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 ;). 

Before and After: Ty Crownover

When Ty Crownover first came to us, his smile was a little less than perfect.  He had a gap between his front teeth, and his teeth were somewhat crooked and misaligned.  

If you take a closer look at Ty's teeth, you'll also notice how they slant in toward the center of his mouth quite a bit.  While some slanting is normal for everyone, too much can cause problems with spacing and overcrowding.  

The transformation after Ty's treatment is incredible.  The gap is gone, and his teeth are even and aligned perfectly.  If you look closely, you will see that the slanting has been corrected as well.

It's incredible the way Ty's treatment has completely transformed his face.  He definitely has the kind of smile you don't forget easily.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your smile transformation, Ty.  We enjoyed working with you so much!

Meet Coren!

Coren DeFoor is an Orthodontic Assistant at our Clovis office.  She has been with us for about six months, and we have loved getting to know her.  She comes to us after having been one of our patients.  Coren says that after her treatment, she knew she wanted to be a part of her team.  More than anything, she wants all of our Clovis patients to know that she really cares about each of them and has their comfort most in mind.

Her favorite part of working with our office is the interaction she has with all of our patients.  They are her favorite part of her work.  When she's not at work, she loves to spend time with her family.  Her sister, Lacey, has also been one of our patients, and parents are close as well.  Her father works for the railroad and her mother works for the county.  And her new husband, Tyler, works for the Sheriff's Department, and they are currently working to remodel their house together. 

She has always wanted to visit Italy and hopes to cross it off of her bucket list someday.  She also enjoys going with friends to hunt, but she doesn't actually like to participate in the "hunting" herself--she's just in it for the beautiful scenery and the company she gets to keep.

Now that you know a little more about Coren, be sure to tell her the next time you see her in our office.  She'll love to get to know you more!  And be sure to give her a big Congratulations on her new marriage.  She made an incredibly beautiful bride!

Before and After: Brandi Vasquez

When Brandi Vasquez first came to us for orthodontic treatment, she was a beautiful girl with a beautiful smile.  However, she had some issues with overcrowding that really bothered her, as well as a growing overbite.

If you look closer, you'll also notice that she had some issues in alignment with her back teeth.  Over time this spacing problem could become more apparent if not corrected.

The transformation after treatment is incredible.  The overcrowding problems are gone, and have been replaced with straight, even teeth.  The protruding overbite has been pulled back, and the issues in alignment toward the back have been removed, leaving her teeth in a straighter line.

This change is evident in her smile.  It now lights up her entire face, and takes away some of the round look to her cheeks.  Her smile was beautiful before, but  now it really lights up her entire face.  It's impossible to see it and not want to smile back.

Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your smile transformation, Brandi.  We really enjoyed getting to know you!

Meet Brittney!

Brittney Dixon is an orthodontic assistants in our Clovis office, and has been part of our team there for over a year.  She comes to Clovis from Colorado where she went to Pikes Peak College and received a Dental Certification.

Her favorite thing about working at our office is that the staff has become like a second family to her.  And since her family is in many places, that's been a gift:  she has a fiancé, but her mother and younger brother live in Colorado, and her older brother lives in Georgia.  She also has two dogs that are just like family.

When Brittney isn't working, she enjoys being home with her dogs, snowboarding, and baking desserts (we try to get her to share as often as we can!).  She also says that she's a definite neat freak, vacuuming her floors and bleaching her counters almost every day.

When we asked her one thing she would want her patients to know, she said it would be, "If you see yellow snow, don't eat it!"

Before and After: Chase Brand

This month's before and after features Chase Brand.  Chase came to us pretty young, and his treatment that shows the advantage of starting braces treatment early.  Because his treatment was started at a younger age, he gets to enjoy all that is before him with an incredible smile.  

When Chase first came to us, he had a contagious smile, but he also had some issues with the spacing of his teeth.  It was clear that these problems were not ones that could possibly correct themselves someday.

Along with these spacing issues, you can also see a small problem with Chase's bite.  If you look closely toward the back of his mouth, you can tell that his bottom teeth tend to learn inward, toward the center of his mouth, rather than pointing straight.

The after pictures pretty much speak for themselves.  After braces, Chase's smile has no issues in spacing and alignment, and his bite has been straightened out more.

You've got a great smile, Chase!  Thank you for allowing us to be part of it!

Meet Angela!

Angela grew up in Clovis, NM.  After she graduated from Clovis High School, we went on to receive her DANB certification.  (A DANB certification stands for Dental Assistant National Board certification).

She became an orthodontist assistant at our Clovis office over two years ago, and we couldn't be happier that she's here.

When she isn't working, Anglea loves to spend time with her friends and family.  One of their favorite past-times is to watch movies together.  Angela loves a good seafood restaurant, and she says her all-time favorite get-away spot is Hawaii.

One of the things Angela most loves about her job is getting to be a part of the beautiful smile transformations that take place for our patients.

Have you met Angela?  If not, be sure and tell her hi they next time you're in our office!
