Hello, I received orthodontic treatment at Kyung Hee University.
First, the price was really expensive for me. Maybe because it was a university, it was expensive.. I think the total came out to about 7.0 to 7.5 million won, including the orthodontic fee + monthly treatment fees (100,000 won) + retainers. (I did calculate it exactly, but I forgot haha;;)
But I am as satisfied as the price was high. In particular, the orthodontic treatment took about 1 year and 6 months in total.
1. Early stage of orthodontic treatment: My teeth had severe crowding, and the teeth themselves were large compared with my jaw, so I had 4 premolars removed, upper and lower. It ached until day 3, and for 2 weeks it was a little uncomfortable to eat because of the blood. Then, 2 weeks later, I started orthodontic treatment right away. 2. Months 1-6: It hurts, is irritating, and uncomfortable. But I endured it because I could see my teeth changing that much. I also started wearing elastics. 3. Months 6-12: To be honest, from this point I already felt like it was finished. I had adapted to the braces, so they did not hurt much, and I only kept hoping it would end quickly. Oh, and around this time, I also started the procedure of placing screws to reduce protrusion (if you do not have wisdom teeth, you can get even better results). 4. Finishing orthodontic treatment: After that, my teeth were aligned and finished up for about 6 months. 5. Retainers: Retainers are a bit of an unexpected obstacle. Usually they are divided into fixed and removable types, but fixed retainers detach or break more often than expected. Each time that happens, you have to go to the hospital frequently to get them repaired, so everyone getting orthodontic treatment should make sure to take the removable retainer with you too,, I kept making wasted trips because after repairs it no longer fit with the removable one..
Overall review Price: As expected, expensive (almost twice the price compared with other hospitals; thinking about it now, why did I pay so much?) 1.5 stars Orthodontic satisfaction: Very satisfied, as much as the price I paid. 5 stars Orthodontic treatment time: I think 1.5 years is fast. 5 stars
If you do not care about the price and just want to get orthodontic treatment quickly and be satisfied, I recommend it! The end
