Before and After: Mary Beth Sandercox


We love looking at the transformation of Mary Beth Sandercox's smile.  When she came to our office, she was a young girl with a great smile that needed just a little bit to make it extraordinary.


When you look at her smile before, you'll notice that she came to us as her teeth were really beginning to mature.  As her adult teeth came in, they had a few problems.


Most of her teeth came in pretty crooked.  If you take a close look at her gum line, you can see that her gum doesn't form a straight line as it would normally.  She has teeth that are coming in crooked, and if you look toward the back of her mouth, you can also see that her teeth angle in toward the center of her mouth quite a bit.  

Mary Beth's case is a great example of why it's important to start braces treatment as adult teeth are maturing.  It can help them come in correctly, rather than trying to correct them if they come in misaligned.


If you take a close look at her smile after treatment, you will be amazed at the transformation.  Her teeth are more mature, and now they are more aligned.  Look at her gum line:  it's now perfectly straight.  

Take another look at her back teeth:  before, they slanted in too much toward the center of her mouth. Now, they have great alignment, and her bite has held together perfectly.


When you look at the way her smile now, the change is amazing.  It lights up her entire face and eyes, and is absolutely perfect.  

We love your smile, Mary Beth!  Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your transformation!

Meet Nanci!



Nanci Iglesias began working for us in July 2011, and in the past two years she has worn many hats for our team.  She helps with BTs, IBS impressions and pour-ups, as well as 3-D imaging records, x-rays and cleaning impression trays.

Before she worked at St. Clair and Massey, she attended San Antonio College for Medical and Dental Assistants, and completed in 2000.  She was recommended to our office by her former employer, and she has been worthy of every good word spoken about her.

One of Nanci's favorite things about joining our office is getting to know everyone on our team.  We pride ourself on hiring incredible staff members, and we love to hear that they enjoy each other as much as we enjoy them.

Nanci and her husband Jeff have one cat and one dog, and they are expecting their first child any day now!  She and her husband enjoy traveling and exploring new places, and her newest favorite past time is getting everything ready for the newest addition to their family.

Nanci also enjoys country music and can't wait to revisit San Fransisco someday.  She has been there once for quick work trip, but wasn't able to fully experience all the city has to offer.  Some day she wants to return to take in the food, people, and attractions as much as possible.

One random fact that many may not know about Nanci is that she is a masterful speller, and always finds herself mentally correcting any misspellings she finds online or in text messages.  The next time you see her, she would love it if you would tell her hi.  Just make sure to spell everything correctly if you write a note ;).
