Key Takeaways
If you are a foreign patient planning a visit in Seocho-gu, be aware that language support varies from clinic to clinic: some may have staff who can help in English, many do not, and the source data behind this comparison does not list language capabilities for any of the five clinics. Call ahead or check the clinic's own website or booking page to confirm whether an English-speaking dentist or coordinator is available for your appointment. Bring your passport or ARC, any previous dental records or X-rays, and a list of medications, and ask about the consultation fee and cancellation policy when you book.
Looking at review counts together with public ratings, 티유치과의원 (Tiyu Dental Clinic) and 서울양치과의원 양재 (Seoul Yang Dental Clinic Yangjae) are the two worth comparing first. 티유치과의원 has a Kakao Map rating of 4.9 with 3,000 Kakao reviews and 2,444 Naver reviews. 서울양치과의원 양재 holds a 5.0 rating on both Kakao and Google, with 438 Naver reviews and 649 Kakao reviews. Ratings and review counts alone, however, cannot tell you how orthodontic treatment will turn out or whether a clinic is right for you.
The five clinics selected for this comparison average 4.7 on Kakao Map. If you are looking for an orthodontic clinic in Seocho-gu, confirm directly with each clinic whether it provides orthodontic treatment, what the treatment plan would involve, retainer costs and visit scheduling, then compare. The review counts below are the figures shown on each platform; overlap between platforms has not been verified.
How We Analyzed the Data
This comparison is based on scraped data covering 4,807 Naver Place visitor reviews, 5,344 Kakao Map reviews and registration records from the Health Insurance Review & Assessment Service (HIRA). Figures for each clinic are listed by platform: Naver, blog, Kakao and Google reviews. The "total reviews" figure is a simple sum across platforms and may include duplicates, so it does not represent unique visitors. The number of dental specialists registered with HIRA is recorded as "no information" for all five clinics in the provided data, so we did not fill it in arbitrarily. Some platform ratings or addresses were missing from the data and are marked "not provided" or "not listed."
이수연세바로치과교정과의원 (Isu Yonsei Baro Orthodontic Clinic)
Provided figures: 72 Naver reviews, 63 blog reviews and 4 Kakao reviews, with Google reviews listed as 0. The only rating available is Google at 5.0; Naver and Kakao ratings were not provided. The HIRA dental specialist count is listed as no information. Reviews include experiences with orthodontic consultations for children, clear explanations of treatment, and kind staff. These are individual visitors' accounts and do not guarantee the same experience or outcome for every patient.
"I came for a consultation with the orthodontic specialist. Thankfully the dentist told me it is not the right time yet, which was a relief. Thanks to the kind doctor, my child was not scared at all during the visit." (횬꾜, November 7, 2026)
"We visited for orthodontic treatment for my siblings, aged 11 and 9. The young, kind dentist was thorough and quick, so both children got through the visit bravely. The location is right in front of Isu Station (이수역), easy to find, and it is an orthodontic clinic, so I felt I could trust it." (son****, November 10, 2026)
The address is 서울 서초구 동작대로 118, 4층 401·402·403호 (118 Dongjak-daero, 4th floor, rooms 401–403, Seocho-gu, Seoul). It is listed as 42 m from Exit 2 of Chongshin University (Isu) Station. Hours are Monday and Thursday 13:00–21:00, Tuesday and Friday 10:00–19:00, and Saturday 09:00–14:00. No lunch break is listed in the provided hours, so confirm when you book. Phone: 0507-1398-2081. Blog: 네이버 블로그, blog.naver.com/baro_isu. Amenities and parking information are not included in the provided data.
If you are considering an orthodontic consultation for a child, ask whether treatment is needed now and, if the plan is to wait and monitor, when the next check-up should be. Some reviews describe being told it was not yet the right time. Treatment type, cost, expected duration and retainer costs must be confirmed in an individual consultation; this clinic's specific appliance and pricing details are not in the source data.
서울양치과의원 양재 (Seoul Yang Dental Clinic Yangjae)
438 Naver reviews, 1,713 blog reviews, 649 Kakao reviews, with Google reviews listed as 0. Kakao and Google ratings are 5.0 each. The HIRA dental specialist count is listed as no information. Provided reviews mention that explanations were sufficient and that care was kind and thorough. Reviews alone cannot tell you about orthodontic outcomes or the character of every visit.
