Staff Profile

In order to provide our patients with comfortable and high quality treatment, we have many staff working here at E-LINE. All of our staff are licensed specialists. We would like to make our clinic a place where patients feel comfortable communicating and not just the place they come for treatment.

Our director Dr. Takemoto and every orthodontist working here are licensed lingual orthodontic specialists, and everyone is an expert in the use and application of our self-developed STb-SL lingual devices. We are able to attain highest level of treatment because every orthodontist working for us is an expert in the STb-SL system. This is because we are the clinic that originally developed the STb-SL and its standard of quality.
In order to achieve consistently high quality results, our staff communicates regularly about treatment principles. Thus, we are able to run an organization in which our orthodontists, dental hygienists and dental technicians are all experts in lingual orthodontics treatment and attain the highest level of treatment in each step of the treatment process.

All of our dental hygienists are licensed experts of the special skill of lingual orthodontics. Besides guiding patients’ brushing, they also clean the patients’ teeth and perform points of lingual orthodontic maintenance. Over the two years of active treatment and two years of retention, our dental hygienists support their patients very closely.

Our reception staff are our patients first point of contact with us. Our receptionists will help patients transition into treatment smoothly. Your opinion is very important to us, so please feel free to talk with reception about your appointments, as well as any concerns you have about treatment.

The dental technicians' laboratory is often imaged to be a place for making fillings for tooth decay, or dentures. For orthodontics, dental technicians have to make models of teeth and create the positioning of the orthodontic devices. This is a very important role in orthodontic treatment.
We have built a dental technician lab inside our facility and have staffed it with expert lingual orthodontic technicians. In so doing, we have created a unique system in the dental industry in which doctors and dental technicians can communicate directly, without the delays inherent in using an outsourced dental laboratory. When making a model of a patient’s teeth, and when deciding on the positioning of the devices, our doctors and dental technicians can check and recheck each other’s work any number of times. Because of the ability to do this quickly and personally in our labratory, the accuracy of the finished setup model increases substantially. This is one of the key reasons that we have been able to achieve superior teeth alignment for each of our patients.
