English-Speaking Orthodontist in Bangbae, Seoul
Quick answer
Isu Yonsei Baro Orthodontics is in Bangbae itself, on the 4th floor of Bangbae Yedain Plaza by Isu Station Exit 2.

Bangbae: a residential neighborhood in Seocho-gu
Bangbae-dong is a largely residential area in western Seocho-gu, bordered by Umyeonsan mountain, Seorae Village and the Sadang and Isu transit hubs. It has a mix of apartment complexes, villas, schools and local shopping streets, and many families choose it for its quiet streets and easy access to Gangnam and central Seoul.
The clinic's building, Bangbae Yedain Plaza, is on the Bangbae side of Isu Station, so for many local residents this is a neighborhood clinic rather than a trip across town.

What to expect at Isu Yonsei Baro
The first visit takes about 60 minutes. The team records digital intraoral scans, X-rays or a 3D CBCT scan with the RAY Quantum 5D CT, facial scans with the RAY Face 3D scanner, and photos. Dr. Sally Chaekyung Lee examines teeth, bite and jaw, then explains findings, options and a typical timeline in English, with a written estimate.
For children and teens, the clinic uses a growth-plate and skeletal maturity analysis program to help judge whether growth can be used in treatment. A pediatric dentistry specialist, Dr. Hoseon Lee, also practices at the clinic.
In Dr. Lee's practice, parents are often told at a first child visit that the right step is monitoring rather than starting treatment immediately, because timing depends on growth and which teeth have come in. Individual results and side effects vary; treatment is decided after examination.
Treatment options
Options include Invisalign, Angel Aligner, metal, ceramic and lingual braces, adult and re-treatment cases, and minimal-prep veneers. Most comprehensive orthodontic cases typically take roughly 12–30 months.
English support
Consultations are held in English by Dr. Lee. On request, the clinic provides English receipts, itemized statements, medical certificates and records for families who later move abroad.
