Before and After: Jamy Parker

When Jamy Parker came to us, she had gone through orthodontic treatment before.  However, her teeth had started to shift back to their previous position, and one of her front teeth was beginning to protrude.  

The result was that Jamy wasn't super confident in her smile.  She hesitated to smile too big because she didn't want people to notice her crooked front tooth.  So, she came to St. Clair Orthodontics for a consultation.

Because she previously had orthodontic treatment, Jamy was able to use Invisalign.  Her treatment time took less than a year, and the results were well worth every single minute.

She says, "I'm so happy to have my smile back! Invisalign was an easy and quick fix to my protruding front tooth.  I am no longer self-conscious and can smile a big smile."

Jamy's story is very similar to many of our patients who have gone through the Invisalign treatment process.  Most of these patients have had braces in the past, and so their estimated treatment time is less than a year (this will vary based on each case, but the time span is usually shorter than traditional braces.  Come see us for a consultation to find out how long your treatment would be!).

We loved the chance to be a part of Jamy's smile transformation.  She was such a great patient to work with, and we're so thankful for her kind words about our office and staff:

"Everyone at St. Clair was awesome, and your love for Christ shows in your service toward your patients.  Thanks, Dr. Massey, for making me smile again!"

Meet Cheri Hurley!

It's very likely that you've seen Cheri Hurley as you've come to our office for an appointment.  We hope you've had the chance to tell her hi, and talk to her for a bit.  But, if not, we'd love to take a second and introduce her to you.

Before coming to St. Clair's, Cheri grew up right here in the Lubbock area, on a farm by Shallowater.  She went to Trinity High School and then attended Midland College, where she received a degree in General Studies, and Texas Tech, where she received a degree in Human Development and Family Studies.  

Cheri has been one of our orthodontist assistants for a year and a half.  Her favorite thing about working with our office is the opportunity to meet so may people, as well as getting to work with so many different patients and cases.

When she's not at work getting to be around so many of you, Cheri loves being active.  She enjoys playing basketball, working out, doing water sports, and spending time with her friends.  If she gets to pick where she and her friends are going to eat, she said the answer is a no brainer:  Italian always wins.  Given the choice of where she would spend her time, she would choose the beach any day. (And with our cooler temperatures lately, who could blame her!)

Since she is so active, it just makes sense that one of the people she would most love to meet is Coach K (boys' head basketball Mike Krzyzewski from Duke University).  She sees him as a very influential person for our generation.  Not only has he been incredibly successful in his career at Duke, he is always very intentional in the lives of his players as athletes and as people.  

Now that you know a little more about Cheri, you should give her a big hello the next time you're in the office.  And if you happen to be a Duke fan, feel free to yell out "Go Blue Devils!" the next time you see her (chances are she'll yell right along with you!).
