The
goal of Dr. Gerber’s extended comprehensive Orthodontic Program is
to effectively integrate orthodontics into the general or pediatric
practice. For over 20 years he has successfully taught thousands of
dentists in this rewarding discipline. Orthodontics has always been recognized as high
profit area for pediatric dentists and now general dentists are also
finding out about the benefits of adding this rapid growth
area. You can take the introductory course or begin at the master's
level if you already provide orthodontic services.
