Fortunately, it’s rare that there is an emergency with the braces made possible by Dr. Wu and the team at Silicon Valley Orthodontics. Our investment in the latest techniques and most revolutionary dental appliances makes damage and repairs a thing of the past.
However, if you do find that there’s a problem, we will of course do all we can to see you as soon as possible.
If your problem begins out of hours or on the weekend, there are some things you can do yourself to remedy the issue. If you’re using braces with a wire that’s causing a problem, you can sometimes use a strong nail clipper to trim the part of the wire irritating you. If it’s not too long before you can come in and see Dr. Wu, you could use wax or a soft cotton to cover the wire. You can also bend wire out of the way if it’s causing problems with something blunt like a Q tip or the eraser end of a pencil.
Please schedule an appointment at your earliest convenience if you’ve had to take action to alleviate discomfort. Leaving your appliance without repair will affect your treatment time.
If you are experiencing severe pain please call Dr. Wu as soon as you can at (650) 322-0288.
We have had a wonderful experience with Wu Orthodontics. Dr. Wu provides superior treatment and is wonderfully patient, taking the time to thoroughly explain the entire process of bringing perfect smiles to my children. Whenever we have had questions or needed assistance, Dr. Wu and his fantastic team have always provided quick and perfect solutions.
I want to give a special thanks to the staff for how genuinely they care for their young patients. My kids actually enjoy going into the office each month. Not only do they appreciate the progress on their teeth, but the kind and welcoming staff makes every visit a great experience. Highly recommend!
