DYM Medical Center Vietnam Co., Ltd. has announced the commencement of Invisalign services at their District 7 clinic in Ho Chi Minh City, starting from July 4, 2024. As a subsidiary of DYM Co., Ltd., a Tokyo-based company involved in various businesses, including web, human resources, and overseas medical services, DYM Medical Center Vietnam is expanding its dental offerings with this modern orthodontic solution.
About Invisalign
Invisalign, a revolutionary orthodontic treatment method initiated in the U.S. in 1997, has been available in Japan since 2006. It is now offered in approximately 100 countries, with about 17 million patients worldwide, 4.5 million of whom are teenagers. Unlike traditional wire braces, Invisalign offers a less noticeable, more convenient option with shorter treatment periods, allowing patients to maintain normal oral hygiene and eat without restrictions.
Advanced Technology at District 7 Clinic
The clinic boasts the latest iTero scanner (iTero Lumina), which is smaller and capable of scanning teeth from children aged 10 and up. Invisalign treatment costs range from VND 90,000,000 (approx. JPY 570,000) to VND 160,000,000 (approx. JPY 1,010,000), depending on the individual dental conditions, which will be discussed during consultations.
Free Consultations and Target Patients
The clinic offers free consultations for those interested in Invisalign. This service is particularly recommended for individuals hesitant about traditional braces, concerned about appearance during treatment, wishing to maintain normal eating and brushing habits, or seeking shorter treatment periods. It is also ideal for those engaged in intense sports or musicians.
Important Considerations
Invisalign is a non-insurance treatment, meaning it is not covered by public health insurance in Japan or Vietnam. The suitability of this treatment depends on the patient's dental condition, which should be assessed by the clinic's dental professionals. After a free consultation, if treatment is pursued, there will be a fee of VND 10,000,000 (approx. JPY 60,000) for creating a treatment plan.
About the Dentist
Dr. Eriko Hirayama, a graduate of Kyushu University with 30 years of general dental practice and 10 years of implant experience, leads the dental team. She holds certification in Invisalign treatment and a Vietnamese dental license. Since 2008, Dr. Hirayama has been active in dental health and cavity prevention volunteer work for children in Vietnam and Cambodia.
