Our Approach
We check first, and explain fully.
MODNI looks at the shape and balance of your face, how your jaw moves and the discomfort you feel now, all together. Rather than rushing to change something, care begins with being clear about what needs to be checked first.
- 01
Observe
We look at the face at rest, the jaw in motion and the discomfort you feel now, together.
- 02
Record
When needed for your care, your initial state is recorded and used as the baseline for what follows.
- 03
Compare
Later progress is checked again from the same perspective and under the same conditions.
Facial Asymmetry
Left–right differences in the face, examined down to movement.
The cause of left–right differences in the face is hard to determine from surface shape alone. MODNI records the shape of the face and also looks at how the jaw joint moves and at any functional discomfort.
Concerns we look at
- Your facial outline looks different in each photo
- One side of your jawline or mouth corner bothers you
- You tend to chew on one side or rest your chin on your hand
TMJ Care
Jaw discomfort, examined through the way the jaw moves.
Sounds when opening the mouth, pain in front of the ear, discomfort when chewing and limited mouth opening cannot be assumed to share the same cause. We check your current symptoms and jaw movement together.
Concerns we look at
- Your jaw makes a sound when you open your mouth
- Your mouth opens with a shift to one side
- Opening your mouth is uncomfortable or the jaw area feels stiff
MODNI Method
We look at records and examination together.
When needed, we record the surface shape of the face in three dimensions and assess jaw movement and surrounding function together. A 3D facial surface record is not a test that directly shows the internal bone structure or the disc of the jaw joint. Director Oh Kyung-seok, KMD, brings together the examination findings and the records and explains them to you.
- STEP 01
Understanding your concerns
We first listen to your symptoms, when they started and your daily habits.
- STEP 02
Recording your state
We make the records needed for your area of care. A 3D facial surface record is included by default in the first visit for facial asymmetry.
- STEP 03
Function assessment
We check the range and path of opening and closing the mouth, and tension around the jaw, neck and shoulders.
- STEP 04
Explanation by the director
The director personally explains what was found, what should be looked at first, the possible methods of care and their limits.
- STEP 05
Checking progress
At follow-up visits we look at changes again against the same baseline as the initial record.
FACE SURFACE RECORD / FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT
The two records check different things.
- 3D FACE RECORD3D facial surface record
- What it checksThe three-dimensional shape of the facial surface, and differences in left–right contour and heightWhat it does not checkThe condition of the internal bone structure and the disc of the jaw joint. It is used when needed, such as at the first visit for facial asymmetry.
- FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENTTMJ function assessment
- What it checksThe range and path of opening and closing the mouth, joint sounds, and tension in the muscles around the jaw, neck and shouldersWhat it does not checkThe internal structure of the joint. If it seems that another specialty should also be consulted, we will tell you so.
Everyday Care
Everyday pain, examined with care.
From stiffness in the neck and shoulders to discomfort in the lower back. We check the situation in which the pain began and how you move, and explain the care that may be needed.
- 01Neck, Shoulder & Back PainWe check the situation in which the pain began, how you move and your working posture together.
- 02Posture Care & Chuna TherapyA Korean medicine manual therapy in which the Korean medicine doctor examines the spine, joints and muscles by hand; whether it is suitable is decided after the examination.
- 03Traffic Accident CareWe examine the pain and discomfort that have appeared since the accident and explain the course of care.
Personalized Care
Care suited to your condition and goals.
B
Not only your weight, but your lifestyle and health.
After checking your body composition, eating, sleep and activity patterns, the medications you take and your state of health, we consider whether herbal medicine for weight management is suitable for you.
Weight managementDoctor's Principle
From the first assessment through later progress.
Director Oh Kyung-seok, KMD, personally handles the initial assessment and explanation, setting the treatment plan, any treatment needed and checking progress. He checks your current condition and explains the scope of care you need.
