Case Finishing
 Presented by: Dr.Gerber       

COURSE GOALS… Your learning program will stress the importance of “Excellence in Case Finishing”. You will learn how to achieve the most ideal vertical and A-P correction in your cases. You will discover practical techniques for over-jet and over-bite correction, space closure and midline positioning. Additionally you will gain knowledge of techniques that relate orthodontics with fixed aesthetics and the mechanics needed in an efficient and timely manner. And you will gain special knowledge in the use of composite build-ups for mandibular advancement.
