Why do I have to have pictures of my teeth taken at the orthodontist?

Why does Dr. Vinson take pictures of my teeth?

When you arrive at Dr. Vinson's office for your free consultation appointment. After checking in at the front desk,  I will begin the records process.  This process consists of pictures of your face as well as your teeth and an xray.  These pictures allow Dr. Vinson a visual aid to help explain the necessary treatment to you.   The facial pictures allow him to see the angles and symmentry of  your facial structure. The "teeth" pictures allow Dr, Vinson to evaluate the alignment and the bite.  You will also have pictures taken at the end of your treatment. It is so exciting to see the beautiful results from beginning to end!
