A Parent's Perspective... Austin's Story (Part 1)
Vinson Orthodontics is excited to share with you a story of one our patients through the eyes of his mother.
"I know my son’s smile isn’t perfect. Some of his adult teeth are still growing in and so his teeth aren’t even. Some of them are turned a bit and the front two overlap a little. His dentist has been urging me to have him evaluated by an orthodontist for about 3 years. I finally decided it was time. At the orthodontist visit I learned he had a cross bite which means his lower arch is wider than his upper arch and his teeth do not meet properly.
When he was evaluated at Vinson Orthodontics, I learned that not only does he have a cross bite, but his front four teeth actually prevent him from biting down at all! None of his other teeth even touch! Dr Vinson to the rescue! First came the impressions. They take special molds, top and bottom and a wax bite which shows how his teeth fit and special x-rays. Everything is sent to the lab where they use computers to create a 3-D image of his bite. Then each bracket is custom-made to move each tooth into proper position. Dr Vinson was able to show me exactly what Austin’s smile will look like at the end of treatment. Where else can you can see exactly what you are going to get? We are very excited about the Insignia process.
It takes about 5 weeks for Austin’s kit to be manufactured to his specific needs. His braces will be one of a kind!"

April is National Mouthguard Month...Save Face!!
As spring approaches most patients begin a more active lifestyle. We recommend a mouthguard during sports and certain recreational activities, such as rollarblading and skateboarding. Our mouthguards cover the upper and lower teeth and can be trimmed to your comfort with regular household scissors. An orthodontic mouthguard can be picked up at our office at no additional charge. Do NOT wear the type of mouthguard that is heated and formed over teeth with braces. These can cause damage to your braces. If in doubt wear a mouthguard. its better to be safe than sorry!
Be Safe!!
