About Us

Welcome to St. Clair & Massey Orthodontics

Where your smile is our signature!

Dr. James St. Clair and Dr. C.C. Massey are committed to excellence in all things, especially when it comes to your smile. We believe that our impact is much more than just our “signature smile”; we love helping people find the smile within themselves. We do this by striving to exceed each patient’s expectations throughout treatment. We care for the individual behind the smile, and in doing so, we help patients increase their self-worth and confidence along the way.

In the past 43 years, our practice has seen multiple generations of families. We’ve built a reputation for being involved with the community, being leaders in the community, and having fun both in and out of the office.

We have a commitment to using the most up-to-date technology, and offer several treatment options designed with our patients’ signature smile in mind. This includes:

Damon® System self-ligating braces
Invisalign® clear aligners
Acceledent® Aura appliance
On Time Appointments

We invite you to take some time to tour our office location, or read through our testimonials to see what our patients have to say! Please feel free to contact our Lubbock orthodontic office to schedule a complimentary consultation with our doctors. We look forward to welcoming you into the St. Clair and Massey Orthodontics family!

Meet Our Doctors

Dr. James St. Clair is not only committed to clinical excellence, but he is passionate about creating a fun, caring environment that will help all patients feel loved and encouraged to be their best. He feels that clinical excellence is the foundation that this practice is built upon, but a patient will experience much more than orthodontic care at St. Clair and Massey Orthodontics. The patient will notice a customer service experience where “time” is honored and each patient is valued.Dr. James on Google+
