The basics

What is orthodontics?

Orthodontics straightens teeth and corrects the bite using fixed braces — small brackets bonded to the teeth and connected by a wire that guides them into position over time. It's the most versatile way to treat crowding, spacing, protrusion and bite problems.

We offer metal, ceramic and Damon self-ligating braces, planned by an orthodontics specialist. For more complex movements, braces achieve results that removable aligners can't — while clear aligners remain a great discreet option for milder cases.

Braces or aligners? Braces handle the widest range of cases, including complex bite correction; clear aligners suit milder, more cosmetic needs. We recommend the one that genuinely fits your case — see our clear aligners too.
Why it matters who plans it

Orthodontics led by a specialist

Braces move teeth over months or years — the diagnosis and plan behind them are what determine your final result.

Orthodontics-focused director

Your treatment is led by a director with a Master's in Orthodontics and the Korea Damon Master Course — years of dedicated braces experience.

Damon self-ligating option

Self-ligating brackets hold the wire without elastic ties, which can mean fewer adjustments and a comfortable, efficient path for suitable cases.

Children to adults

From growth-stage guidance for kids to full correction for adults — the right timing and approach for each age, explained clearly in English.

Choosing your braces

Which braces are right for you?

Three main choices, each with a different balance of appearance, speed and cost. Your specialist recommends the best fit.

Metal (incl. Damon)

The most effective and affordable, suited to the widest range of cases. Damon self-ligating brackets can mean fewer adjustments and good efficiency.

Ceramic

Tooth-coloured brackets that are far less noticeable than metal — a popular middle ground between looks and cost for adults.

Partial

Braces on just the front teeth for minor corrections — shorter treatment time and a lower cost when full braces aren't needed.

Transparent pricing

Orthodontic pricing

Non-covered (비급여) fees in KRW — the same whether or not you have Korean insurance. Braces fees vary by type and case complexity.

Orthodontic diagnosis records, X-ray/scan & treatment plan ₩100,000
Metal / Damon braces full arches on consultation
Ceramic braces tooth-coloured on consultation
Partial braces front teeth only on consultation
The ₩100,000 diagnosis fee is deducted from your treatment cost if you proceed. Because orthodontic fees depend heavily on the braces type and how much movement is needed, we give you a firm written quote after your diagnosis. See full pricing →

Common questions

Orthodontics FAQ

Most orthodontic treatment takes about 18 months to 2–3 years, depending on the complexity of your case and the movement required. Partial (front-teeth-only) cases can be much shorter. After your diagnosis we give you a realistic timeline and schedule adjustments around your travel where possible.

Both work the same way; the difference is appearance and cost. Metal braces are the most affordable and effective across the widest range of cases. Ceramic braces use tooth-coloured brackets that blend in far more, at a higher cost. Your specialist helps you choose based on your case, your look and your budget.

Self-ligating braces hold the wire with a built-in clip instead of elastic ties. For suitable cases this can mean less friction, fewer adjustment visits and good efficiency. Our director completed the Korea Damon Master Course, so it's a system we use with real depth of experience.

It depends on your case. Braces handle the widest range, including complex bite and jaw-relationship correction. Clear aligners are excellent for milder crowding or spacing and for anyone wanting a discreet, removable option. We give you an honest recommendation rather than pushing one over the other — see our clear aligners too.

It varies. Some issues are best watched and treated during growth, while others wait until more adult teeth are in. A specialist assessment identifies the right timing for your child — sometimes early guidance simplifies later treatment, and sometimes it's best to wait. Message us your child's age and we'll advise.

Absolutely — many of our orthodontic patients are adults, and there's no upper age limit for healthy teeth and gums. You'll feel mild pressure or tenderness for a few days after fitting and adjustments, which settles quickly. Ceramic braces and clear aligners are popular discreet options for adults.

Orthodontic fees depend a lot on the braces type and how much movement your case needs, so we quote after your diagnosis rather than guess. A ₩100,000 diagnosis fee covers your records and plan and is deducted from the treatment cost if you proceed. You'll get a clear written quote with no hidden add-ons.
