Aligner treatment planned around your trips to Korea
Because aligner stages are manufactured in advance from a digital plan, treatment does not require monthly visits — a schedule many of our overseas patients rely on.
How treatment works for overseas patients
- First visit in Korea — full diagnosis: X-rays, intraoral scan, bite and jaw-joint assessment.
- Digital planning — tooth movement is simulated and a series of aligner stages is designed.
- Take your aligner stages with you — several stages are dispensed at once with wear instructions.
- Check-ups on your schedule — reviews are aligned with your return trips; questions in between are handled through the clinic's KakaoTalk channel.
- Finishing & retention — refinement if needed, then retainers to stabilise the result.
What clear aligners can treat
Spacing, crowding, mild-to-moderate misalignment and selected deep-bite cases respond well to aligners. Severe skeletal problems may be better served by fixed appliances or combined approaches — suitability is confirmed at diagnosis, not assumed.
Why patients choose us
- Treatment is planned and supervised personally by a board-certified orthodontist with 30 years of clinical experience
- The clinic previously held a Ministry of Health & Welfare registration for treating international patients
- Wear time matters: aligners work when worn 20+ hours a day — we are upfront that patient cooperation, not the brand of aligner, decides the outcome
Please note: consultations are conducted in Korean; if you do not speak Korean,
we recommend visiting with a Korean-speaking companion or contacting us via the KakaoTalk channel
"강남워싱턴치과" in advance so we can prepare for your visit.
