Dr. Siu's orthodontic treatment philosophy is personal and conservative. She is personally involved with the treatment of each and every patient, considering each with his or her individual needs and goals in mind. Dr. Siu also understands that conservative treatment is often the best treatment. She tries to avoid prescribing extractions and does her best to minimize treatment time. Dr. Siu enjoys treating all her patients from the elementary school children who love colorful brackets to the teenagers who are dealing with the difficulties of junior high and high school, and even the adult patients who want to have healthy fabulous smiles for the rest of their lives. Dr. Siu's favorite part of orthodontics creating a sense of confidence for her patients by giving them smiles that they can share with the world.
