Services
Invisalign Treatment
Invisalign uses custom clear aligners to straighten teeth discreetly. Ideal for adults and teens seeking braces alternatives, this method allows easy oral hygiene and virtual treatment previews. Dr. Wu evaluates candidacy to ensure optimal results.
Lingual Braces
Incognito lingual braces are placed behind teeth for invisible correction. Customized to each patient's bite, this option suits those prioritizing aesthetics while achieving precise tooth alignment and bite improvement.
Early Prevention
Phase I treatment addresses developmental issues in children aged 7+. It corrects crossbites, spacing, and jaw imbalances to simplify future orthodontic care and reduce extraction risks through early intervention.
Temporary Anchorage Devices
TADs are mini-implants that accelerate tooth movement, reduce treatment time, and minimize surgery needs. These removable devices enable precise corrections for complex cases like open bites and severe misalignments.
Jaw Surgery
Surgical orthodontics corrects severe jaw misalignments. Collaborating with oral surgeons, Dr. Wu develops integrated plans to improve bite function and facial symmetry for long-term oral health and aesthetics.
