Key takeaways
Visiting from abroad? In Banghak-dong, English-speaking support varies by clinic, and none of the public data used here records it, so it has to be confirmed by phone or through the clinic's own booking page before you travel. Ask whether an English-speaking dentist or coordinator will be available on your preferred date, and bring your passport or ARC, a list of any medications you take, and previous dental records or X-rays.
If you are researching braces (orthodontic) clinics in Banghak-dong (방학동), this comparison starts with 서울브라이튼치과 (Seoul Brighton Dental). In the data provided, its Kakao rating is 4.6, it has 225 Naver visitor reviews and 450 Kakao reviews, and it sits 168 m from Changdong Station Exit 2. However, the collected data does not specify whether any of the five clinics — this one included — provides orthodontic treatment, or what appliances and costs would be involved. The order therefore follows the requested arrangement, not clinical superiority; whether braces consultations are available, and what the treatment plan would be, must be confirmed directly with each clinic.
The five clinics compared have an average Kakao Map rating of 4.7. Reviews are reference material that shows what a visit was like; they do not guarantee treatment results. Below, the figures that could be verified are presented separately from the reviews.
How we analyzed
The source data comprises 2,376 Naver Place visitor reviews, 1,116 Kakao Map reviews, and registry information from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA). For each clinic we compared the Naver, Kakao, and Google review counts provided, the Kakao and Google ratings, location, opening hours, and amenities. The total review figure in each clinic table adds the Naver, Kakao, and Google counts and excludes blog reviews. Platforms that did not provide a rating are marked "No data." HIRA records showed no dental specialist count for any of the five clinics, so it is marked "Not available." Details may differ from current information depending on when and how the reviews and registry data were collected.
서울브라이튼치과 (Seoul Brighton Dental)
Presented first as requested. Based on the data provided, its Kakao rating is 4.6, with 225 Naver visitor reviews, 450 Kakao reviews, and 35 Google reviews. Blog reviews are counted separately at 2,850. HIRA records give no information on the number of dental specialists. Reviews mention thorough scaling, friendly staff, and late-hours appointments. These are individual experiences and say nothing about the quality or outcome of orthodontic treatment.
“I came here because it's near my home — the treatment was quick and kind, and the scaling was incredibly thorough.” (Naver review, venommi, 9 November 2026; translated from Korean)
“Thank you for seeing me kindly even late in the day.” (Naver review, 쏭핫, 4 November 2026; translated from Korean)
The address appears in the source data only as “서울브라이튼치과의원,” so no street address could be confirmed. For transport, it is 168 m from Changdong Station Exit 2. Hours are Mon/Thu 09:30–20:30, Tue/Wed/Fri 09:30–18:30, and Sat 09:30–14:00; Sunday hours are not in the data. Lunch hours were not confirmed either. Reservation and parking are listed as amenities, but it is worth asking about the booking method and parking conditions before you visit. Phone: 0507-1322-2879. Website, blog, and Instagram links are provided.
If you want a braces consultation, first check whether the clinic provides orthodontic treatment and what the consultation and diagnostic items and costs are. The reviews contain no orthodontic experiences. At the consultation, ask for the cost by appliance type, the expected duration, retainer fees, and visit intervals in writing — that makes comparing clinics easier. The address and lunch hours, which are missing from the data, need to be confirmed by phone.
연세키즈몽치과의원 (Yonsei Kids Mong Dental Clinic)
The provided data shows a Kakao rating of 5.0, with 338 Naver reviews, 8 Kakao reviews, and 0 Google reviews. Blog reviews total 167. Since the Kakao review count is only 8, read the rating together with the review count. HIRA records give no information on the number of dental specialists. Visitor reviews describe staff explaining procedures to children and putting them at ease, and mention a playroom and parking. These are accounts of pediatric care and are not evidence that the clinic provides orthodontic treatment.
“They explained each step of the treatment at my child's eye level so she wouldn't be scared, and were warm and attentive so she wouldn't get nervous.” (Naver review, Mond Lee, 20 October 2026; translated from Korean)
“My kids are comfortable going to the dentist, and we like how quick and kind they are.” (Naver review, vjdzl4079, 10 April 2026; translated from Korean)
The address is 서울 도봉구 마들로 650 도봉월드상가 3층 312호 (650 Madeul-ro, Dobong World Shopping Center, 3F Unit 312, Dobong-gu, Seoul), and the phone number is 02-907-2275. It is listed as 367 m from Banghak Station Exit 2. Hours are Mon–Fri 10:00–18:30 and Sat 10:00–16:00, with weekday hours — Thursday included — the same in the data. Sunday hours and lunch hours were not confirmed. There is no separate information on amenities or how to book, so calling before you visit is advisable.
