Nonoyama Orthodontics

About

Located in Higashihiroshima City, Hiroshima Prefecture, Nonoyama Orthodontic Clinic is a specialized dental facility focused exclusively on orthodontic treatment. The clinic does not provide general dental care such as cavity treatment, instead concentrating on dental alignment and bite correction. The clinic is staffed by physicians holding certifications from the Japanese Orthodontic Society, including certified and specialist qualifications. It is also designated as a Self-reliance Support Medical Institution (Developmental Medical Care and Rehabilitation Medical Care) and certified as a Maxillofacial Function Diagnostic Facility. In terms of clinical capabilities, dental CT has been utilized since 2008, enabling highly accurate three-dimensional diagnosis. The facility maintains a comprehensive diagnostic system using CT for definitive diagnosis of degenerative temporomandibular joint disorders and detailed pre- and post-operative examinations for orthodontic anchor screws. Consultations for surgical orthodontics covered by insurance for jaw deformities are also available. Clinic hours are from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, with Saturday, Sunday, and holiday appointments available. Wednesday is the regular closing day, with additional closures during the New Year and Obon periods. Special programs designed to minimize visit frequency are offered for patients traveling from distant areas. The facility is equipped with parking and barrier-free access, and accepts credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments. English-language support is available, and free consultations are offered. The clinic does not perform general treatments such as cavity treatment or tooth extractions; when such care is needed, a coordination system with patients' regular dentists is in place. For cases requiring advanced surgical treatment, a referral system to affiliated oral surgery and plastic surgery departments has been established. The clinic focuses on orthodontic treatment that moves natural teeth from a long-term perspective, with approximately 70% of patients visiting through referrals.
