Poway Braces & Beauty Queens

Did you know that our office has helped provide gorgeous smiles to at least 6 homecoming Queens, 4 Miss Poway's, and countless Best Smile teens over the last 10 years?? Dr William Thomas prides himself on providing the best possible Orthodontic care using state of the art braces, high tech and current techniques, to enable his patients to have the best possible results. When we do your braces, its not only just to have straight teeth, but also to enhance your smile to the fullest extent possible. This patient's final result would typically require jaw surgery to both widen her arches and to correct and close her open bite (front teeth separated)

What this means in everyday terms is that your teeth must match the outline of your lips, showing just enough gums, but not too much, make sure your smile is broad and wide so you do not have dark area's on the sides when you smile, and that your teeth are NOT brought back too far in your face. We not only care about what you look like today, but also when your 40, 50, and 60! If your teeth are brought back too far, either with headgear or extensive extractions of teeth, its possible your face can prematurely age. Dr Thomas carefully evaluates your smile, profile, position of your teeth in your face, to make sure they are in the best position possible for your face over the lifetime of your smile.

Our Poway and EastLake Orthodontic offices use approaches that minimize moving your teeth back, unless you cannot close your lips easily. One of the main reason's Dr Thomas chooses to have permanent teeth removed is to enable his patients to comfortably close their lips together without having to strain to close their mouth and lips. If your teeth are so far forward that you cannot close your lips comfortably, then it makes sense to bring the front teeth back, often requiring extractions of permanent teeth in these specific situations.

When you visit our website www.powaybraces.com, or come into our practice in either Poway or EastLake, Chula Vista - you will notice first hand Dr Thomas' attention to your smile, your face, and the position front to back of your front teeth for YOUR face. Dr. Thomas does not use 'average numbers' applied to your face, he uses your face to determine what is best for you!
