New All Clear Damon Braces!

A very exciting event happened last week!!!! Our office (powaybraces.com) is one of a select few in the country who are now proud to provide totally Clear Damon Braces.

Poway Braces is the first and only orthodontic office in the Poway, Rancho Bernardo, Scripps Ranch, Ramona, Mira Mesa and surrounding area’s to be able to provide all Clear Damon braces.

If you’ve held off on getting braces due to unsightly looking braces, these are for you. A Huge difference over all other clear braces is the fact that the Clear Damon braces will NEVER discolor, turn yellow, green, brown, or any other color.

Have you ever seen someone who has clear braces but they have, unsightly discolored rubber bands going around the braces?? This is an all too common result of using small rubber bands to hold the wire into the braces.

The all new clear Damon braces never, ever, discolor or change their appearance and have all the fantastic benefits of the Damon System. Throughout our web site and other blog entries, detailed descriptions of these benefits can be found.

Braces are Amazing

One of the best things about our job involves watching the transformation of a patients smile. We get to see every step of the way, from the moment they come in right up until the day they get their braces removed.

Brandon really had an amazing change with both his smile and with his ability to close his lips together comfortably. Notice the difference from before braces and after they were removed.

Confusion exists about whether or not permanent teeth should ever require removal (extraction). As this result shows, there is a time to remove permanent teeth. We had 4 teeth removed, close the spaces completely, aligned the teeth, and allowed the front teeth to be brought back enough to greatly improve his profile.

This is what Orthodontics & Braces are all about.

Tooth Brushing and Braces

Written by Dr Thomas' Team:

Here at Dr Thomas' office, we are dedicated in providing our patients with the very best tools and training for achieving exceptional oral hygiene while wearing Damon Braces.

Did you know that before you even come in for your initial exam appointment with us, we have already contacted your dentist to see when you had your last cleaning appointment and if you have any pending work still needed to complete (for example cavities)? We work closely with your dentist during the duration of your orthodontic treatment.

At your bonding appointment (when your braces are put on), we go over detailed cleaning instructions and give you a hygiene kit. This kit comes with a traveling case to keep it organized. Our hygiene kit includes a dual headed toothbrush, travel toothbrush, 15 yard mint flavor floss, 3 minute sand timer (you should be brushing 3 minutes each arch), dental floss threaders, orthodontic wax, and a mouth mirror.

Poor Brushing can cause permanent damage to your teeth & we want to make sure this does not happen. Proper brushing helps keep teeth clean and healthy. To brush your teeth properly you must brush under, above, behind, and around all surfaces of every tooth and bracket. Remember to brush the inside and the outside of both the top and bottom gums.

Make sure to check after rinsing, and if your teeth and brackets are not clean and shining.....brush them again.

Lastly, remember to floss carefully around each tooth. This process is more time consuming than without braces but if done regularly will help keep your teeth healthy. Only floss the ones you want to keep :-)

Happy New Year!

Toothfully yours, Dr Thomas & Team

Clear 'Invisable' Aligners

Need braces, but don’t want to deal with all of the discomfort and restrictions that are included with them? Then maybe Invisable aligners are your answer.

Braces are not just for kids anymore. Many adults who have suffered from crowded, unsightly teeth are electing to correct their smile. We offer “Clear Aligner” invisible braces. They are used to correct cases with rotated teeth, tipped teeth, and minor relapse cases. If there is enough space the correction can be made with just resets.

Your Invisible Aligner treatment will consist of a series of clear aligners that you switch out about every two - three weeks. Each aligner is individually manufactured with exact calculations to gradually shift your teeth into place. And since your Aligner system is custom-made for your teeth and your teeth only, with a plan devised by you and your doctor, you know you’ll end up with a smile that truly fits.

Clear Aligners are the best way to transform your smile without interfering with your day-to-day life if your bite qualifies for this type of tooth movement and correction.

If you’re ready for a smile that transforms your appearance, Powaybraces.com is your answer. Although there are many choices out there, no other orthodontic practice works as hard at making your entire experience efficient and enjoyable.