Reviews mostly cover experiences with children's treatment, and the data does not say whether adult or pediatric orthodontics is offered. If you are considering a braces consultation, ask directly about the age range treated, the diagnostic process, appliance options, and total cost. For a child, you can also ask at the consultation how treatment is explained to guardians and what the regular visit schedule looks like. Parking is mentioned in reviews but is not listed in the official amenity data, so the conditions should be checked.
서울 리즈치과의원 (Seoul Liz Dental Clinic)
Based on the data provided, the Kakao rating is 4.8 and the Google rating is 4.8. There are 1,109 Naver reviews, 566 Kakao reviews, and 0 Google reviews, plus 1,234 blog reviews. HIRA records give no information on the number of dental specialists. The collected reviews mostly describe implant consultations and treatment and consultations with the director. Implant reviews are not evidence of orthodontic treatment or its results, so whether braces consultations are available must be checked separately.
“At the implant consultation they honestly explained the surgery cost, the surgery time, and how to care for my gums beforehand, all at once — I had no choice but to choose this place.” (Naver review, rev****, 11 November 2026; translated from Korean)
“I moved here from Busan and it was an important time to switch dentists; I saw the Naver visit reviews and knew it had to be this one, and my choice wasn't wrong.” (Naver review, pdh****, 9 November 2026; translated from Korean)
The address is listed only as “서울 리즈치과의원” in the source data, so the street address could not be confirmed. It is listed as 318 m from Banghak Station Exit 3, while a separate amenities note says 500 m from Banghak Station Exit 3 — the two distance figures differ. There is a note that parking is available behind the building at 도봉로 677 (677 Dobong-ro) when arriving by car, but ask about the actual parking conditions. Hours are Mon–Fri 09:30–18:00; Saturday and Sunday hours are not in the data. Lunch hours were not confirmed. Phone: 0507-1486-1278.
The data mentions same-day booking, immediate treatment, and a focus on implants, but contains no information on orthodontic treatment. Before a braces consultation, call to confirm whether treatment is available and what the booking procedure is. If orthodontics is offered, it is practical to ask separately about the diagnostic examination fee, the cost per appliance, the expected duration, and retainer fees. Opening hours and parking details should be re-checked before you visit.
다움치과의원 (Daum Dental Clinic)
The Kakao rating is 4.6 and the Google rating is 4.4. Naver reviews total 569, Kakao reviews 46, and Google reviews 0, with 517 blog reviews. HIRA records give no information on the number of dental specialists. Reviews cover wisdom tooth extraction, scaling, implants, and staff friendliness. This content reflects individual visitors' experiences and does not indicate whether orthodontic treatment is provided or how it turns out.
“The three wisdom teeth I'd been putting off — my life's long-delayed homework — were all removed at Daum Dental as of today.” (Naver review, Perfumewave, 10 November 2026; translated from Korean)
“The scaling was comfortable and didn't hurt.” (Naver review, als****, 10 November 2026; translated from Korean)
The address is 서울 도봉구 도봉로 726 4층 (726 Dobong-ro, 4F, Dobong-gu, Seoul) and the phone number is 0507-1404-2270. It is 140 m from Banghak Station Exit 1. Hours are Mon/Tue/Wed/Fri 09:00–18:00, Thu 14:00–21:00, and Sat 09:00–14:00; Sunday hours are not in the data. Lunch hours were not confirmed. Reservations, parking, a waiting area, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, and simple payment are listed as amenities. Ask about actual parking availability and how to book before visiting.
Information about orthodontics is not included in the collected data. If you are looking for braces, first call to confirm whether the clinic provides orthodontic treatment, then ask at the consultation how diagnostic records and the treatment plan are presented. Reviews in the provided data also mention being seated right after booking or waiting less than 10 minutes, but waiting times vary by day. If you need an evening appointment, Thursday hours are the reference point, though it is safer to confirm same-day availability.
연세휴치과보존과치과의원 (Yonsei Hyu Dental Clinic)
The provided data shows a Kakao rating of 4.5, with 135 Naver reviews, 46 Kakao reviews, and 0 Google reviews. Blog reviews total 70. HIRA records give no information on the number of dental specialists. Reviews mention explanations during checkups, thorough treatment and scaling, and the anesthesia process. These accounts are individual visit experiences and do not establish whether orthodontic treatment is available.
“After the checkup I got a kind explanation and consultation; I confirmed the treatment appointment.” (Naver review, sou****, 14 October 2026; translated from Korean)
“I like that they're thorough — they look at your teeth carefully, and the scaling was great too.” (Naver review, wkd****, 10 July 2026; translated from Korean)
The address is 서울 도봉구 방학로 158 1층, 2층 (158 Banghak-ro, 1F–2F, Dobong-gu, Seoul) and the phone number is 02-3494-2228. No transport or accessibility information was provided. Hours are Mon/Wed/Fri 09:00–18:00, Tue/Thu 09:00–20:00, and Sat 09:00–13:30. Sunday hours and lunch hours were not confirmed. Reservation and parking are listed as amenities, but parking conditions require a separate inquiry. Website, blog, and Instagram links are provided.
