It is located in Gangnam, but it does not show up on Naver Map. From the outside, it looks like an ordinary clinic. The doctor is indeed a dentist. However, I thought he was an orthodontic specialist, but he is an orthodontics-certified dentist. His graduating school appears to be Chosun University College of Dentistry. He claims overall improvement of frontal facial asymmetry, which other dental clinics or hospitals do not claim.
Usually, other dental clinics or hospitals claim improvement of mandibular asymmetry, but here they claim they can comprehensively correct facial skeletal asymmetry, such as differences in eye level or a crooked nose. They go further and claim they can correct misalignment of the body as well.
After having me correct the position of my misaligned jaw (the doctor corrected it by feel with his hands, and I don't know whether it was truly the correct jaw position), he did something similar to an O-ring test, pushing my arm down with force and showing a kind of proof, saying, “Before correction your arm went down, but now it doesn’t go down, right?” because I had become stronger. It felt a bit like pseudoscience. Rather, these points felt very similar to claims made at Korean medicine clinics. And he scared me by saying many parts of my body were extremely crooked and misaligned, and that if I didn’t get treatment, it would get worse and worse in the future...
The biggest problem is that they said they do not have improved before-and-after photos. If the bone position changes enough, you would expect them to show several X-rays and such, but they said they had no photos because patients did not consent. When I asked how plastic surgery clinics and other hospitals have many before-and-after cases, but this place could have none, they said it was because they had only started this treatment method 4 years ago, and results were only just now starting to come out(?). They then told me several times to read the promotional materials on the hospital website or Facebook. But even after reading those materials, there are no core principles or before-and-after comparison photos. They only use a lot of difficult terminology.
It is not cheap enough to try just in case, as if being fooled. They said it was 9.9 million won. That price includes the palatal expander, splint, and so on, and additional costs are separate. There were many add-on fees, such as physical therapy.
The examination fee was 100,000 won, but I would rather have tried it once, so I am neither curious nor regretful now. If someone has a truly serious concern about facial asymmetry and is desperate, I think their judgment could become clouded and they might pay. I saw a woman pay 2 million won that day.
