What It Is

BOSTON矯正歯科 is an orthodontic clinic located in Nishi-Shimbashi, Minato-ku, Tokyo, serving the Shimbashi, Toranomon, Uchisaiwaicho, and Toranomon Hills area. The website emphasizes an “American-style, evidence-based” orthodontic philosophy. Director 長尾紀代子 discloses her dental licenses in both Japan and the United States, orthodontic training at Boston University, experience as a certified member of the American Association of Orthodontists, and a track record of more than 2,600 cases.

Core Services

The clinic offers a fairly comprehensive range of treatments, including Invisalignマウスピース orthodontics, aesthetic wire braces, single-jaw and full-mouth orthodontics, partial correction for front teeth, non-extraction orthodontics, teenage orthodontics, and second opinions for post-treatment relapse, failed treatment elsewhere, or cases rejected by other clinics. Covered case types include protruding teeth, underbite, protrusive mouth profile, gaps between teeth, crowded/canine teeth, open bite, deep bite, and crossbite. The site also highlights improvements related to the E-line, smile line, gummy smile, and adenoid facies.

Pricing

Pricing is relatively transparent. The initial brief consultation is free, while consultations for children under 13 cost 5,500 yen; a detailed examination costs 22,000 yen. Invisalign for both jaws starts at 550,000 yen and can go up to 968,000 yen depending on difficulty; single-jaw treatment with up to 14 aligners is 330,000 yen. Wire braces for both jaws are around 660,000–990,000 yen, and partial orthodontics cost 330,000–440,000 yen. Payment options include cash, credit cards, installment plans, and dental loans of up to 84 installments, with an example interest rate of 4.4%.

Pros and Cons

The main strengths are that the doctor’s credentials, case focus, fee schedule, and location details are all well disclosed, and the clinic offers LINE consultations plus a low-barrier free first visit. It also clearly signals a willingness to treat adults, patients in their 40s and 50s, and more complex cases involving periodontal issues or missing teeth. The downside is that the website has a strong marketing tone; claims such as short treatment times, an ideal facial profile, and world-class standards should be verified through an in-person consultation and diagnosis. Total orthodontic costs are high, and additional fees for retainers, rescans, light-acceleration devices, and similar items should be confirmed in advance.

Who It’s For / Access from China

This clinic is best suited to people who live or work in Tokyo long term, or who can return regularly for follow-up visits—especially patients looking for Invisalign, partial orthodontics, corrective retreatment, or evaluation of difficult cases. The website itself is generally accessible directly from mainland China, but this is an in-person medical service, so actual treatment requires a face-to-face consultation in Tokyo. Chinese-language service is not clearly stated, so it is advisable to confirm in advance whether communication in English or Chinese is available.
