Fun, Classes, & Tours

What a great day today! Dr Thomas & his wife Scarlett spent most of the day attending advanced courses on Orthodontics while attending the AAO meeting (see previous posts). Monday morning, Scarlett was honored by the American Association of Orthodontists giving an hour lecture on Practice Marketing called A market driven approach to case acceptance. Over 200 attending staff and doctors listened to Scarlett present her material. She did an outstanding job! Her room was packed with Standing room only!!! We are proud of you Scarlett

Great Weather in DC

Just landed in Washington D.C. for the annual American Association of Orthodontists meeting. We are excited to see old friends, learn new updated information from researchers, and visit new sites and locations in the D.C area. Poway Braces & Dr Thomas pride themselves on attending continuing education courses throughout the year - staying up to date on new developments in our field. California requires Orthodontists to attend at least 50 hours of continuing education every two years. Dr. Thomas typically attends over 50 hours of continuing education each and every year- occasionally teaching courses himself. Is it important your Orthodontist stays on top of new research findings and developments? We believe it is!

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.

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.
