Before and After: Chase Brand


This month's before and after features Chase Brand.  Chase came to us pretty young, and his treatment that shows the advantage of starting braces treatment early.  Because his treatment was started at a younger age, he gets to enjoy all that is before him with an incredible smile.  

When Chase first came to us, he had a contagious smile, but he also had some issues with the spacing of his teeth.  It was clear that these problems were not ones that could possibly correct themselves someday.

Along with these spacing issues, you can also see a small problem with Chase's bite.  If you look closely toward the back of his mouth, you can tell that his bottom teeth tend to learn inward, toward the center of his mouth, rather than pointing straight.

The after pictures pretty much speak for themselves.  After braces, Chase's smile has no issues in spacing and alignment, and his bite has been straightened out more.

You've got a great smile, Chase!  Thank you for allowing us to be part of it!

Meet Angela!


Angela grew up in Clovis, NM.  After she graduated from Clovis High School, we went on to receive her DANB certification.  (A DANB certification stands for Dental Assistant National Board certification).

She became an orthodontist assistant at our Clovis office over two years ago, and we couldn't be happier that she's here.

When she isn't working, Anglea loves to spend time with her friends and family.  One of their favorite past-times is to watch movies together.  Angela loves a good seafood restaurant, and she says her all-time favorite get-away spot is Hawaii.

One of the things Angela most loves about her job is getting to be a part of the beautiful smile transformations that take place for our patients.

Have you met Angela?  If not, be sure and tell her hi they next time you're in our office!
