Sekido kyousei shika
Sekido Kyousei Shika is an orthodontics-focused dental clinic sitting on the second floor of the Keio Seiseki-Sakuragaoka Shopping Center A-building in Tama City — so you’re literally above a mall, which makes combining errands with appointments pretty easy. The clinic is run under the medical corporation Smile Forever, which at least suggests some institutional backing behind the braces and aligners.
Their website has some English-language content, which is a decent sign, but don’t assume you’ll walk in and have a fully English-speaking consultation waiting for you. The reality is probably closer to “basic communication possible, bring patience.” Orthodontics appointments tend to involve more visual explanation anyway — looking at X-rays, pointing at models — so the language barrier is more manageable here than at a clinic where you need to describe vague symptoms. That said, complex treatment planning conversations will likely need a translation app or a Japanese-speaking friend.
If you’re in the Tama/Seiseki-Sakuragaoka area and want orthodontic work done, this is a convenient, accessible option. Just set your English expectations realistically.
Patient Feedback
No substantial English-language patient reviews are available for this clinic. In general, orthodontic clinics in Japanese shopping centers tend to run efficiently — appointments are scheduled tightly, waits are usually short, and consultations are thorough on the technical side. The mall location means easy access and no hunting for parking or a side street. Expect a clinical, professional atmosphere rather than a warm boutique feel.
English Language Proficiency
For translating forms, prescriptions, or discharge summaries, Jozu is worth having on your phone.
