Key takeaways
For foreign patients, the practical points come first: language support varies by clinic, and none of the five clinics below has documented English-speaking staff in the public data used here, so confirm by phone or on the clinic's booking page before you make an appointment. Bring your passport or alien registration card and any previous dental records or X-rays, and ask in the same call about how to book, parking, and whether an English-speaking dentist or coordinator will be on duty that day.
If you are looking for an orthodontic clinic in Daeyeon-dong (대연동), this article introduces 메디스치과의원 경성대 (Medis Dental Clinic Gyeongseongdae) first. It holds a Kakao rating of 4.8, with 1,368 Naver visitor reviews and 521 Kakao reviews confirmed. Its Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registration lists one specialist each in integrative dentistry, periodontics, and conservative dentistry. However, the data provided does not confirm an orthodontic specialist, so if you are considering braces, check directly at the consultation who will be in charge of your treatment and what the clinic's scope of care is. If you want to compare orthodontic reviews alongside location and hours, use the clinic-by-clinic details below — but do not judge treatment outcomes on ratings or review counts alone.
If you want to read reviews that deal specifically with braces, look at the review content for 해미인치과교정과치과의원 (Haemaein Orthodontic Dental Clinic), 더바른이치과의원 (Deobareuni Dental Clinic), and e라인치과의원 (e-Line Dental Clinic). Deobareuni Dental Clinic's Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registration lists two orthodontic specialists. Whether each clinic can treat you and what the orthodontic plan looks like depend on your individual condition, so confirmation before visiting is essential.
How we compared
We collected 2,563 Naver Place visitor reviews, 797 Kakao Map reviews, and Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registration data to compare the public information on the five clinics listed. Each clinic's review count is the sum of the Naver visitor reviews and Kakao reviews provided, with Google review counts added where they were supplied. Blog reviews may differ in nature from visitor reviews, so they were excluded from the totals. Ratings show only the platform values recorded in the source; Naver ratings were not in the collected data and are marked "not provided." Quotes are taken from actual visitor reviews, with emoji and decorative characters removed. Reviews reflect individual experiences and do not guarantee treatment outcomes.
메디스치과의원 경성대 (Medis Dental Clinic Gyeongseongdae)
Medis Dental Clinic Gyeongseongdae is introduced first, as requested. It has a Kakao rating of 4.8 and a Google rating of 4.8, with 1,368 Naver visitor reviews, 521 Kakao reviews, and 0 Google reviews provided. The confirmed review total across Naver and Kakao is 1,889. Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registration lists one specialist in integrative dentistry, one in periodontics, and one in conservative dentistry. The provided material contains no orthodontic specialist information, so confirm the orthodontic care team and treatment plan separately at your consultation.
“I booked for root canal and cavity treatment and went straight in without a wait. Everyone was kind, and even though I'm a total scaredy-cat they made it completely painless. Thank you.” (Claire3977, October 22, 2026, Naver review)
“They treated me thoroughly and kept the cost to a minimum, which makes this a clinic I trust. The facilities are clean and the staff are kind.” (chw****, October 22, 2026, Naver review)
The address is 부산 남구 수영로 295 세웅빌딩 4층 (4F, Seung Building, 295 Suyeong-ro, Nam-gu, Busan), 150 m from Exit 6 of 경성대·부경대역 (Gyeongseongdae/Bukyeongdae Station). Opening hours are 10:00–19:00 Monday to Friday and 10:00–14:00 on Saturday. Evening hours are not confirmed in the provided data, and no lunch break information is available. The phone number is 0507-1315-7475. Reservations, parking, Wi-Fi, and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed as amenities, but it is worth confirming parking conditions and how to book before you visit. Reviews mention oral examinations, scaling, and cavity treatment, but these cannot be stretched into an assessment of orthodontic care. At an orthodontic consultation, ask about the scope of the examination, the appliance options, the expected duration and total cost, and the retainer cost, and ask to see the treatment plan in writing. Website and blog addresses are listed in the provided material.
