What kind of clinic is Bareun Face Orthodontic Clinic?
Bareun Face Orthodontic Clinic is an orthodontic clinic in Minrak-dong, Uijeongbu, just north of Seoul. The director, Dr. Kyung Hyun (경현), is a board-certified orthodontist recognized by the Korean Ministry of Health and Welfare and an accredited member of the Korean Association of Orthodontists. The same doctor handles your consultation, diagnosis, treatment design, adjustments and retainer follow-up.
Before choosing an appliance, the clinic first decides whether treatment is needed now, and if so, when and how. Growth stage, bite and jaw joint (TMJ) condition are reviewed together using a CT scan and an iTero Lumina intraoral scanner, and the 3D simulation is reviewed with you on screen.
Which treatments does the clinic focus on?
| Focus area | Who it is for | Main methods | More |
|---|---|---|---|
| Children's orthodontics (phase 1) | Elementary to middle school children | Invisalign First, Preortho functional appliances, space management, guiding jaw growth | Ask at consultation |
| Clear aligners and braces | Teens and adults | Invisalign (Platinum status), Angel Aligner, metal and ceramic braces | Invisalign · Orthodontics |
| TMJ and bite stability | Jaw pain, clicking, limited opening | Splints, physical therapy, injections; stabilize first, then orthodontics if needed | TMJ treatment |
The clinic also provides no-prep veneers, professional whitening, and oral appliances for snoring and sleep apnea. For each of these, an examination comes first to check whether you are a suitable candidate, and if you are not, the reason is explained.
What are the clinic's treatment principles?
- Only the treatment you need. If waiting is the better choice, the doctor will say so.
- Comfort during treatment matters, not only the result. Appliance type and visit intervals are planned around your schedule.
- Care until the end. Orthodontics can take years, so the same standards apply from the first visit to retainer follow-up.
Who visits from outside Uijeongbu?
The clinic is near the Minrak IC of the Guri-Pocheon Expressway, so many patients drive in from Pocheon, Yangju (Okjeong), Dongducheon, Yeoncheon, Cheorwon and Byeollae in Namyangju. For patients who live far away, the doctor can consider appliances that allow longer intervals between visits. See Directions & hours for driving times.
