History
Established in 2000.
Joy of Orthodontics builds on more than 20 years of service to the Clayton and Wake Forest communities. Formerly known as Vinson Orthodontics, the practice earned a strong reputation for quality care and a welcoming atmosphere. In 2025, Dr. Joy Gerasco assumed ownership with the goal of honoring that legacy while elevating the patient experience through modern technology, clearer communication, and a warm, hospitality-focused approach. Though the name is new, the commitment remains the same: providing exceptional orthodontic care for children, teens, and adults in a friendly, supportive environment.
