Before and After: Grant Sandercox


Grant Sandercox began his braces treatment fairly young.  His adult teeth had almost all come in, with a few problems.  His parents hoped that, by beginning his treatment early, he would be available to have a great smile without any problems when he was older.



If you take a closer look at Grant's smile before braces, you can see some of the reasons his parents wanted to begin his treatment:  several teeth are crooked, he has issues with misalignment, and he has some problems with his bite.  Some of his bottom teeth line up inside his upper teeth, while a few point outside them.  Problems with spacing and alignment can sometimes lead to more cavities down the road, so it was wise for him to begin treatment early!


The time spent in treatment was more than worth it.  Grant's teeth are spaced perfectly, with the upper two teeth now right in the center of his mouth.  His alignment and bite have both been fixed.  Even with just a glance, you can't help but notice that his smile is incredible!


Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your smile story, Grant.  You were a great patient, and it was an honor to work with you!

Meet Vicki

We would love to introduce you to Vicki Tipton.  Vicki is a Scheduling Coordinator at our Clovis office.  She has been with us for almost 4 years, and is an invaluable member of our Clovis team.  

When we asked Vicki what she loves the most about her job, her response was "Everything".  She loves and appreciates our awesome Clovis patients, as well as the people she works with in our office.  We know our staff there love and appreciate her so much as well.

When she's not at the office, Vicki loves spending time with her family.  She has been married to her husband for 33 years, and together they have six beautiful kids.  She enjoys hunting and reading a good book (just not at the same time!), and someday she would love to visit Maine.

Vicki says if there is one thing she would want to tell our patients, is that she wants them to know how much she enjoys and appreciates them.  We couldn't agree with her more!

The next time you're in our office, be sure and tell Vicki hi.  We know it will make her day!
