Straighten your teeth for a beautiful smile
Many people are troubled by misaligned teeth and a misaligned bite. KI General Dental Clinic offers a variety of orthodontic treatments, including treatment for protruding teeth, brackets, and underbites. However, many people are reluctant to the appearance of orthodontic devices, and in fact, some give up on treatment for that reason. However, our clinic offers discreet orthodontic treatment using transparent mouthpieces, which can be carried out stress-free without worrying about the eyes of others, and is popular with many patients. If you are interested, please feel free to contact KI General Dental Clinic.
The relationship between "tooth alignment" and "occlusion"
Orthodontic treatment is not only about getting the ideal alignment of your teeth, but also about improving your bite. Even after treatment is complete, maintenance is essential, and it is important not to neglect care to maintain good condition.
There are many patients who develop problems with periodontal disease several years after completing orthodontic treatment, and among them, many develop intractable periodontal disease. This is not due to a problem with the orthodontic treatment itself, but rather due to treatment being performed without predicting subsequent changes in occlusion.
In addition, there are many cases where long-term orthodontic treatment shortens the tooth roots. In order to maintain dental health until the average life expectancy of Japanese people is about 90 years, it is essential to maintain a correct occlusion. At KI General Dental Clinic, we consult with an orthodontist to determine the final goal of occlusion (bite alignment) and proceed with treatment.
Misaligned bites can affect your body too
A misaligned bite is not just a problem in the mouth,
-
Because it is difficult to reach every part of the mouth with a toothbrush, there is an increased risk of tooth decay and periodontal disease.
-
People tend to swallow food whole without chewing it properly, which puts a strain on the digestive system.
-
The jaw or mouth may be misaligned, and the overall balance of the face may be lost.
-
Misalignment of the jaw joint puts strain on the neck and shoulder muscles, adversely affecting the balance of the whole body and causing stiff shoulders and headaches.
It can also affect the entire body. For example, incorrect bite alignment can cause headaches, stiff shoulders, and even poor posture. Maintaining a healthy bite is very important for supporting the health of the entire body. Reviewing your oral health and balancing your entire body will lead to a life full of smiles.
We also provide orthodontic consultations.

Second opinions are also accepted.
We respond to consultations from people who are worried about diagnoses they have received from other clinics, such as "I can't understand the explanations at the clinic where I'm currently receiving treatment," "I was told my only option is to have my teeth extracted," or "I was diagnosed as not being able to undergo implant treatment."
