A new clinic, "Kanagawa Yokohama Orthodontics," introducing Oh my teeth clear aligner treatment (Oh my teeth Inc., Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director CEO: Makoto Nishino), will open on May 1, 2026, in Nishi-ku, Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture.
This will be the 12th clinic nationwide to introduce Oh my teeth, and its largest scale, surpassing the existing 11 locations.
Looking at new Oh my teeth subscribers by prefecture in 2025, Kanagawa Prefecture accounted for 9.1% share, ranking 4th nationwide. This was the largest scale among metropolitan areas outside of Tokyo. *1
With the opening in Yokohama, Oh my teeth will reduce the burden of starting orthodontic treatment in the Kanagawa area through its 24-hour LINE support and a system requiring a minimum of one clinic visit. *2
**Growing demand from the Kanagawa area**
As a result of aggregating new Oh my teeth subscribers by prefecture in 2025, Kanagawa Prefecture had a 9.1% share, ranking 4th nationwide. This means that after Tokyo, many people from Kanagawa Prefecture chose Oh my teeth. *1
Furthermore, combining Kanagawa, Yamanashi, and Shizuoka prefectures, approximately one in ten new Oh my teeth subscribers resides in this area. Yokohama Station is a terminal with 6 lines, including the JR Tokaido Line, Yokosuka Line, and Shonan Shinjuku Line, offering excellent access from throughout Kanagawa Prefecture and eastern Shizuoka Prefecture.
Previously, there were no Oh my teeth introducing clinics in the Kanagawa area, and users living there had to travel to Tokyo (Shinjuku, Omotesando, Yurakucho, etc.) for their initial consultation.
In fact, we have received feedback from users such as, "It's too far to go to Tokyo for the initial diagnosis," and "If there was a clinic nearby when an attachment came off."
In response to these opinions, we have decided to open Kanagawa Yokohama Orthodontics.
**"Interested, but far away" - Regional hurdles preventing a step towards orthodontics**
As of 2025, there are approximately 2,773 certified orthodontists by the Japanese Orthodontic Society nationwide. This accounts for only about 14% of all dentists who perform orthodontic treatment (approximately 20,000). *3
In other words, the current situation is that whether specialized orthodontic treatment is readily available depends on the region where one lives.
In addition, a third-party survey clearly shows a "gap between interest" and "actual action" regarding orthodontic care.
According to a 2025 consumer questionnaire by Yano Research Institute, 49.0% of respondents answered that they were "interested" in orthodontic treatment, while only 22.0% "actually underwent treatment" (a difference of 27 points). *4
It is believed that behind this gap are not only concerns about cost and duration, but also physical hurdles such as "time and distance to go for the initial precise diagnosis."
Oh my teeth has so far narrowed the distance barrier with technology through its 24-hour LINE support and a system that generally does not require clinic visits. On the other hand, face-to-face medical care is inevitably dependent on the location in situations requiring an initial precise diagnosis or at the end of treatment.
Narrowing the distance barrier with technology and increasing the number of locations. We believe that advancing both wheels is the true way to expand access to orthodontic care.
With the opening of the Yokohama location, users in the Kanagawa area will now be able to receive their initial consultation at a clinic just a 7-minute walk from JR Yokohama Station, in addition to the existing online support.

**Representative's Comment**
Makoto Nishino, Representative Director CEO, Oh my teeth Inc.
Oh my teeth prides itself on having transformed orthodontics into "something that can be easily started nearby." However, even now, with new subscribers in Kanagawa Prefecture ranking 4th nationwide, many people still travel to Tokyo. This is a result of our system, and also a challenge we needed to address.
We have actually received feedback from Kanagawa users saying, "I wish there was a location a little closer."
This will be the 12th clinic nationwide to introduce Oh my teeth, and its largest scale, surpassing the existing 11 locations.
