I love practicing orthodontics because it allows me to make a positive difference in peoples lives by helping them achieve beautiful smiles and increased self-esteem. Working in this field is extremely rewarding, and I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to provide this service to my community. My team and I truly care about our patients and treat them like family.
I enjoy working with patients of all ages, but I find it particularly enjoyable to treat children. I feel I am able to have a positiveinfluence on the kids that come into our practice by showing them what can be achieved with dedication and hard work.
I have always believed that having a good education provided me with a strong foundation in orthodontics. Receiving this training and experience has allowed me to become a qualified professional my patients can trust with their smiles.
I have always been an advocate of continuing education in order to stay current with the latest techniques and treatment options, and offer my patients the very best when it comes to their care. I have taken courses on Invisalign and Invisalign Teen, temporary anchorage devices, and self-ligating brackets. All these techniques make my patients treatment more efficient and comfortable and their results more predictable.
We have an outstanding team made up of people who truly believe in making each and every patients visit comfortable and enjoyable. With years of experience and a commitment to patient care, our team is really one of a kind.
I live in Tracywith my wifeMeiling, our childrenNathan and Mariah, a guinea pig named Blacky, and a bearded dragon named Nate. When I have free time, I enjoy many outdoor activities such asbicycling, swimming, traveling, camping, horseback riding, and skiing, just to name a few.

Dr. Hu understands that patients are hesitant to undergo jaw surgery to correct severe discrepancies. Hehas treated many cases with excellent results that may have required jaw surgery with orthodontics only. This may involve using the Herbst appliance in cases where the front teeth are severely protruding. In cases of severe underbite, face-mask therapy is used to help advance the maxilla.
