Braces completed in 3-8 months?


Recently, Dr. Thomas attended a fascinating course given by Dr. Wilko from Pennsylvania. He (Periodontist – gum specialist) and his brother (who is an Orthodontist) have developed a technique whereby specialized gum procedures combined with braces produce remarkable changes in a very short amount of time.

If you would like to learn more about this technique please visit www.wilkodontics.com

Dr Thomas Visits Washington DC for Continuing Education


Did you know that Dr Thomas is heading to Washington DC to attend his annual American Association of Orthodontists meeting - he will attend 4 days of lectures - 8am to 5pm every day! We never stop learning do we?


One of the important things we learn in life is that we should
always be a student - its part of having fun living our life. Poway Braces is committed to life long learning and to the health of our patients dental health. Our practice has a lot of information on the Poway braces blog ~ Please visit our web site, read our blog on the site, and see if you can find our Face book page as well.

The Value of Damon Braces


What a difference straight teeth make - look at what can happen with braces. Dr. William Thomas and his team take pride in delivering quality care and treatment results for his patients. He practices in Poway, California and can be found online @ www.powaybraces.com.

When teeth are severely misaligned amazing changes are seen while using the Damon System of braces and wires. This philosophy includes using a self ligation bracket - simply put, a brace that is a tube the wire slides through rather than traditional braces whereby rubber elastic ties grip and push the wire into the brace. Is there a difference? Absolutely! The amount of friction created by rubber elastic ties is significant and increases the number of appointments required to complete treatment.

Braces can really change lives!


Years ago, Cindy wanted to straighten her teeth but was told she required surgery to widen her palate along with braces. Dr. Thomas not only aligned Cindy's teeth, but also developed the width in her smile to give a radiant appearance - without the need for surgery. The Damon System allows the widening for most patients without palate expansion devices and/or surgery - especially in adults.

Poway Braces and Dr. Thomas
take great pride in focusing on high quality care with the most state of the art techniques. As a matter of fact, Dr. Thomas attends many continuing education courses throughout the year and is attending the upcoming annual American Association of Orthodontists meeting in Washington DC. He will attend 4 full days of advanced courses on the latest findings in current research for Orthodontics.

Upcoming Summer Patient Appreciation BBQ!

Have you heard about Poway Braces & Dr Thomas' Summer BBQ / outdoor Movie night coming this summer? We are planning a really fun event combining a BBQ with an Outdoor Movie in the Old Poway Park - next to the train on Midland Road. Our entire team at Poway Braces thank and sincerely appreciate our patients and their families who trust us with their smiles!

One way our orthodontic office shows our appreciation is through hosting events & give away prizes in our office. Last month we held a contest where the winner received a really cool guitar. Its never overlooked by Poway Braces that you have a choice for your orthodontist and we want to be the office you choose.


Please visit our web site at www.powaybraces.com to learn a lot more about who we are and what we are all about. Make sure to check out our blog on the web site as well - we have great information posted on it as well.



Thank you & stay tuned :)

We love great results!


All of us at Poway Braces love what we do for a living; literally transforming the lives of our patients. Kelley came to our practice after hearing from multiple sources that she required jaw surgery to correct her bite problem. Using the Damon System, Dr. Thomas was able to not only correct Kelley's bite, but also transform her smile filling out the corners of her mouth with arch development greatly enhancing her smile further. All of this was done without surgery. We are proud to offer children and adults options which include the benefits found with the Damon System - please visit our web site for more information as well as visiting www.damonbraces.com too!