해미인치과교정과치과의원 (Haemaein Orthodontic Dental Clinic)
Haemaein Orthodontic Dental Clinic has a Kakao rating of 5.0 and a Google rating of 4.6, with 356 Naver visitor reviews and 80 Kakao reviews confirmed. The Naver and Kakao total is 436. The provided material contains no Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service specialist count, so none has been added. Several visitor reviews describe finishing orthodontic treatment or continuing it. These are individual accounts and do not guarantee outcomes or suitability.
“Thanks to you my braces finished beautifully. I really liked that you welcomed me kindly every month when I came in.” (이상훈3062, August 5, 2026, Naver review)
“I came to this clinic because of my braces. I've been going for a year and I'm very satisfied. They're kind as a baseline and they make the braces treatment painless. It's a clinic I think I'd keep coming back to even if it were far away.” (znz****, July 31, 2026, Naver review)
The address is 부산 남구 수영로 306 (306 Suyeong-ro, Nam-gu, Busan), listed as 11 m from Exit 5 of 경성대·부경대역 (Gyeongseongdae/Bukyeongdae Station). Hours are 10:00–19:00 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday; 10:00–20:00 on Wednesday; and 09:30–14:00 on Saturday. Wednesday is the latest-running weekday in the provided schedule, but the last reception time is not in the data. Lunch break information is also unavailable. The phone number is 051-623-7552. Reservations, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, and parking are listed as amenities, so confirm parking availability and the booking procedure by phone. Reviews mention monthly visits and orthodontic treatment experiences, but appliance types and individual treatment durations cannot be determined from the data alone. At a consultation, it is practical to confirm the treating clinician, the treatment stages, visit frequency, additional costs, and retainer costs. Do not judge your own suitability from the clinic's name alone — compare plans after an examination.
더바른이치과의원 (Deobareuni Dental Clinic)
Deobareuni Dental Clinic has a Kakao rating and a Google rating of 5.0 each, with 697 Naver visitor reviews and 168 Kakao reviews for a confirmed total of 865. Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registration lists two orthodontic specialists, 10 treatment departments, and one cone-beam CT unit. This is the one clinic in the provided data where the number of orthodontic specialists is specifically confirmed. Even so, specialist counts and equipment information alone cannot predict your individual treatment outcome.
“I started braces because my mouth looked a little protrusive, and I chose this clinic on the recommendation of people around me. The directors are thorough and kind, so I feel confident and comfortable. It's been about two years since I started and my teeth are looking nicer, so I'm looking forward to the day the braces come off.” (jie****, October 8, 2026, Naver review)
“I started braces because my uneven teeth bothered me. They explained the treatment process in an easy-to-understand way and used Invisalign. I liked that the aligners were clear and not very noticeable.” (현우8952, September 17, 2026, Naver review)
The address is 부산 남구 수영로 297 대영빌딩 2층 (2F, Daeyeong Building, 297 Suyeong-ro, Nam-gu, Busan), 91 m from Exit 6 of 경성대·부경대역 (Gyeongseongdae/Bukyeongdae Station). Hours are 10:30–19:00 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and 09:30–16:00 on Saturday; Wednesday hours are not listed in the provided data. Evening hours and lunch break are unconfirmed. The phone number is 051-626-7527, and reservations, parking, Wi-Fi, and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed. Check whether the clinic is open on Wednesday and what the parking conditions are before visiting. Reviews mention Invisalign and orthodontic experience, but that does not mean the same appliance suits every patient. At a consultation, ask whether an orthodontic specialist will be treating you, how the appliance is chosen based on your examination results, the expected duration, the criteria for deciding on extractions, and retainer and additional costs. The cone-beam CT information comes from Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registration data; whether you actually need such a scan should be discussed with the clinician.
