Mitsukyo Ekimae Smile Dental Clinic Director Shuichi Hida Appointed President of the Japan Society of Pediatric Orthodontics National Conference (Tokyo)

Shuichi Hida, Director of Mitsukyo Ekimae Smile Dental Clinic (Seya Ward, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture), has been appointed President of the "5th Japan Society of Pediatric Orthodontics National Conference," to be held on Sunday, June 21, 2026, in Nihonbashi, Tokyo, in his capacity as an instructor of the Japan Society of Pediatric Orthodontics. This national conference is an academic event exclusively for members of the society and staff of member clinics, bringing together dentists and dental hygienists from across the country to discuss pediatric orthodontics and oral function development. It serves as a platform for sharing the latest knowledge directly applicable to clinical practice and for deepening practical discussions. As the conference president, Dr. Hida will carry forward the society's philosophy that "pediatric orthodontics is not merely a treatment to align teeth, but a medical practice that supports growth and development, oral function, and the foundation of lifelong health." He will play a role in connecting this philosophy to the next generation and contributing to the development of higher quality pediatric orthodontic care. As an initiative to give back the specialized knowledge gained through such academic activities to local patients, Mitsukyo Ekimae Smile Dental Clinic regularly holds "Dental Alignment and Orthodontic Consultation Sessions for Adults and Children." The next sessions will be held over two days, Saturday, April 11, 2026, and Saturday, April 25, 2026, targeting individuals aged 6 and above, up to adults. On the day of the consultation, based on the content of the pre-interview, we will provide clear and thorough explanations from a professional standpoint regarding topics such as: ・Whether orthodontic treatment is truly necessary ・Whether wire braces or clear aligners are suitable ・Estimated treatment period and cost Furthermore, simultaneous participation by parents and children or siblings is also possible. This free consultation session is designed for anyone with questions or concerns, such as: "I'm worried if my child's teeth alignment is okay as it is." "Is there any point in starting orthodontics as an adult?" 【Event Outline】 Event Name: Dental Alignment and Orthodontic Consultation Session for Adults and Children Date & Time: Saturday, April 11, 2026, and Saturday, April 25, 2026, from 9:00 to 17:00 on both days.
