  Orthodontic TrackThe 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.