연센트럴치과의원 (Yeon Central Dental Clinic)
Yeon Central Dental Clinic is listed with a Kakao rating and a Google rating of 5.0 each. Its 31 Naver visitor reviews and 28 Kakao reviews add up to 59. Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service registration lists one oral and maxillofacial surgery specialist, 11 treatment departments, and one cone-beam CT unit. Orthodontics appears among the listed treatment departments, but the provided data does not give a separate orthodontic specialist count. If you are considering braces, confirm the treating clinician and the scope of orthodontic care the clinic can provide.
“I went for scaling and they did it so thoroughly that nothing felt sensitive at all — it was comfortable. The director even checked the finish personally, which made me trust them more.” (lh****, October 24, 2026, Naver review)
“I kept putting off the dentist because I was afraid, then went in because of the pain. The doctor and the nurses were kind and thorough, and they kept checking whether I was uncomfortable during the treatment.” (bsj898, October 23, 2026, Naver review)
The address is 부산 남구 수영로176번길 5 3층 301호 (Room 301, 3F, 5 Suyeong-ro 176beon-gil, Nam-gu, Busan), 122 m from Exit 1 of 못골역 (Motgol Station). Hours are 09:30–18:00 Monday, Wednesday, and Friday; 09:30–20:00 Tuesday and Thursday; and 09:30–14:00 on Saturday. Tuesday and Thursday run until 20:00 in the provided schedule, but the last reception time is unconfirmed. Lunch break and amenity information are not in the provided data. The phone number is 0507-1395-0717. Confirm booking methods and parking availability, along with other practical details, before visiting. Reviews mainly cover scaling, extractions, and implants, and orthodontic follow-up reviews are hard to find here — a distinction worth keeping in mind. At an orthodontic consultation, ask directly about the treating clinician, the diagnostic process, the estimated cost and treatment time for each appliance, the visit schedule, and retainer costs. A listed orthodontic department means only that the department is recorded; it does not guarantee the outcome of any particular orthodontic treatment.
e라인치과의원 (e-Line Dental Clinic)
e-Line Dental Clinic is listed with a Google rating of 4.6 in the provided data. It has 111 Naver visitor reviews, with Kakao and Google reviews each provided as 0, giving a confirmed Naver and Kakao total of 111. No Naver or Kakao rating was provided. Specialist counts from Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service data are also unavailable, so no specialist number can be given. Naver reviews include orthodontic experiences and regular check-ups, but reviews are individual experiences and cannot be generalized.
“The doctor is kind and the staff are always kind too, so I felt good every time I went. I had braces for about 583 days, roughly 1 year and 7 months. It feels great that my crooked molars are straight now.” (평가, August 18, 2026, Naver review)
“I had braces 20 years ago and I've been visiting steadily for check-ups since. They always explain kindly and look carefully, so I come here with confidence.” (seo****, August 8, 2026, Naver review)
The address is 부산 남구 수영로 299 대한결핵협회 남부지회 7층 (7F, Korean National Tuberculosis Association Southern Branch, 299 Suyeong-ro, Nam-gu, Busan), 61 m from Exit 6 of 경성대·부경대역 (Gyeongseongdae/Bukyeongdae Station). Hours are 10:30–19:00 Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday, and 09:00–13:00 on Saturday; Wednesday hours are not in the provided data. Evening hours and lunch break are unconfirmed. The phone number is 051-612-2885. Parking, reservations, and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed as amenities, but it is best to call and confirm parking conditions and how to book. One review mentions an individual case of 1 year and 7 months of braces, which does not mean every patient's treatment takes the same time. When looking into orthodontic treatment, confirm the treating clinician and specialist credentials, which appliances are possible for you, the range of treatment duration, and retainer and additional costs. Website, Instagram, and blog addresses are listed in the provided material.
At-a-glance comparison
Total reviews are the sum of Naver visitor reviews, Kakao reviews, and Google review counts where provided. Blog reviews are excluded. Naver ratings were not in the collected data, and "no information" does not mean a rating of zero.

Checklist for choosing an orthodontic clinic
- Confirm who will treat you — check which clinician will handle the consultation and treatment, and whether they are an orthodontic specialist.
