Precision Light-accelerated Mouthpiece Orthodontic Treatment

The period of orthodontic treatment can be significantly shortened by using the light acceleration device!

*We aim to achieve half the normal period.

For those who are considering orthodontic treatment, do you have any of these concerns?

I want to finish orthodontic treatment as soon as possible.

I don't want to wear braces for years.

I want to have my orthodontic treatment as unnoticeable as possible.

I don't want to have painful treatment.

I want to have orthodontic treatment, but I am worried about the cost.

Cases that can be treated

Upper jaw protrusion that causes protruding teeth

The upper front teeth protrude forward. This not only affects the appearance of the teeth, but also makes it difficult to close the mouth, which increases the risk of tooth decay.

Opposite bite: The lower jaw is protruded forward (passive mouth).

An anteversion, in which the lower front teeth are more forward than the upper, can lead to difficulty in eating and slurring of speech. It can be caused or aggravated by cheek swallowing or mouth breathing.

Upper and lower jaw protrusion

Because the upper and lower teeth protrude forward, it is often difficult to close the mouth without being conscious of it, which can lead to dry mouth and increase the risk of tooth decay and periodontal disease.

Roughly aligned teeth

The risk of dental caries and periodontal disease is increased because it is difficult to brush the teeth.

Wide gaps between the teeth (stubby teeth): air gap dentition.

The gaps between the teeth allow air to leak in, which affects the smoothness of the tongue, especially when pronouncing the "sa" and "ta" lines. In addition, food tends to get stuck between the teeth, increasing the risk of tooth decay.

Open bite: The front teeth do not bite together.

The front teeth do not bite together, making it difficult to eat and food cannot be chewed completely. The bone that supports the front teeth is easily resorbed due to the lack of chewing stimulation.

Overbite: A deep bite.

The overbite is a tooth arrangement in which the upper front teeth cover the lower teeth to the extent that they are hidden by the lower teeth. This can damage the front gums and cause TMJ disorder.

Median misalignment, in which the center of the teeth is misaligned between the upper and lower teeth

Median misalignment is caused not only by misaligned teeth, but also by misalignment of the jaws and bite. If left untreated, it can cause jaw strain and stiff shoulders.

There are 5 reasons why our "Precision Light Acceleration Mouthpiece Orthodontic Treatment" is chosen.

1. the period of orthodontic treatment can be significantly shortened by using the light-accelerating device *We aim to reduce the period of orthodontic treatment by half of the normal time.

Our orthodontic treatment can shorten the treatment period to less than half of the conventional orthodontic treatment* by using the light-accelerated orthodontic device (OrthoHealing) in combination with orthodontic treatment. Generally, orthodontic treatment as a whole takes one to three years, and many people give up on orthodontic treatment because they have to go to the dentist many times. However, by using the light-accelerated orthodontic appliance, it is now possible to activate cellular activity by stimulating periodontal tissues with light or vibration, accelerating tooth movement and dramatically shortening the orthodontic period.

The effectiveness of the light-accelerated orthodontic appliance depends on the type of orthodontic appliance, the extent of treatment, the condition of the teeth, and the age of the patient.

How teeth move with "Ortho-Healing" orthodontic appliance

Cosmetic dentistry to beautify your teeth is available after orthodontic treatment with a mouthpiece.

We take enough time to explain the patient's dental condition, treatment methods, types and characteristics of prosthetics, whether or not they are covered by insurance, and the costs involved, in order to ensure that the patient is satisfied with the treatment.

Each patient's mouth is not a one-size-fits-all, and each patient has his or her own originality. We set the ideal finish as the goal of our treatment. 3.

3. almost painless (light acceleration device makes you feel less pain)

By wearing the light-accelerated orthodontic device (OrthoHealing) in conjunction with the mouthpiece orthodontic treatment for 8 minutes a day (about 4 minutes for each upper and lower jaw), the sensation of pain can be alleviated.

*The effect of the light-accelerated orthodontic appliance may vary from person to person.

