Nakagawa Orthodontics
About
Located a 4-8 minute walk from Osaka-Umeda Station, this orthodontic specialty clinic carries on the tradition of the "Takimoto Orthodontic Research Institute" founded in 1975 by a professor emeritus of Osaka University. In 2005, the clinic relocated to its current location, providing accessible healthcare services. Counseling is available even on Sundays, and the clinic offers services in English and accepts credit cards and electronic payments. The director, who served as an associate professor in the Department of Orthodontics at Osaka University, incorporates techniques acquired through training at the University of North Carolina and Temple University in the United States into clinical practice. In terms of hygiene management, the clinic uses formalin gas sterilizers and electrolyzed oxidizing water for sterilizing orthodontic appliances, and employs disposable cups and aprons to create a safe environment. The clinic features an interior with diatomaceous earth walls and abundant natural wood, along with seven air purifiers, providing a relaxing environment. This highly specialized facility is accredited as a clinical training institution by the Japanese Orthodontic Society.
