My daughter just finished her treatment and the result is just perfect. I was Dr. Wu’s patient long time and am still very happy with my result after many years. That’s why I brought my daughter here when she was ready for the orthodontist treatment. Dr. Wu and his staff are always nice and accommodating. They always explain everything clearly and make sure you understand the purpose of each step, which I like a lot. They are also very accommodating for emergency treatment if the bracket is broken or fall off.
