Leading treatments
Invisalign (clear aligners)
Invisalign straightens teeth with a series of removable clear plastic aligners. The clinic says Dr. Lee is Invisalign certified, teaches Invisalign courses for university hospitals and is a 2026 Invisalign Purple Diamond provider; this directory has not checked the tier with Align Technology. The clinic gives typical figures, not promises: comprehensive cases take about 12–24 months (range 6–24), aligners are worn 20–22 hours a day, and check-ins are every 6–10 weeks. No price is published; the clinic gives a written estimate after the first visit.
Angel Aligner (clear aligners)
Angel Aligner is another clear-aligner system. The clinic offers it as an alternative to Invisalign, chosen case by case after 3D planning, with the same 20–22 hours of daily wear. No price is published.
Metal and ceramic braces
Braces move teeth with brackets glued to the front of the teeth: metal brackets, or tooth-colored ceramic brackets that are less visible. The clinic offers both for full or limited treatment and does not name the bracket systems. It gives a typical duration of 18–30 months, with adjustments every 4–8 weeks for metal braces, and says these are typical figures, not promises. It also offers a NovaCare device for orthodontic discomfort. No prices are published.
Lingual braces
Lingual braces are custom brackets bonded behind the teeth, so they are hard to see from the front. The clinic says Dr. Lee is a member of the Korean Society of Lingual Orthodontics, and it gives a typical duration of 18–30 months. No price is published.
Children's and teen orthodontics
Early (Phase 1) orthodontics guides a child's jaw and teeth while they are still growing. The clinic says it uses growth-plate (skeletal maturity) analysis, expanders, partial braces or removable appliances, usually for children aged about 7–10 and for about 6–18 months. It says teen treatment with braces or aligners takes about 18–24 months. The clinic's website says Dr. Hoseon Lee, whom it describes as a pediatric dentist, also assesses children; Dr. Hoseon Lee is not in HIRA's count (see Doctors). No prices are published.
Prices
Isu Yonsei Baro Orthodontics publishes no prices anywhere (checked 28 October 2026). The official website says it does not publish a price list and gives a written, itemized estimate in English after a first visit of about 60 minutes, which includes scans, X-rays, photos and an examination. The clinic's Korean fee notice lists no items, HIRA holds no non-insured fee data for the clinic, and there are no prices on Naver Map or Kakao Map. This listing does not quote market ranges. Ask whether the estimate includes VAT, retainers and follow-up visits.

Doctors
Sally Chaekyung LeeRepresentative director (대표원장), orthodontist
Korea's HIRA registry (Health Insurance Review and Assessment Service) lists 1 dentist at Isu Yonsei Baro Orthodontics, an orthodontics specialist (October 2026). HIRA does not publish names. The clinic names Dr. Sally Chaekyung Lee as its orthodontist, and its business registration names her as the representative:
- Dr. Sally Chaekyung Lee (이채경), representative director, board-certified orthodontist. The clinic says she earned her DDS and a PhD in orthodontics at Yonsei University, completed her orthodontic residency at Severance Hospital, took part in exchange programs at USC and UCLA, and is adjunct faculty (외래교수) at Yonsei University. It says she is a member of the Edward H. Angle Society (Northern California) and the American Association of Orthodontists and a fellow of the World Federation of Orthodontists. The clinic says she treats every orthodontic patient herself, from the first consultation to retention.
The clinic's website also lists Dr. Hoseon Lee (이호선), whom it describes as a pediatric dentistry specialist who sees children for general dental care and early orthodontic assessment. HIRA lists only 1 dentist at the clinic and no pediatric dentistry specialist, so Dr. Hoseon Lee is not in HIRA's count. This listing uses the HIRA count.
