スマイルアンドトゥース マウスピース矯正「マウスピース矯正ローコスト」の製造・販売

マウスピース矯正ローコスト is a clear aligner (mouthpiece) orthodontic service in Japan. The service is marketed around six stated features: monthly payments from ¥1,760, treatment completion in as little as one month, coverage of a wide range of malocclusions, the ability to begin treatment in as little as two weeks, inclusion of the procedures required for orthodontic treatment in the course price, reduced pain, and treatment carried out with aligners only. Advertised indications include protruding front teeth (upper jaw protrusion), gapped teeth, upper and lower crowded canines, midline deviation, open bite of the front teeth, crossbite and crowding. A plan focused on the teeth visible when smiling is also offered, with the attending doctor proposing a plan based on the patient's dentition.

Treatment follows a defined sequence: counselling reservation, initial counselling, application, handover of the aligners and start of treatment, then completion. Counselling is free at the brand's specialist clinics, while first-visit fees vary by partner clinic. Published case examples include a crowded-dentition case treated over roughly six months on the "Pro Plan" at a total cost of ¥660,000 including tax, and a patient testimonial citing a total of ¥550,000 including tax with IPR and attachments included in the course price. Payment options referenced include dental loan instalments of up to 100 payments by card. The site discloses treatment risks including caries, gingivitis, periodontal disease, black triangles, root resorption, gingival recession, temporary bite disturbance, possible pain, and the requirement to wear the aligner more than 20 hours a day, with retainer use recommended after treatment at additional cost.

The brand publishes a roster of supervising dentists, including Shinichi Ichikawa (PhD in dentistry; part-time lecturer at The Nippon Dental University; vice-chair of the Japanese Society of Anti-Aging Dentistry; director of Ichikawa Dental Clinic, Minato-ku, Tokyo), Nobuya Kitahara (PhD in dentistry; visiting professor at Nihon University School of Dentistry at Matsudo and Showa University School of Dentistry; lecturer at Nihon University School of Dentistry; general director of Nobu Dental Office, Chuo-ku, Tokyo) and Shoichi Tanaka (Invisalign and Aso Aligner certified doctor; director of Ginza Dental White Shinjuku, Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo).
