I had the train track braces on my teethg when I was 15 years old for two years.

Within the last few years, I've noticed my front tooth starting to get a little crooked again. A few of my bottom teeth aren't quite as straight as they were either.

Im far too old to go back to train tracks again but I do want my dazzling smile back!

What other options do I have here and what are the costs in Seoul? Any recommendations for a good orthodontist?

Thanks.

Had a lot of work done here... at a handful of offices all over Seoul... come to realize almost of the doctors got their degree in the states, probably studies harder, and needless to say, are much more qualified to answer your question than anyone in this forum... unless of course they themselves are a dentist, lol. If not, we'll always have Thailand.

I was JUST going to make a thread about this. I'll post my concerns here before opening a new thread.

I have some orthodontic work I really need done (bad underbite that must first be corrected with braces) and I'm wondering not only about my treatment options in Korea, but also if having braces will affect my ability to get a job at a Hagwon, as I've heard they can be particular about appearance.

Also, I don't yet have braces but will be certainly getting them before leaving, and so I've been floating out my resume/picture in search of a job without the braces. If I show up with braces are they going to think I misrepresented myself?

I'm very anxious to get over there and this is the only thing really worrying me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
