Services
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners offer a discreet, removable solution for straightening teeth without traditional braces. Using advanced 3D imaging, we create custom aligners that gradually shift teeth into optimal alignment. Ideal for adults and teens seeking aesthetic orthodontic care, this treatment combines comfort with precision for predictable results.
Braces
Traditional braces provide effective, reliable correction for complex orthodontic issues. Our self-ligating and clear ceramic options combine modern technology with durability, ensuring efficient tooth movement and reduced adjustment time. Suitable for patients of all ages requiring comprehensive bite and alignment correction.
Two Phase Treatment
Two-phase treatment addresses orthodontic issues in children and adolescents through staged interventions. The first phase focuses on jaw development and space management, while the second phase refines tooth alignment. This approach ensures optimal facial symmetry and long-term dental health.
3D Intraoral Scanning
Our 3D intraoral scanners eliminate messy traditional impressions with precise, comfortable digital imaging. This technology captures detailed tooth and gum structures in real time, enhancing treatment planning accuracy and reducing appointment durations for improved patient experience.
Grin Remote Monitoring
Grin Remote Monitoring allows patients to track treatment progress from home using smartphone photos. This innovative system enables timely adjustments and reduces in-office visits, maintaining treatment efficiency while offering greater flexibility for busy lifestyles.

I've been recommending First Impressions to all my family and friends! Dr Luu and the entire First Impressions team are super sweet, professional and tend to all my concerns! Though my treatment was 30 months, it felt like time flew by so quickly when I am warmly welcome at every visit to First Impressions. All the staff genuinely cares about you and was super excited with me for the removal of my braces! I am so happy with the results of my teeth and I could not thank you the team enough for joining me in my process of a confident smile.

I have recently finished my treatment with Dr Luu and I am very happy with the result of my teeth. The treatment timeline was a bit longer than what I had expected; however, I was well-informed and explained thoroughly by Dr Luu along the process. I felt safe during my treatment because Dr Luu is detail and always personally checked my teeth and its process at every appointments. Coordination team and customer service staff were professional and friendly.