4. all orthodontic treatments can be combined with light acceleration devices

The light acceleration device is painless because it is simply placed in the mouth to irradiate light (or vibrate in the case of vibro-adjustment) to the teeth, and is compatible with various orthodontic treatments such as Invisalign, a discreet mouthpiece orthodontic treatment, and wire orthodontic treatment. (Vibro-adjustment cannot be used for wire orthodontic treatment.)

5. clear treatment fees (the lowest dental loan in the industry is available)

Our "Precision Light Acceleration Mouthpiece Orthodontic" treatment is reasonably priced, including the fee for the light acceleration device, based on our treatment experience and achievements.

Example of payment for Invisalign

11,084 yen per month

The flow of "Precision Light-accelerated Mouthpiece Orthodontic Treatment

1. counseling

First of all, our orthodontist will ask you about your concerns and wishes in the counseling session, and explain the "Precision Light-accelerated Mouthpiece Orthodontic Treatment" treatment flow, treatment period, cost, etc. If you have any concerns or questions, please do not hesitate to ask any questions you may have. We will take the time to answer your questions in detail.

Minors must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. 2.

2. precision examination

If you are interested in "Precision Light Acceleration Mouthpiece Orthodontic Treatment", we will perform a detailed examination including dental mold, intraoral photographs, x-rays, and CT scan to gather detailed information about your mouth. The detailed examination takes about one hour. Based on the information from the examination, the orthodontist will develop a customized treatment plan for each patient. 3.

3. planning and explanation of the treatment plan

Based on the results of the examination, our orthodontist will explain the treatment plan of "Precision Light Acceleration Mouthpiece Orthodontic Treatment".

From the start of treatment to the completion of treatment, we will show you how your teeth will move and how beautiful your teeth will look by using a 3D simulation image called "ClinCheck", and explain the treatment plan to you in detail so that you do not have any worries or questions about the treatment.

If the patient does not approve of the treatment plan, we will not recommend treatment forcibly.

4) Mouthpiece fabrication

Once you approve the treatment plan and treatment details, we will analyze the examination data and perform a simulation. We will convert the dental mold into 3D digital data and order the mouthpiece. 5.

5. examination and treatment of decayed teeth and periodontal disease

If you wear a mouthpiece while you have a decayed tooth or periodontal disease, it may be difficult to move your teeth according to the treatment plan, or even if we succeed in moving your teeth, there is a possibility that the decayed tooth or periodontal disease may cause a dental misalignment after the treatment. For these reasons, we always treat any carious teeth or periodontal disease before starting the "Precision Light Acceleration Mouthpiece Orthodontic" treatment.

We will also provide you with tooth brushing instruction, which is essential for maintaining your oral health, so that you can take good care of your oral health during orthodontic treatment.

6. start of treatment

The treatment will begin with the wearing of the mouthpiece. Basically, the patient should wear the mouthpiece for at least 20 hours a day during daily life, except when eating or brushing teeth. During the first few months of treatment, you will visit the clinic once a month to adjust the device and check the movement of your teeth. After that, you will visit the clinic once every two to three months. About every 10 days, the treatment will be replaced by the next one. The estimated treatment period varies greatly depending on the condition of the teeth, but is approximately 1 to 3 years. 7.

7. wearing the light acceleration device at home

You will wear the light-accelerated orthodontic appliance (OrthoHealing) at home for 8 minutes a day (about 4 minutes for each upper and lower jaw) in combination with the orthodontic treatment of the mouthpiece.

The light-accelerated orthodontic appliance emits infrared rays of 850 nm in wavelength, and the periodontal tissue exposed to the infrared rays increases blood flow. The activity of individual cells leads to accelerated tooth movement. Although the effect of the light-accelerated orthodontic appliance varies from person to person, it can shorten the period of orthodontic treatment by shortening the interval between mouthpiece changes. 8.

8. end of treatment, retention period

After all the mouthpieces have been worn and the teeth alignment has been improved, the patient will enter the periodontal maintenance period. To prevent the teeth from returning to their original state due to habits of chewing and tongue movement, the patient wears a retainer for about 1 to 3 years to observe the progress of the bite and teeth to stabilize the alignment of the teeth. During the retention period, please visit the clinic every 3 to 6 months. The treatment is completed when the retention period is over.
