I have been an orthodontic patient at Global Dental Centre under the exceptional care of Dr. Alexander Fu for five years, currently in the retainer phase. I am immensely grateful for Dr. Fu’s expertise in orthodontics, as it not only transformed my teeth alignment but also significantly improved my overall health through better breathing habits.

Dr. Fu’s approach to orthodontics is truly methodical. He delves beyond surface-level issues, such as teeth misalignment, and formulates treatments that address the root causes. In my specific case, my primary concern was correcting my teeth alignment, which included widening my narrow arch and addressing misaligned teeth. Additionally, I needed help with my overbite. During my initial consultation, Dr. Fu conducted a thorough examination, considering not only my teeth but also my facial characteristics. He astutely identified that many of my issues stemmed from a mouth-breathing habit.

Dr. Fu guided me through the process of improving my breathing habits, which, in turn, contributed to resolving my dental concerns. He explained that my mouth breathing had weakened my nasal passages and hindered proper palate development. This led to a cascade of issues, including insufficient space for my teeth, exacerbated mouth breathing, dry lips, mouth breathing during sleep, and compromised respiratory function. As a child, I frequently experienced nasal congestion and found myself needing to breathe forcefully.

My orthodontic journey was divided into three stages. In the initial stage, Dr. Fu prescribed a Myobrace and a set of exercises, including those for breathing, tongue posture, swallowing, and lip control. The second stage involved traditional metal braces, followed by the use of Invisalign in the third stage to further refine teeth positioning. Throughout this process, I witnessed numerous improvements, both visible and otherwise. Most notably, I successfully transitioned to proper nasal breathing, maintaining closed lips as my resting position. My sleep quality improved significantly, thanks to the cessation of mouth breathing during sleep. In addition, the exercises allowed my mouth and tongue muscles to be stronger. The improved habits allowed my lower jaw to grow and led to a more defined jawline. Furthermore, my teeth misalignment and overbite concerns were effectively addressed.

I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Fu to patients who resonate with his philosophy of non-extraction orthodontics. It’s worth noting that starting orthodontic treatment early yields the best results, not only because bad habits can be extremely challenging to overcome later but also because there is more growing potential. From my own experience, I’ve learned that bad habits can be extremely challenging to overcome, and the later one starts, the more challenging it becomes. Even to this day, I continue to perform the exercises Dr. Fu prescribed to maintain correct breathing habits. As such, Dr. Fu’s treatment approach works optimally with patients who are committed to following appliance wear instructions and daily exercises. Personally, I attribute the success of my orthodontic journey to my unwavering commitment to Dr. Fu’s guidance and my consistent communication of any concerns or questions during our monthly follow-ups.

I was patient for both this and Markham location. Don’t come to this place! They just want to use all ur insurance money on endless unnecessary checks and x-rays but don’t want to give u treatment. They don’t respect your time, you need to wait at least half an hour even u have appointment, and they want you to come again and again due to this and that stupid reason. I only got a cleaning and filling at my third visit when I’m already mad, and I won’t even get those if I was not pushing them. After lots of money and time spent with their “checks”, they cancelled me HALF DAY before the treatment, the reason is their Dentis still on vacation, not sure when he’s coming back. They don’t have any empathy on working-class patients who need to apply day-offs for them, however, they want all your workplace benefit money.

The people at the desk were really nice. They had the patience with me to process the paperwork step by step cause it was my first time there. So I would personally would say they have great customer service. Also the person who cleaned my teeth, Jenny, did a wonderful job. Always keeping me in checked to make sure that I was good and comfortable and made me feel less anxious. She run down how the process works very throughly which was great since it’s been a while. I say she’s very professional with her work and the people who have her are very fortunate. 10/10.