"After booking, the wait was under 10 minutes. Kind, and they explain things well." (Yang si hoon, November 3, 2026)
"They explained the situation kindly and reassured me, so I was able to receive treatment calmly. Not only the dentist but all the staff were kind." (별하4514, October 12, 2026)
The address data lists only "서울양치과의원 양재," so the full street address could not be confirmed. It is listed as 44 m from Exit 5 of Yangjae Station (양재역). Hours are Monday, Tuesday and Friday 10:00–18:30, Wednesday 10:00–20:30, and Saturday 09:30–14:00. Lunch hours are not in the data, so calling is more accurate. Phone: 02-2057-2875. Listed amenities include Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms, reservations, a waiting area, simple payment and parking. Website: seoulyang.com.
If you are visiting for orthodontics, first confirm whether the clinic provides orthodontic treatment, who will be in charge of your care, what examinations are involved and what the treatment plan is. Provided reviews mention explanations and staff manner, but the specific orthodontic approach, costs and duration are not confirmed. When booking, also ask about available times for an orthodontic consultation and the conditions for using parking so you can plan your visit.
더뉴치과의원 (The New Dental Clinic)
759 Naver reviews, 1,925 blog reviews, 85 Kakao reviews, with Google reviews listed as 0. Kakao rating 4.4, Google rating 4.9. The HIRA dental specialist count is listed as no information. Provided reviews include comments about detailed explanations and one experience of tooth extraction for orthodontics. Some reviews concern implants, prosthetics or fillings, so the overall review count does not equal the number of orthodontic reviews.
"I had a tooth extracted for orthodontic treatment and it was done cleanly. Thank you." (별을기다려요65, November 7, 2026)
"It is a two-hour trip from home, but I trust this clinic more than the one near my house, and they are kind. I have been going for four years. I really like the detailed explanations of treatment." (누디46, November 7, 2026)
The address is 서울 서초구 강남대로 567 (567 Gangnam-daero, Seocho-gu, Seoul), a standalone building; the data lists prosthetics on the 1st floor and orthodontics on the 2nd floor. It is 145 m from Exit 8 of Nonhyeon Station (논현역). Hours are Monday and Wednesday 10:00–21:00, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday 10:00–19:00, and Saturday 09:30–14:30. Lunch hours are not in the public data and need confirmation. Phone: 0507-1400-2884. Reservations, parking, Wi-Fi and a waiting area are listed as amenities. Website: thenewdent.com.
Because the data lists an orthodontics department on the 2nd floor, this clinic can be considered a candidate for an orthodontic consultation, but specific appliance types and costs are not provided. In the consultation, ask about the basis for the treatment plan, including whether extraction is needed, the expected duration and visit interval, and retainer costs. Since the address is a standalone building, first-time visitors should ask about the entrance and parking availability when booking.
서울탑치과병원 (Seoul Top Dental Hospital)
1,094 Naver reviews and 1,606 Kakao reviews were provided; blog reviews and Google reviews are each listed as 0. Kakao rating 4.6, Google rating 4.4. The HIRA dental specialist count is listed as no information. Reviews include orthodontic experiences alongside other treatments such as implants, so not all reviews should be read as orthodontic patient reviews.
"I had laminates and orthodontic treatment at the same time; the space is comfortable and I could trust the staff's expertise." (hxcl****, November 6, 2026)
"What I noticed while having orthodontic treatment is that the space itself feels warm and comfortable, and the staff's expertise was reassuring." (tovt****, November 6, 2026)
No detailed address is provided; it is listed as 266 m from Exit 6 of Nambu Bus Terminal Station (남부터미널역). Hours are Monday 09:30–18:30, Tuesday 10:00–20:00, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday 09:30–18:30, and Saturday 09:30–14:00. Lunch hours are not listed in the data. Phone: 02-588-2833. Amenities include reservations, Wi-Fi, separate men's and women's restrooms and parking. Website: topimplant.co.kr.
When booking an orthodontic consultation, confirm who handles orthodontic treatment, what consultation times are available, and what the examination and diagnostic process involves. Reviews include a case where orthodontics and laminate treatment were combined, but suitability differs from person to person. If you are considering orthodontics together with other treatment, it is practical to ask how the treatment order and costs are calculated separately.
티유치과의원 (Tiyu Dental Clinic)
2,444 Naver reviews and 3,000 Kakao reviews were provided; blog reviews and Google reviews are each listed as 0. Kakao rating 4.9, Google rating 4.8. The HIRA dental specialist count is listed as no information. It has the highest Kakao review count among the five, but review volume alone cannot establish the quality or outcome of orthodontic care. Reviews include praise for kind, thorough care alongside an opinion that explanations during consultation were lacking, so it is worth confirming the explanations you need yourself.
