Tenshin Dental Orthodontics
About
Located in Komatsushima City, Tokushima Prefecture, Tenshin Orthodontic Clinic specializes in orthodontic treatment. Dr. Satoru Tenshin, the clinic director, earned his Doctor of Dental Science degree from Tokushima University Graduate School and served as an associate professor in the Department of Orthodontics at the university's Faculty of Dentistry. He holds certifications as a certified orthodontist, instructor, and clinical instructor from the Japanese Orthodontic Society. The clinic offers orthodontic treatment for common dental alignment and bite issues, as well as treatment for patients with cleft lip and palate or congenital conditions, and orthodontic treatment for jaw deformities. Since orthodontic treatment requires treatment periods spanning years, the clinic provides clear and thorough explanations to patients and their families regarding treatment details, duration, fees, and general risks, ensuring that treatment begins only after patients are fully informed. To maintain healthy and beautiful teeth both during and after orthodontic treatment, the clinic actively incorporates myofunctional therapy, which provides guidance on lip and tongue usage, in addition to instruction on tooth brushing and dietary and nutritional management. Clinic hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM in the morning and 2:30 PM to 6:30 PM in the afternoon, with closures on Thursdays, holidays, during the Obon period, and at the end of the year. The clinic has a parking lot and can accommodate English-speaking patients.
