Before and After: Sergio

We love getting to share any and all of our patients' smile transformations.  It's so incredible for us to get to be a part of your lives in such a way.  But, it's really special for us to get be a part of this transformation for adults.  Sometimes adults think that they are too old for braces, or that they're too far past being able to change their smiles in such a way.

Sergio is visible proof that this is not even close to truth.  

Take a look at his smile before.  He's a good looking guy with a good smile, but looking close you can see a few things that he wanted to change.  There is a small gap between the front two teeth, and some issues in spacing and overcrowding.  

After a year of treatment at St. Clair's, Sergio was able to have the smile he wanted.  We love getting to see how great it looks on him now.  Take a closer look to see the changes:  the small gap between his front two teeth is gone, and the spacing issues have been corrected.  You can also tell a difference in his jaw line:  it's more defined and slightly more prominent than before.

Sergio's smile not only transformed his face, it also affected him in other ways:  he says that, "My new smile has given me more energy and confidence!  Everybody I run into now tells me what a great smile I have and how they wish their teeth looked as good as mine.  That's when I tell them that St. Clair Orthodontics works magic!"

We don't know that we're exactly magicians, but we do love getting to be a part of giving patients the smile they've always wanted.  We loved getting the chance to work with Sergio, and we would love to do the exact same thing for you!  

Meet Paula

At St. Clair Orthodontics, our specialty is bringing smiles to our patients' faces.  Most of the time, this work solely involves orthodontic treatment.  But sometimes our patients come with needs beyond their teeth.  That's where Paula Black comes in.

Paula is our Chaplain and Patient Relation Coordinator.  She has been with St. Clair's for five years, and her work with us has involved building relationships with any of our patients that might be hurting and need prayer, compassion, and concern.

When she's not caring for patients in our office, Paula loves spending her time with family and friends.  Her favorite past-time used to be riding motorcycles with her husband (can you picture her as a motorcycle mama?), but then she says that age and wisdom took over and she decided it was a little too dangerous for her.

Now her favorite way to spend her time outside of the office is by going with friends to watch girly movies.  One of her favorite actresses is Sandra Bullock, not just for her acting abilities, but also for the fact that she is caring and confident as a person, actress, and mother.  She also loves going to a good Chinese restaurant with her husband or friends.

Because she and her husband have family scattered far and wide, they get to travel a lot.  She loves going to Kauai, Hawaii and the Bahamas to see her daughters and their families (we still haven't been able to convince her to take our office staff yet, but we're working on it!).

We're so thankful to have Paula in our office.  The next time you come in for an appointment, be sure and tell her hi!  And if you need someone to talk to about anything, know that she's here for you!
