American Association of Orthodontists Meeting in DC


Wow, great times in our Nations Capital! Poway Braces & Dr. Thomas attended 4 full days worth of AAO classes and now are dining across from the White House of all places. Tonight we are visiting the Lincoln Memorial and the Kennedy Center – very exciting! Did you know Dr Thomas graduated from Georgetown Universities Dental school and Orthodontic programs in the Kennedy Center?
A few of our continuing education courses included up to date information about TMJ causes & potential future treatment methods, computerized patient customized treatment (Insignia), advances with early treatment for young children (6-8 yrs old), custom mouth guards with braces and treatment techniques using small temporary ancor devices to correct problems which used to require invasive jaw surgery.
