Professor Su-Jung Kim's research lab specializes in orthodontic biomechanics and craniofacial biology, focusing on accelerating tooth movement through surgical and laser-based interventions such as Corticision and low-level laser therapy (LLLT). The lab investigates the biological mechanisms of alveolar bone remodeling and periodontal tissue response during orthodontic treatment, with particular emphasis on minimizing relapse and improving treatment outcomes in complex cases. Recent work also explores the intersection of orthodontics and sleep apnea, identifying craniofacial phenotypes linked to obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) for personalized treatment planning. The lab employs beagle models and clinical studies to translate findings into evidence-based orthodontic protocols.

Corticision might be an efficient procedure for accelerating orthodontic tooth movement accompanied with alveolar bone remodeling.
Abstract Background and Objective Both Corticision and low‐level laser therapy (LLLT) are known to affect the rate of tooth movement. Our objective was to investigate the combined effects of Corticision and LLLT on the tooth movement rate and paradental remodeling in beagles. Study Design/Materials and Methods The maxillary second premolars ( n = 24) of 12 beagles were randomly divided into four groups ( n = 6 per group) based on the treatment modality: group A, only orthodontic force (control);
OS of metastatic/recurrent NET was different according to tumor grade. TTP was different according to metastasis site. Therefore, development of optimal treatment strategy based on the characteristics of NET is warranted.
Remarkable Tumor Response to Crizotinib in a 14-Year-Old Girl With ALK-Positive Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
Laser CSF is an effective procedure to decrease relapse after tooth rotation, causing no apparent damage to the supporting periodontal structures, whereas LLLT on orthodontically rotated teeth without retainers appears to increase the relapse tendency.
The single-legged hold exercise in the hooklying position on an unstable supporting surface induced greater abdominal muscle EMG amplitude than the same exercise performed on a stable supporting surface. These results suggest that performing the single-legged hold exercise while in the hook-lying position on a round foam roll is useful for activating the abdominal muscles.
Neuroendocrine tumors from the pancreas, GI tract, and lung showed different clinical characteristics.
Three OSA phenotypes resulted from this study provide a clinical guideline for differential diagnosis and orthodontic intervention in the interdisciplinary treatment for OSA patients.
PD-L1 expression increased following acquisition of ALK inhibitor resistance in ALK-positive NSCLC cell lines and tumors.
Tooth-bone-borne rapid palatal expander had a risk of asymmetric expansion, especially in facial asymmetric patients with chin deviation, producing different craniofacial changes from symmetric expansion.
This study was performed to investigate the compliance, safety, dosage modifications (dose reduction and/or schedule change [including permanent S-1 withdrawal]), and clinical parameters that predict S-1 dosage modification in gastric cancer patients receiving adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy. One hundred and forty-nine patients who underwent curative D2 surgery and received adjuvant S-1 chemotherapy were enrolled. S-1 was administered orally (40 mg/m(2) twice daily on days 1-28 every 6 weeks) for 1 ye
