Invisalign in Gangnam Seoul
Straighten your teeth with clear, removable aligners — planned by Dr. Eung-Soo Kim, an ABO Diplomate orthodontist and certified Invisalign provider.
In short: Invisalign is a clear aligner system: a series of custom plastic trays that move your teeth a little at a time. It suits many teens and adults with crowding, gaps or mild to moderate bite problems. You wear the trays 20–22 hours a day, change them every one to two weeks, and finish with a retainer.

Understanding Invisalign
How does Invisalign work?
Your orthodontist designs a digital plan of every tooth movement. Trays are made from that plan, and each set moves the teeth slightly.
With 1:1 orthodontic care, Dr. Eung-Soo Kim oversees your plan from first scan to retainer.
When braces may be better
Some movements are harder with aligners alone.
- Severe rotations or jaw problems
- If trays can't be worn 20–22 hours a day

Living with aligners
Getting a good Invisalign result
These habits matter most:
- Wear trays 20–22 hours a day
- Brush before putting trays back in
- Clean trays with cool water — hot water can warp them
- Keep trays in their case when out
- Wear your retainer as instructed
Questions patients ask us
Invisalign FAQ
Is Invisalign as effective as braces?
For many mild to moderate cases, yes — if trays are worn as instructed. Some complex movements are better with braces; Dr. Kim will tell you which suits you.
How long does Invisalign take?
Mild cases can take several months; more complex cases often a year or longer.
Is your orthodontist a certified Invisalign provider?
Yes. Dr. Eung-Soo Kim is a certified Invisalign provider and a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics.
Does Invisalign hurt?
Most people feel pressure for a day or two with each new set, which settles quickly.
How much does Invisalign cost in Gangnam?
Cost depends on your diagnosis, the materials and the number of teeth or visits involved. After your examination we give you a written, itemised quote in English before any treatment begins.
