Orthodontic Care
Orthodontics
Orthodontics is a specialized field of dentistry that focuses on diagnosing, preventing, and treating dental and facial irregularities, specifically related to the alignment of teeth and jaws. Orthodontic treatments aim to correct issues such as malocclusions (misaligned bite), overcrowded teeth, gaps, and improper jaw positioning.
Orthodontic treatment commonly involves the use of braces or clear aligners, such as Invisalign®, to gradually move teeth into their proper positions. These appliances apply gentle and controlled forces to guide teeth into alignment over a period of time.
By addressing these dental irregularities, orthodontic treatment not only improves the appearance of the smile but also enhances oral health and function. It can help prevent tooth decay, gum disease, jaw problems, and improve overall chewing and speech.
At Dr. Joyce Wu Dental Burnaby Clinic, our experienced orthodontic team offers comprehensive orthodontic services, personalized treatment plans, and advanced techniques to help patients achieve straighter, healthier, and more confident smiles.
Invisalign®
Invisalign® is an advanced orthodontic treatment that offers a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional metal braces. It utilizes a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually and gently shift the teeth into their desired position.
The Invisalign® system begins with a comprehensive evaluation and the creation of a customized treatment plan. Using 3D imaging technology, a series of clear aligners are then crafted specifically for each patient. These aligners are worn for about 20-22 hours a day, and approximately every two weeks, they are replaced with the next set in the series to continue the tooth movement process.
Invisalign® aligners are virtually invisible, comfortable to wear, and can be easily removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. They offer a more aesthetically pleasing and convenient option for individuals seeking orthodontic correction.
At Dr. Joyce Wu Dental Burnaby Clinic, our experienced team provides expert Invisalign® treatment, ensuring optimal alignment and a beautifully straight smile. Through precise planning and regular check-ups, we guide patients towards achieving their desired results in a discreet and comfortable manner.
BOTOX®
BOTOX® is a popular non-surgical cosmetic treatment that utilizes botulinum toxin to temporarily reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. It works by blocking nerve signals to the targeted facial muscles, causing them to relax and soften.
BOTOX® injections are commonly used to treat wrinkles and lines in the forehead, around the eyes (crow’s feet), and between the eyebrows (frown lines). The procedure is quick, relatively painless, and requires no downtime, making it a convenient option for those seeking a more youthful and rejuvenated appearance.
At Joyce Wu Dental Clinic, we offer BOTOX® treatments performed by trained professionals who have an in-depth understanding of facial anatomy. Our goal is to provide safe and effective treatments, helping patients achieve natural-looking results and enhance their overall facial aesthetics.
