We treat the teeth and the entire body as a single organism.
EPODA System for Integrated Dental and Whole-body Care

Wouldn't the degree of asymmetry and misalignment be okay?

You might think that simply applying it to your teeth is enough, but that is not the case.

Normal occlusion

Misaligned occlusion

The jaw and teeth play a significant role in the body's center of gravity. Even a slight misalignment can disrupt this balance. Even with a single dental treatment, only when the occlusion and overall body balance are harmoniously aligned can the treatment be comfortable and long-lasting for the patient.

Do you happen to experience throat pain accompanied by snoring?
If your teeth are misaligned, your body hurts.
Since jaw joint dysfunction caused by malocclusion or tooth loss can lead to various symptoms such as headaches, dizziness, neck pain, herniated discs, neurological disorders, and depression, it needs to be viewed from a holistic perspective.
Do you have the following symptoms?
Consider full-body corrective treatment.

The tooth centerline is misaligned.

My teeth are crooked and my bite is poor.

The tongue is located in a place other than the roof of the mouth.

When you open your mouth wide and stick out your tongue, your uvula is barely visible.

K Dental Clinic's orthodontics is different from the textbook.
Experience corrective treatment that views the entire body as a single organism.
Brain and nerves
facial skull
Dental occlusion and temporomandibular joint
cervical spine (neck)
spine (back)
lumbar spine (pelvis)
Structural

Structural disharmony of the jaw joint caused by dental occlusion problems leads to a decline in the function of the four major masticatory muscles that hold the jaw, causing the body's overall balance to become sequentially distorted.

chemical

Consuming improper food accumulates toxins in the body and causes warning signs for oral health, such as stomatitis, gingival bleeding, and white coating on the tongue.

mental

If the jaw joint or occlusion is poor, the function of sensory receptors deteriorates, leading to an overall decline in brain function.

Designing your healthy future
The EPODA dentistry system is with you.
3D precision analysis system
We precisely diagnose the balance of the oral cavity and the entire body, including teeth, jaw joints, airway, and cervical spine, using 3D-CT.
Healthy and comfortable tooth occlusion design
We use digital technology to precisely design not only the analysis of tooth condition but also the exploration and direction of tooth movement paths and the degree of occlusal force.
Secure your airway and make breathing easier.
It improves structural problems in the oral cavity and widens narrowed airways, significantly enhancing breathing capacity.
02
We reduce errors and improve treatment efficiency using digital technology.

1928 Orthodontic Program
Fast and precise tooth movement while preserving healthy teeth
Bio rapid correction
This orthodontic treatment method, first developed by Professor Jung Kyu-rim and his team in 1996, promotes effective tooth movement based on the four vital phenomena of the oral and maxillofacial system: breathing, swallowing, chewing, and speech. When signals are sent to the teeth through the orthodontic device, these signals are transmitted to the surrounding tissues and the cells within them, causing the teeth to move on their own.
Our body naturally opens up constricted airways to keep the whole body healthy.
jaw correction
Snoring, teeth grinding, and sleep apnea can be caused by a narrow maxillary arch. The DNA corrector used in such cases is a special orthodontic system that activates the body's genes to induce natural changes. When worn in the evening and at night, the body naturally guides the healthy alignment of teeth and the dental arch over time, transforming the oral structure into one that facilitates easier breathing.
Highly aesthetic orthodontic method applicable to various cases
Invisalign clear braces
Invisalign offers the advantage of easy oral care, such as preventing cavities and gum disease, without restricting daily life, and allows for the treatment of complex cases like protruding teeth and reverse bites. Additionally, it boasts superior aesthetics compared to other devices, enabling a confident smile while wearing them, and is convenient due to the reduced frequency of dental visits.
Comfortable aesthetic correction with minimal irritation thanks to ergonomic design
Clarity™ Ultra
Composed of translucent all-ceramic, it offers excellent aesthetics and stain resistance. Designed for patient comfort, its smooth surfaces and edges minimize friction within the oral cavity. With an upgraded self-ligating structure, wire exposure is relatively minimal after the procedure, and the brackets are inconspicuous, allowing you to smile more confidently during orthodontic treatment.
Inducing proper dental arch growth with child-friendly orthodontics
Children's growth correction
Traditional braces, such as metal braces, are visible outside the teeth, which can have a negative impact on a child's emotional well-being, potentially leading to teasing by peers or psychological withdrawal. K Dental Clinic utilizes Inmialign First and 3M brackets for pediatric orthodontics. By minimizing the number of visits through superior aesthetics, minimal irritation and discomfort, and ease of treatment, we have reduced children's resistance to orthodontic treatment.

How is K Dental Clinic's orthodontic treatment different from general orthodontics?

K Dental Clinic offers faster treatment speeds by targeting only the teeth that require movement, moving away from the mechanical movements of conventional orthodontic treatment.
Biocompatible custom braces for all age groups
This is a customized orthodontic program that considers overall oral health, including not only proper arch development but also desirable oral habits, comfortable breathing, and jaw joint function.
Conservative orthodontic treatment that minimizes tooth extraction and unnecessary movement
It is a conservative orthodontic method that reduces the burden on the patient during treatment by applying appropriate force only to the desired teeth, while avoiding contact with healthy teeth as much as possible, such as through extraction.
For adults with slow tooth movement, specialized surgical techniques are combined under local anesthesia.
The rate of bone and tooth movement in adults is slower compared to growing patients. We enhance treatment efficiency by combining specialized surgical techniques under local anesthesia, such as guided bone regeneration and cortical bone resection (osteomalacia), to overcome these anatomical limitations.
Expect highly satisfying improvements with natural lip line changes
Since the teeth and the jawbone supporting them move simultaneously while inducing the desired amount of physiological movement, the lip line is improved more naturally.
Based on clinical data from a Master of Dental Science with over 30 years of experience
We design fast and delicate tooth movement tailored to various cases.
