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!

December 2012 Sharefish Mission Trip
Vinson Orthodontics is excited that Sharefish took a mission trip in December 2012 to Village of El Carrizo in Honduras. It was an opportunity to spend time with the villagers and make upcoming plans for 2013. Sharefish is excited to announce that they have hired their first Honduran employee, a young lady named Lizzy. She will be the liason between the families and children in El Carrizo and Sharefish. When the people of El Carrizo were asked where they needed help most, their unanimous answer was an education for their children. Lizzy will be an incredible key in the success of the educational process of the children and families in the village.
Sharefish is also excited to announce that they have purchased a small piece of land( about 8 acres) in El Carrizo to build a community learning center. This would be a place that could focus on their efforts to reach deeper into the community through a center with books, computers, games and other learning tools to enhance the educational opportunities for the children. This piece of land was purchased through donations but they still need help with donations to build and fill the community center with materials. Once the community center is built, it will be aptly named APRENDE CONMIGO (Learn with Me).
Please take the opportunity to learn more about the three children (Carlos, Angela and Yelsin) that Vinson Orthodontics is sponsoring. There will be opportunites to reach out to these children and their communities at our office in the upcoming year. We also hope to visit and meet these three children in the upcoming year.
For more information or to make a donation, please visit www.sharefish.org or watch the video below.

What happens if I lose or break my retainer?
Katie- orthodontic assistant at Vinson Orthodontics
If I lose or break my retainer, why do I have to have another mold taken? Why can't they just just use the mold from the previous retainer?
Yes you will need to have another mold taken. To further explain the answer to this question it is important you know exactly how the mold is used...A mold is used at our office to make a stone model of your teeth. A retainer is then made off of that stone model. The stone is very brittle and when the fabricated retainer is pulled from it pieces of the model break off. The model is no longer usable after that and is then thrown away. Another reason is if your teeth have shifted even the slightest bit from where they were when the initial model was taken, the new retainer will not fit.

Sharefish
Vinson Orthodontics is excited to have the opportunity to sponsor three children from El Carrizo, Honduras through Sharefish, a local non-profit organization. Angela, Yelsin and Carlos are now able to attend school and receive necessary resources for their families to ensure that they have the food and supplies they need to stay in school.
What is Sharefish?
Sharefish was started by 5 Raleigh “gringos” after mission trips to Honduras, one of the poorest countries in the world. They witnessed children living in a perpetual cycle of poverty. These children are unable to attend school as their families are unable to afford the materials.
Looking for ways to make a lasting impact, this small group created an organization to improve education, nutrition, housing, medical and economic opportunities in these impoverished communities. Sponsorships are created to put kids in school, build libraries to increase literacy and provide basic medical education.
How can you help?
Dr. Vinson and our team invite you to participate in opportunities and events at our office throughout the year to reach out to these children and their community. Information regarding these events will be available at our office , through our staff members and on our website.
Explore sharefish.org to find out more about sponsorships, donations or to be inspired to find your own way to be a Sharefish. Just share a little, that’s all it takes to make a lasting impression.
Have a Splendid Day!
Vinson Orthodontics