"Thanks to the detailed explanation and thorough care, I was satisfied with my treatment. All the staff were kind and the wait was short." (ShineS2Love, October 30, 2026)
"They did not properly explain the reason for treatment or the reasons it might not be necessary. Even when I asked questions, it was hard to get enough information." (눈물이줄줄, November 2, 2026)
The address is 서울 서초구 서초대로77길 54, 서초 더블유타워 12·13층 (54 Seocho-daero 77-gil, Seocho W Tower, floors 12–13, Seocho-gu, Seoul). It is listed as 116 m from Exit 7 of Sinnonhyeon Station (신논현역). Hours are Monday to Friday 10:00–20:00, and Saturday and Sunday 10:00–17:00. Lunch hours are not in the provided data and need confirmation. Phone: 02-598-8896. Reservations, parking, Wi-Fi and separate men's and women's restrooms are listed as amenities. Website: tudentalclinic.com.
Reviews do not confirm specific appliances or details of orthodontic treatment, so start by asking whether orthodontic treatment is available. In the consultation, ask about the basis for the diagnosis, why a particular method is recommended, what alternatives exist, the expected duration and the total cost, and check that you understood the answers. Since reviews describe quite different experiences with explanations, make sure you get the information you need before deciding.

Checklist for Choosing an Orthodontic Clinic
- Whether orthodontic treatment is offered — Before booking, confirm that the clinic provides orthodontic consultations and treatment.
- Diagnostic basis and treatment goals — Ask what examinations and findings the treatment plan is based on.
- Treatment methods and options — Check whether alternatives to the proposed method exist and how they differ.
- Treatment duration and visit intervals — Get the expected duration and regular visit intervals explained in line with your own schedule.
- Total cost range — Confirm whether examinations, appliances, adjustments and retainers are each included.
- Retainer costs — Ask whether retainers are billed separately and whether replacement or extra maintenance costs apply.
- Additional treatment such as extractions — Confirm whether extractions or other treatment are part of the plan, and why.
- Who treats you and consultation time — Check who provides care during consultation and treatment, and whether you will have enough time to ask questions.
- Booking, parking and opening hours — Check evening and weekend hours, lunch breaks, parking conditions and how to change an appointment.
Warning Signs to Watch For
The following are general situations that call for extra questions during an orthodontic consultation, not judgments about any specific clinic.
- A treatment method is proposed without explaining the diagnostic basis or why it was chosen.
- You ask about expected duration, costs or retainer fees, but are not told how to confirm them specifically.
- You are rushed into a decision without enough time to ask questions or review the plan.
- The treatment plan and cost information are not clearly set out in writing or in an explanation.
If your questions are not resolved, ask again, and if needed, seek a consultation elsewhere and compare.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which orthodontic clinic in Seocho-gu has the most reviews?
In the platform figures provided, 티유치과의원 has 3,000 Kakao reviews and 2,444 Naver reviews. These are per-platform counts; overlap between platforms, and how many of those reviews concern orthodontics specifically, has not been verified.
Can I get an orthodontic consultation in English at a clinic in Seocho-gu?
The source data used for this comparison does not include language capabilities for any of the five clinics, so we cannot confirm that any of them has English-speaking staff or an international patient desk. Call the clinic directly using the phone numbers listed above, or check its website or booking page, and ask whether an English-speaking dentist or coordinator is available for an orthodontic consultation; if not, ask whether a translator or a written treatment plan in English can be arranged.
How much does orthodontic treatment cost?
The 2026 reference prices provided are 3.5–6 million KRW for metal braces, 5–8 million KRW for ceramic braces, 8–15 million KRW for lingual braces, and 4–9 million KRW for clear aligners. These are reference ranges only; actual costs depend on the clinic and your individual treatment plan.
How long does orthodontic treatment usually take?
The reference information provided says 18–30 months on average. This varies with your individual treatment plan and condition, so confirm the expected duration and visit intervals at your consultation.
Are retainers included in the orthodontic fee?
Reference information indicates that retainers are often billed separately. At your consultation, confirm whether the orthodontic appliance fee and the retainer fee are each included, and how much the retainer costs if it is separate.
Where can I check how many dental specialists each clinic has?
In the HIRA registration data included in this comparison, all five clinics are listed as "no information" for the number of dental specialists. We did not estimate unverified figures, so you need to ask the clinic directly or check the relevant registration records yourself.
Final Thoughts
When choosing an orthodontic clinic in Seocho-gu, use review counts and ratings as a starting point, but compare the diagnostic basis, treatment options, duration, total cost and retainer costs at an actual consultation. This article summarizes publicly available information and visitor reviews; it is not medical diagnosis or a recommendation for treatment. Whether and how to treat should be decided individually in consultation with a clinician. Addresses, hours and amenities can change, so please confirm with the clinic before you visit — and if having an English-speaking dentist matters to you, treat that as a separate item to verify by phone before booking.
