September featured patient review!

Every now and then, we like to feature great reviews from our wonderful patients. Here's a testimonial from my patient, Madeline.

"My experience with Dr. Siu was nothing short of wonderful. From the moment you walk in to the moment you leave, you are greeted with smiles and sincere care. I felt like the staff took great care in tending to my teeth and encouraged my progress every step of the way. My greatest praise would be to Dr. Siu's ability to keep my removal on schedule, with my diligent co-operation, of course! I am overjoyed by the new smile they have given me! Thank you Dr. Siu!"

"My daughter is turning seven - when should I bring her in for a consultation?"

Great question, and GREAT timing! Braces were originally considered to be best appropriate for teens. But these days, kids as old as seven are beginning their orthodontic treatment. Because preadolescent kids are typically not self-conscious, our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists suggest it could be a good idea to start early.

Experts, however, say it depends on the treatment required. Some children who get braces at an early age end up in a second phase of treatment, and end up having braces well into their teenage years despite starting young.

Most orthodontic treatment begins between ages nine and 14, and the folks at AAO estimate most orthodontic treatment lasts from one to three years, with two years being the average. It’s important, however, that children be screened no later than age seven for Dr. Tina Siu to assess what the best age for treatment is.

Our staff hope this helps! Give us a call at 626-796-0615 if you have any questions about your child’s treatment or to schedule a complimentary orthodontic consultation! Enjoy your weekend!