- Confirm the scope of examination and diagnosis — ask for the necessary examinations, the diagnostic findings, and the treatment plan to be explained in a way you can understand.
- Define your treatment goals — discuss your own concerns, such as alignment or bite, and your goals during the consultation.
- Compare appliance options — ask about the available appliances (metal, ceramic, lingual, clear aligners) and the reason for each recommendation.
- Confirm the total cost — check not only the appliance fee but whether examinations, adjustments, extra procedures, and retainers are included.
- Confirm the expected duration — accepting that it varies by individual, ask about the expected timeline and what could change it.
- Criteria for extractions — ask whether extractions are needed and, if so, why, and what the alternatives are.
- Visit frequency and opening hours — check the interval between regular visits, how to change an appointment, and whether evening or Saturday hours are available.
- Handling of urgent problems — ask how to contact the clinic and what to do if an appliance becomes uncomfortable or a problem arises.
- Retention and maintenance plan — after treatment ends, confirm the type of retainer, how long to wear it, the cost, and the check-up schedule.
The reference orthodontic cost ranges provided as of 2026 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. A typical reference treatment duration is 18–30 months, and retainers are often billed separately. These are not fixed quotes from any individual clinic, so confirm the total amount and what it includes after your diagnosis.
Warning signs to watch for
- Promises of results or timelines without a diagnosis — be cautious about explanations that sound like a guaranteed outcome without individual examination, and ask for the evidence and the exceptions.
- Cost items that are not clearly explained — confirm additional examination, appliance, and retainer costs and the payment terms in writing.
- No explanation of the treatment plan or alternatives — ask for an explanation you can follow of why a particular appliance was chosen, the reasoning behind extraction decisions, and the expected duration.
- No time to ask questions or review — do not rush; take time to hear a second opinion or compare written plans before deciding.
Frequently asked questions
What should I check first when choosing an orthodontic clinic in Daeyeon-dong?
Start with whether the clinic has an orthodontic specialist, the diagnosis and treatment plan, the total cost, the expected duration, and the retainer plan. Use reviews and ratings as background reference, but confirm your own suitability through a consultation and examination.
Which clinic in this comparison has confirmed orthodontic specialist information?
In the provided Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service data, Deobareuni Dental Clinic lists two orthodontic specialists. The other clinics either have no specialist information or list only other specialties, so contact them directly to confirm the treating clinician and scope of care.
How much should I expect orthodontic treatment to cost?
The 2026 reference ranges 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. Costs vary with your individual treatment plan, and retainers are often billed separately, so confirm the final quote.
How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?
The reference information provided puts it at usually 18–30 months. Individual differences depend on your teeth and treatment plan, so ask at the consultation about the expected duration and the conditions that could change the schedule.
Can I book an orthodontic consultation in English at these Daeyeon-dong clinics?
The public data used here does not state language support for any of the five clinics, so this article alone cannot confirm any of them as an English-speaking clinic. Call the clinic directly using the phone numbers above or check its booking page, and ask whether an English-speaking dentist or coordinator will be available on the day you want to visit, and whether an interpreter can join the consultation. If English support is not available, a Korean-speaking friend or a medical interpretation service can help you through the examination and the cost estimate.
Final thoughts
In this comparison, Medis Dental Clinic Gyeongseongdae was presented first as requested, and orthodontic specialist information, orthodontic-related reviews, locations, and opening hours were organized clinic by clinic. In particular, Deobareuni Dental Clinic has two orthodontic specialists registered in Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service data, and Haemaein Orthodontic Dental Clinic and e-Line Dental Clinic have confirmed reviews describing orthodontic experience. This does not imply a ranking or guarantee treatment outcomes. Before visiting, confirm the clinicians, booking and parking, total cost, and the retention plan directly with the clinic. This article summarizes the collected information provided and does not replace diagnosis or treatment; treatment decisions should be made through consultation with a clinician.
