Fortunately, it’s rare that there is an emergency with the braces made possible by Dr. Wu and the team at Redwood Shores 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 650-593-1160.
It was a great experience to receive the help that I got when going through getting braces. A treatment coordinator named Josie was very kind and friendly. An RDA named Kim helped me throughout the time I had braces making sure I knew what to do and what to look out for. Assisting in making sure that I got my braces off as soon as possible while getting the best results. The staff were very friendly and Dr. Wu was supportive and happy to see good results. All in all it was an amazing experience. Dr. Wu gave the best option for me to straighten my teeth the fastest.

My first visit was all positive. Everyone made me feel extremely comfortable and seemed like they really cared about my teeth and the treatment I needed. The staff were all wonderful. I would highly recommend this orthodontist office of Dr. Wu and his staff.
