Braces

Traditional metal and ceramic braces provide effective tooth alignment solutions for patients of all ages. Our practice offers both conventional and self-ligation bracket systems with customized archwire progression to ensure optimal tooth movement while minimizing discomfort. Treatment plans incorporate biomechanical analysis to achieve precise dental positioning and improved bite function.

Invisalign

Invisalign treatment uses custom-molded clear aligners to gradually reposition teeth without traditional brackets. This removable system allows for easier oral hygiene maintenance and dietary freedom during treatment. Our specialists address common limitations like rotational correction and gap closure while ensuring proper bite alignment through sequential aligner therapy.

Phase I Orthodontics

Specialized orthodontic intervention for children aged 7-9 addresses developmental issues like crossbites and protruding teeth. This early treatment phase utilizes mixed dentition to create proper dental arch development, potentially reducing future treatment complexity. We focus on psychological benefits and establishing optimal conditions for permanent tooth eruption.

CBCT Imaging

Cone Beam Computed Tomography provides detailed three-dimensional dental imaging for accurate diagnosis and treatment planning. This technology enables precise assessment of tooth positioning, bone structure, and airway analysis while minimizing radiation exposure compared to traditional imaging methods. Our direct digital system delivers immediate image visualization for enhanced clinical decision-making.

Implant Treatment

Orthodontic preparation for dental implants ensures optimal positioning and bone support for restorative solutions. Our biomechanical approach integrates finite element analysis to plan implant placement in grafted sinus areas and compromised bone structures. Treatment combines periodontal considerations with prosthetic requirements to achieve long-term implant success.

My brother has had his braces on for more than 7 years from here. Isn't that borderline negligence? 4 years, maybe 5 years MAX. And that's already pushing it. 7 years? LOLOL what are the people doing here LOLOLOL My brother would've probably had them on for 11 years because this place does a bad job aligning teeth properly, within a regular amount of time. The only reason he's getting them off this "early" (LMAO) is because the army is forcing him to remove them.

Also the receptionist scheduled my brother to come in today on a Tuesday and they're closed. We found out by looking at their Yelp hours. HAHAHA dead! I can't. This place is a bunch of incompetent buffoons. NO ONE here can do their job. UPDATE: they called back and turns out they just went overtime on their lunch. They came back at 2:20 when they scheduled my brother for a 2pm appointment. Big yikes

I've had my braces done here and my wisdom tooth removal as well. Dr. Vu knows exactly what's he's doing. Sometimes the process takes long or it can be frustrating, but I can't deny the results, especially his methods in wisdom tooth removal. He's very precise and careful. He takes his time and adjusts whatever is needed to make you comfortable. His sutures are very well done as I didn't need a gauze. My face wasn't swollen either! Granted I only removed one. Still, the whole process was beyond my expectations.

Well, I only trust this dentist place now cause other places try to force me to get braces and get deep cleaning like lotus dentist. Lotus dentist just wants your money. Never go there.

Dr Vu is an excellent orthodontist! He's always looking for ways to improve and really cares about his patients! He's been my ortho for over two years now and I feel very comfortable and confident with his care. As a nurse I'm fully aware of providing clean and safe care to patients. Addressing the previous review from DP. It's far from true. Dr Vu is not sharing gloves with his staff. That's just ridiculous! He's a busy Doc that's true but he's doing his best to give quality safe care to all his patients. Regarding his staff, I've never had an issue and was always treated with respect. I definitely recommend Dr Vu and his staff.

Dr. Vu, Mindy and the staff here is truly great! I came here about a year ago just to get a consultation and was so impressed by how clean and organized everything was. Dr. Vu showed explained to me right away what I needed to do to close my open bite and advised me I would need braces I've had braces ever since and have seen a dramatic change in my teeth ever since. Every time I come in for an appointment it's always a great experience!
