How do Dr. Siu and team 'Go Green'?

Our team at Siu Orthodontics know that we are living in an age when more and more people have a renewed commitment to conservation, and are frequently reminded to recycle, reduce and reuse. We, too, have taken steps to make our office more environmentally-friendly.

We have a digital X-ray machine that our registered dental assistants can take wonderful radiographs with - the results are instant and are on the computer and in our patients' files quickly and easily. These digital radiographs can be sent by our front office, Kathy, to the patient's dentist or oral surgeon by email as well.

In addition, using the digital radiographs keeps us from creating hazardous waste with developer and fixer when developing hard copy radiographs. The computer treatment records have been a great way to go green at our office as well. And no more treatment cards to lose! We back up our system daily so we know we will have our patients records available no matter what happens. The treatment chart is also connected to the photos, radiographs and all correspondence related to our patient that is scanned into the computer. Technology is really an amazing thing!

"How Orthodontics Changed My Life" video contest at Siu Orthodontics!

Dr. Siu would like to direct your attention to an exciting contest that our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists are currently running. The contest, “How Orthodontics Changed My Life,” is all about you - tell the AAO your story about treatment at Siu Orthodontics and you may just win a $2,500 scholarship!

Contest entrants should tell their stories on video, and answer the following questions:

* What were you like before you had orthodontic treatment?
* How have you changed How proud are you of your new smile?
* When did you notice changes in yourself?
* What kinds of changes have you noticed?
* What does your new smile mean to you?
* What would you say to others whose smiles make them self-conscious?


There will be two winners; the contest is open to students who are age 18 who have completed active orthodontic treatment (braces must have been removed) and be in the active retention phase of treatment or have completed active retention.

The contest guidelines provide instructions to contestants on submitting their videos, which are to be submitted on DVDs or USB flash drives and accompanied by a signed release. By July 1st, the two winners will be announced. Finalists will be notified by phone or email before June 15 and winners will be notified by phone or email before July 1st.

Dr. Siu and our entire team hope you'll find time to submit your video! GOOD LUCK!!

Lastly, Dr. Siu recently delivered retainers to one of her Invisalign patients and asked her, "What did you think about the Invisalign treatment, Alissa?"

"It was easier and much less painful than I expected," Alissa said. "In fact, it was so easy that I wondered if my teeth would move but before I knew it they were straight! I am happy with the results and so is my mother! The Invisalign treatment in Dr. Siu's office was a very simple process with excellent results."

We are happy to be able to provide the Invisalign treatment for the patients it works best for. It can be a very nice way to straighten your teeth without traditional braces. To learn more, please give us a call at 626-796-0615.
