"Why I chose Dr. Vu as my orthodontist

An advanced professional

Before having braces, I often asked brace wearers for information and knew that this was a long breath taking treatment, 2 years in average, 4 to 5 years if complication happened. Sometimes improper treatments would cause bad side effects. Therefore, I made a lot of researches, and carefully deliberated before making the final decision.

Dr. Vu possesses very advanced, solid scientific, technical backgrounds directly related to his orthodontic specialty. Braces are mechanical tool using force to move wrongly placed teeth. Dr Vu has a M.S. degree in Mechanic Engineering from M.I.T. - a world class institution. M.I.T. students are usually excellent. In fact, the importance of graduating from this elite environment is not the knowledge which will be out of date very soon in an ever changing tech world; but it is the confidence, the spirit of grand thinking, the vision, the learning, solving skills, the habits of working to achieve excellence. These attributes are necessary in any intellectual work and help the professionals progress in their career. Dr. Vu earned his Ph.D. in Applied Mechanics from the University of Michigan (Ann Arbor); this gives him a reflex of thorough thinking in other intellectual domains. Being a Ph.D. in Applied Mechanics gives Dr. Vu better calculating, conceptualizing capabilities in comparison to a normal orthodontist; this allows him to use brace techniques more efficiently to achieve optimal result, because braces are an application of Applied Mechanics.

Dr. Vu was a clinical assistant professor in orthodontics at the University of Southern California (USC).

Communication & clear explanations from Dr. Vu

Before meeting Dr. Vu, I consulted another orthodontist, it’s a big difference between the 2 free consultations from 2 doctors.

One only explained sparely about braced time, treatment procedures, no explanation on the pros and cons of each kind of braces. It's a one way communication with distilled information.

Dr. Vu gave me - a teacher, and my husband - an engineer who is very curious, interested in different domains, a pleasant surprise, and a good impression in the first consultation. First, he asked me some introductory questions to catch the spirit of my wishes, intentions. He explained the advantages and disadvantages of each choice; he was open for questions and answered perfectly all our questions. Especially, his answers were of common sense - at the same time assuring technical requirements, but also taking into account the constraints of everyday life; these were not answers from university nor from ivory tower, these were answers from someone who understands the subject, and explains with simplicity. My husband, who frequently faces contradictions or differences between books and realities liked the way Dr. Vu answered. Myself, I was pleased with Dr. Vu’s approach and explanations. Confident, we did not need further consultations with other orthodontists, and I began the treatment with Dr. Vu right away, few minutes after the first consultation.

Reasonable treatment fee

Because bracing is a long time treatment leading to a life-time result, we consider the quality of treatment our first priority, price is secondary one. We were prepared to pay a higher price for a good doctor, we are very happy to pay an equal or lower price when comparing with other orthodontists."

"I see many other orthodontist before I came to Dr Vu hoping to get my teeth "straighten", many other orthodontist just emphasized on the fact that I need to put on the braces and make my teeth straight, failing to inform me of my periodontal problems. Dr. Vu was different, he recognized the problem and potential complications and as well educate me on the situation, and refuse to start the treatment until it is address or else ortho treatment will escalate the problem. That some commitments to the patient!

Not only is he is a good doctor, but also friendly and work with his patient to accommodate their financial situation. Explains everything thoroughly and uses lingo and example everyone will understand. My sister is also considering getting ortho treatment and I told her to go straight to Dr. Vu and no one else."
