Murao Orthodontic Clinic, conveniently located a 5-minute walk from the west exit of JR Kusatsu Station, generally begins orthodontic treatment after permanent teeth have fully erupted. The clinic takes ample time during the initial consultation, striving to alleviate patient concerns and address questions. In addition to the primary complaint, a comprehensive oral examination is conducted. By showing orthodontic appliances and presenting treatment examples, patients can develop a clearer understanding of the treatment, with thorough explanations provided, including potential risks. Detailed examinations, including X-rays, facial photographs, intraoral photographs, and dental impressions, take about an hour. Based on the results, a diagnosis is made and an accurate treatment plan is presented. Treatment typically spans several years, and for elementary and middle school students, it is often divided into Phase 1 and Phase 2 treatments. After treatment, retention devices are worn to prevent relapse and maintain the post-treatment condition. The clinic is closed on Thursdays and holidays, with Sunday operations twice a month. This facility provides English-language services, accepts credit cards and electronic payments, and has parking on the first floor. Emphasizing trust with patients, the clinic values keeping appointment times and honoring commitments regarding treatment.
