Dr. David Vu was born in Vancouver, but is now an Albertan of 12 years. He studied at the Universities of British Columbia and Alberta where he obtained his B.Sc, D.D.S.

During his off time, he enjoys playing video games, sipping coffee,…

Their FAQ
Answers from their website.
Do I Need A Referral To See An Orthodontist?
While your dentist may recommend that you see an orthodontist, you do not need a referral to come see us at Legacy Orthodontics! Just book a consultation today.
At What Age Should A Child See An Orthodontist?
The Canadian Association of Orthodontists (CAO) recommends that children get their first orthodontic assessment at seven years old. This allows us to catch any issues early.
Do You Offer Phase 1 & Phase 2 Treatments?
Yes we do! Typically each phase would be about 18 months each, and in the period between phases our patients will have to wear retainers.
What Happens At The Initial Consultation & Examination Appointment?
During our virtual consultation, we'll discuss your orthodontic concerns and how we can help. When you come in for your initial assessment we'll do scans and recommend a treatment plan.
Is Orthodontics Only For Kids & Teens? Can Adults Get Orthodontic Care?
There is no age limit for accessing orthodontic care. While it may seem like most people with braces are younger, we have many adult patients. It's never too late!
How Long Will It Take To Complete A Full Treatment?
Treatment durations depend on your specific case, what issues we're trying to correct, and which treatment option you choose. We can give you a better timeline during the consultation.
My Dentist Has Recommended Braces. Do Braces Hurt?
Braces can be a bit painful. When you first get your braces, you'll likely be sore, and your cheeks might get scratched up by the brackets. But once you adjust, it won't be painful anymore.
Will I Be Able To Play Sport Or Be Active After Getting Braces?
You can still be active after your braces. Be mindful if you play a sport involving moving objects like balls. If you get hit in the face, you could damage your braces.
