Orthodontic Treatment

Now, I'm undergoing orthodontic treatment.

In Japan, treatment covered by public health insurance is cheap.
However, cosmetic treatments such as orthodontics and teeth whitening are not covered, so they are very expensive.
In fact, many dentists don't actively recommend these treatments their patients.

At least until 2020, many Japanese people saw orthodontic treatments as a luxury that only rich people and celebrities could afford.
However, during the pandemic, remote work and study became common, and wearing musk even when they are not sick also became widespread. As a result, people could undergo orthodontic treatment without others noticing, and orthodontics quickly became more popular in Japan.

*Many Japanese people feel that faces with braces look unattractive.

I had my first consultation in April this year.
I still have separators between my teeth.
I'll have my teeth extracted this month and get braces next month.
It'll take a long time to get well-aligned teeth.


私は今、歯列矯正を受けています。

日本では、保険適用治療であれば安価です。
しかし、歯列矯正やホワイトニングのような審美目的の治療は自費診療となり、非常に高額です。
そのため、歯医者は患者に対して積極的にそれらの治療を勧めません。
少なくとも2020年以前までは、日本では歯列矯正は芸能人や裕福な人が行う贅沢品というイメージでした。

しかし、コロナ禍で在宅時間が増えたことや花粉症や風邪をひいている時以外でもマスクの着用が一般的になったことから、"他人に矯正装置を見られずに矯正できる"ようになり、急速に歯列矯正が普及しました。
*日本では、矯正装置を付けている姿は不格好だと認識されています。

私も今年の4月に初診を受けました。
まだセパレーターを歯に入れている段階です。
今月中に抜歯、来月に矯正装置を嵌める計画ですが、道のりはまだまだ長いです。

"Now," at the start of the sentence sounds kind of dramatic, like you're shifting the title. Since this sentence modifying usage of "now" has a lot more nuance than just saying the time, it's better to use something else, like "now" at the end of a sentence instead or the adverb "currently".
