August featured patient testimonial!

A happy patient writes, "Having Dr. Tina Siu as my orthodontist, made the whole experience that every kid or teenager dreads feel, instead, safe and, if I dare say, enjoyable. She has been nothing but efficient and professional as well as kind and reassuring during my two years as her patient. Kudos to Tina Siu and I strongly recommend her to anyone who in need of braces."

Ask Dr. Siu: Now that I have braces, what can I eat?

You just got braces at our office and Dr. Tina Siu has informed you that during your orthodontic treatment you will want to avoid eating anything sticky, hard, crunchy, or chewy. What does this leave for you to eat? Lettuce? Nothing?

Luckily, our friends at the American Association of Orthodontists, or AAO, created a variety of “braces-friendly” recipes that will allow you to enjoy your favorite treats without interfering with your orthodontic care!

Recipes include main dishes, side dishes and even yummy desserts! After all, a healthy diet provides essential nutrients and helps the patient achieve the best possible results from orthodontic treatment.

If you have any questions about the recipes listed or about the foods you should be avoiding during your orthodontic treatment, please give us a call or ask us on Facebook!
Enjoy!

Tell Dr. Siu about your summer!

The dog days of summer are upon us, and what better time for our team at Siu Orthodontics to ask our patients about their summer!

Whether you visited our nation’s capitol, went on a camping trip, visited the state fair or just stayed in the L.A. area and hung out with friends, we want to know how you’re all spending your summer! Please feel free to share your summer plans and experiences with us below or on our Facebook page as the summer comes to an end soon for a lot of our patients at Siu Orthodontics! We invite you to post your photos as well!

We look forward to hearing all about your adventures! Enjoy the rest of your summer!

Smile Week at Siu Orthodontics

It’s National Smile Week at Siu Orthodontics, and a GREAT time to remind Dr. Siu's patients to practice good oral hygiene to keep those teeth sparkling during your orthodontic treatment!

Here are a few simple steps you can take to improve your oral health so that you may celebrate National Smile Week for many, many years to come:

* Brush at least twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
* Floss everyday to clean between your teeth and braces.
* Reduce your intake of sugary foods and drinks during your orthodontic treatment
* Visit your dentist regularly (every 6 months or as recommended by your dentist)!

If you have questions about any of these tips, we encourage you to give us a call, ask Dr. Siu during your next visit ... or ask us on Facebook!

And remember to smile at people you come across throughout the week, whether you know them or not. Smiles are contagious, and are a good thing to give and to get. We hope you’re all having a relaxing summer!
