Poway BBQ / Movie Night A Huge Hit!

Poway Braces:

We had over 500 terrific families and friends join us for our first BBQ / Movie Night in the Park & it was fantastic! A Big Thank you to everyone who came & shared in our fun. The weather was perfect, no wind, the Face Painter Clown did an incredible job, Rob the DJ was perfect, the special demonstration by Master Huong with his team with Tae Kwon do including board breaking was wild, and of course, the movie "Alice in Wonderland" was very realistic watching it between the trees.

Thank you Poway! Dr. Thomas and his entire team thank Poway and all surrounding area's for the privilege of providing orthodontic care to your families.

Fun in Dr. Thomas' Office!

Yes, at times we get a little crazy at Poway Braces! What's more important than being able to smile, laugh, and have a crazy fun time. Sooooooooo, Jeremy dared Dr. Thomas to jump on his back to take a picture......Now that was fun! today was a lot of fun - we removed 7 peoples braces and made sure they found the pop corn machine & the freshly baked cookies!!

Your Braces are Off!!

We get so excited when we remove our patients braces. Its a super fun day, we get to compare what someones smile and bite looked like when we started, and to compare to how nice they look when the braces come off. Poway braces and Dr. Thomas take great pride in providing high quality service and results.

Our team uses the state of the art Damon Braces - which provide results far nicer, easier, and with fewer appointments than before when our office used traditional braces.

Dr. Thomas stays on top of the newest advances in Orthodontics attending three times as many continuing education courses a year by the California State Board. He is also invited to speak in locations all over the US, Puerto Rico, Canada, and South America.

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.

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.

Poway Braces Round Table Pizza Night

All of us at Poway Braces had a GREAT time hosting Pizza night last week! Over 300 patients of our practice joined us for an all you can eat salad bar & pizza courtesy of Dr. Thomas & his team. We work in a wonderful profession, one that gives us the opportunity to not only take are of people's braces and teeth, but to also become a part of your family.

It's a privilege for us to get to know our patients and their families & we humbly appreciate how much the Inland North County community thanks us by consistently referring friends and family to our office for orthodontic treatment.

Computerized Custom Braces and Wires

In this age of high technology, can you believe we are just now coming out with Computerized Custom Damon Braces and Wires for our orthodontic patients? This technology has been used by Invisalign - and everyone's heard of them right?? PowayBraces and Dr. Thomas are excited to promote the most advanced high tech method in the Orthodontic Field.

"Insignia" is a revolution for Braces! Visit its web site and read what you think for yourself:

http://www.insigniasmile.com

What is Insignia you may ask? Simply put, it's a system whereby Orthodontists are able to put a 100% accurate model of your teeth into a software program and then correct your bite even before you've started treatment. Once your ideal bite has been achieved within the software, custom Damon Braces are then made for each individual tooth - something never before possible. In doing this, we are able to customize your treatment precisely - solving crowding / spacing problems and enabling treatment completion as quickly, comfortably, and detailed as you deserve.

Dr Thomas and his team at powaybraces are certified providers of Insignia and can share with you how it works and show you specific examples of treated patients. Check out our web site to find much more detail about us and the advanced technology we provide!

• Insignia can reduce your treatment time by up to 25%
• Insignia advances the science and art of braces beyond capabilities seen with traditional braces
• Insignia helps develop a precise treatment plan for your specific unique needs
