Dr, Thomas has seen 3 of my children through full braces. We tried another Orthodontist with the second child who needed braces and the hardware was so painful we had to have them removed within a month. The method he uses leaves perfect teeth and an attractive jawline. My 2 sons are very close to having their braces removed and their teeth look perfect. Dr. Thomas actually gets excited about the good results he creates. I'd highly reccomend him to anybody in the Poway area.
