We understand starting orthodontic treatment is exciting but can also sometimes be a little overwhelming. You might not be sure whether orthodontics is right for you, or what treatment would suit you best.
We are always here to help – you can book a Complimentary virtual assessment or come and visit us at our Redwood Shores, CA office.
The best results come to patients who understand the whole process and that’s why we have invested in a comprehensive, computerized patient education program. Understanding what’s involved will help you make an informed decision after some initial guidance from our expert orthodontist, Dr. Wu. But why should you visit an orthodontist, and how are they different to dentists?
Orthodontist vs DentistMany of our patients are surprised by how easy it is to wear the braces we recommend at Redwood Shores Orthodontics. Treatment options include Invisalign® or ClearSmyles plastic aligners, new generation Pitts 21 (self-ligating braces) and the completely invisible Brius braces solution. Redwood Shores Orthodontics is confident we can find the most effective and advanced braces to get you the most beautiful smile, faster than you’d think.
All of our orthodontic solutions allow you to easily maintain your oral hygiene, are comfortable to wear and are powered by the most state of the art technology. Our focus on innovation means that you’re closer than you could imagine to empowering your smile.
Life with BracesThough true emergency care is rarely necessary, Redwood Shores Orthodontics are committed to ensuring you’re never left worrying about what to do in an emergency. Follow our procedures as covered in our emergency care website page.
Emergency Care Info
Kim removed my Brava braces and I had a really good experience with her. She was very kind, patient, and gentle throughout the whole process. One of my lower teeth was very sensitive when the brackets were being removed, but she took extra care to reduce the pain as much as possible. She carefully cleaned around the sides and worked slowly, which made the removal feel much more comfortable and seamless. I really appreciated how attentive and considerate she was the entire time. Thank you, Kim, for making what I expected to be a stressful experience much easier

Dr. Wu and the entire team are fantastic! They’re friendly, professional, and truly care about their patients. Both of my kids had their teeth straightened here, and the results came in even faster than promised. The office is welcoming, appointments run on time, and they take the time to explain every step. My kids’ smiles have never looked better