Whether the clinic provides orthodontic treatment, and which appliances it offers, could not be confirmed in the collected data. If orthodontics is your goal, call first to check whether consultations are available, and on the day ask separately about the orthodontic diagnostic fee, which items the treatment cost includes, and retainer fees. Reviews mention that booking was difficult, so if you have a preferred date, check availability in advance. That reflects a reviewer's experience and does not guarantee current appointment availability.

Checklist for choosing a braces clinic
- Whether orthodontics is offered — Before visiting, confirm that the clinic provides braces consultations and treatment.
- Diagnostic process — Ask which records are reviewed during the consultation and examination, and how the treatment plan is explained.
- Appliance options — Check which methods are suitable for you — metal, ceramic, lingual, clear aligners — and what the selection criteria are.
- Total cost range — Ask item by item whether diagnostic tests, appliances, regular visits, and additional procedures are included.
- Retainer costs — Confirm whether retainers and the retention plan are billed separately after treatment.
- Expected duration — Since this varies by individual, discuss your expected treatment period and how likely it is to change.
- Visit schedule — Check the interval between regular visits and the procedure for changing an appointment.
- Opening and lunch hours — Ask whether the listed hours match actual practice, and about lunch hours and public holiday opening.
- Booking and parking — Confirm how to book, whether same-day consultations are possible, and the parking location, cost, and conditions.
The 2026 braces cost reference figures provided are 3.5–6 million KRW for metal, 5–8 million KRW for ceramic, 8–15 million KRW for lingual, and 4–9 million KRW for clear aligners. The typical duration reference is 18–30 months, and retainers are often billed separately. Actual costs and duration must be confirmed through an individual diagnosis and the clinic's guidance; these reference figures are not the price at any specific clinic.
Warning signs
- No explanation of the total or what it includes — Ask for diagnostic, appliance, visit, and retainer costs to be broken down and confirmed in writing.
- Firm promises about duration or results — Check whether individual variation and the possibility of a changed plan are explained alongside them.
- Insufficient explanation of the diagnosis and treatment plan — Ask for the examination results and the reasons for the chosen appliance to be explained in a way you understand.
- Unclear information on booking, hours, or extra costs — Confirm before your visit, and keep a record of what was discussed and quoted.
Frequently asked questions
What should I check first when choosing a braces clinic in Banghak-dong?
First confirm that the clinic actually provides orthodontic treatment, then discuss the diagnostic process, appliance options, total cost, expected duration, and retainer fees. The clinic data provided does not state whether any of the five offers braces treatment.
Can I get treatment in English at any of these clinics?
The data used here does not say. None of the five listings includes information about English-speaking dentists, interpreters, or an international patient desk, so this article makes no claim that any of them offers English-language service. Call the clinic directly (numbers are listed above) or check its booking page and ask whether an English-speaking dentist is available on your appointment date, and whether you may bring your own interpreter.
What is the average Kakao rating of the five clinics?
The five Kakao ratings provided are 4.6, 5.0, 4.8, 4.6, and 4.5, averaging 4.7. Read ratings together with review counts, and do not interpret them as a guarantee of treatment results.
How much does braces treatment cost in Banghak-dong?
The 2026 reference figures provided are 3.5–6 million KRW for metal, 5–8 million KRW for ceramic, 8–15 million KRW for lingual, and 4–9 million KRW for clear aligners. Actual amounts vary by clinic and by individual treatment plan, so a direct consultation is needed.
How long does braces treatment usually take?
The reference duration in the provided data is typically 18–30 months. There are differences depending on individual diagnosis, and the data notes that retainers are often billed separately.
If a clinic has many reviews, does that mean it is good at braces?
That cannot be concluded. Review counts and ratings are reference material about visit experiences and do not directly show whether orthodontic treatment is provided or how it turns out. Judge based on your own diagnosis, the explanation you receive, and the treatment plan.
Final thoughts
When looking for a braces clinic in Banghak-dong, use reviews and location as a starting point, but first keep in mind that orthodontic treatment availability could not be confirmed in the collected data. 서울브라이튼치과 (Seoul Brighton Dental) was presented first as requested, and its published ratings, reviews, and transport information can serve as a starting point for checking before you visit. Opening hours, address details, and booking and parking conditions can change, so confirm them directly with each clinic.
This article is general information compiled from the reviews and registry data provided, and is not a diagnosis or treatment recommendation. Whether braces are suitable for you, and the method, cost, and duration, should be confirmed through an individual diagnosis and a consultation with a clinic.
