Before and After: Lori Carver

Lori Carver is perfect proof you're never too old for braces.  And one look at her beautiful smile goes on to show that your smile can become even more beautiful with age.

When Lori first came to our office, she had some problems with her smile:  because of some issues with spacing and alignment, her teeth had become overcrowded.  Some were pushed forward while others were forced backward.  The overcrowding had also caused her to have some spaces in places that they didn't belong.

Fast forward to the end of her treatment.  Her teeth are lined up almost perfectly, and the random spaces are gone.  Because her teeth are correctly aligned now, it also changes the way her individual teeth look.  When they were not in line, some of them stuck out and were more noticeable when they should be.

Now, though, the only thing you notice is her beautiful smile.  And we think it couldn't be more perfect.

When asked what Lori thought about her treatment, and whether or not she would recommend braces, here is what she said:

"I was much older than most when I got braces. I was a little hesitant about
getting them but the staff was so supportive and informative about the
process. They made me feel better about getting them. The treatment time
went by so fast and it was a fun day when they came off  because of the
removal celebration they do for each patient.  I would recommend braces for
anyone at any age."

We would love to help give you the perfect smile you've always wanted!  Come see us today!

Meet Becky Moore!

Our featured staff member for the month of September is Bekcy Moore.  Becky has worked in our office for 18 years.  She worked here for six years, and then took a break to be  at home with her kids while they were still little.  She came back to work with us in 2000 this summer marked her 12th year with us.

Becky is our Lab Technician.  Her job is to make almost all of the appliances our office uses:  clear retainers, whitening trays, Damon and TMJ splints, space maintainers, expansion appliances, and many more.  Not only does Becky love getting to work with her hands, she loves the people she gets to work with at our office, and she loves our patients even more.  She says that one of her favorite things about her job is getting to help transform the smiles and the lives of our patients.

Becky grew up in Clovis, NM and graduated from Clovis High School.  She loves spending time with her family:  her husband Barry and their three children, Erin, Emily, and Nathan.  They are very active in their church (trinity Church) and really enjoy working with college students.  They try to encourage them to love God and to commit their ways into His plan for their lives.

When she's not spending time with family, working, or volunteering with her church, Becky spends her time cooking, gardening, and traveling.  .  Her favorite vacation spot has been the Oregon Coast.  She says that the Pacific Northwest is absolutely beautiful  with so many interesting places to enjoy and see.

If Becky could meet any celebrity, she would choose Laura Bush.  She thinks the former First Lady was a great role model, and Becky admires the way she was an advoate for literacy and children's education, as well as the way she carried herself during the time her husband was President.  

We hope you enjoyed getting to know more about Becky.  The next time you're in the office, be sure to tell her hi!
