In August we held our annual Gerety Advanced Orthodontic Treatment Mechanics Symposium and dedicated this year as a tribute to Big Bob Gerety and his enormous contribution to GP orthodontics. Since his greatest reward for teaching orthodontics was seeing the excellent results his students achieved for their patients, this year couldn't have been a better time to introduce our first Robert G Gerety Case of the Year Award. As a Celebration of Excellence we invited each of our participants to bring their best case to present at the symposium, and we are so pleased to announce that the first recipient of our Case of the Year Award is Dr. Gary Blaich from Coffeyville, KS. There are many qualities and factors that are necessary for excellence in orthodontic case finishing, determination, attention to detail, persistence, and the dedication to maintain the highest standards possible as taught by Big Bob. Big Bob Gerety excelled at case finishing and has set the bar very high. He has also proven that his superior results are repeatable by his students who are using the Gerety philosophy and techniques and are achieved with consistency and predictability. We are so proud to be able to honor our ...
Soaring to New Heights and to Orthodontic Excellence About the Course In order to fine tune and detail orthodontic cases we must be willing to spend a little extra time, closely examine every minute detail, and completely understand the system of case finishing mechanics: 6 Keys to Optimal Occlusion. This 2 day program will focus on beginning to finishing mechanics and utilizing the proper tools to best resolve the issues in the most effective manner. Just as a pilot has his procedures to follow, we will present our proven techniques to help you achieve new heights and soar to case finishing excellence.

We are excited this year to have introduced Myobrace as a new adjunct therapy into our comprehensive orthodontic education program. The implementation of Myobrace treatment into our continuing education program will give our doctors an additional protocol for interceptive treatment. The beauty of this is that the treatment can be started at such an early age to deal with mouth breathing, snoring, gummy smiles, constricted arches, crowding in primary dentition, speech problems, etc. Patient compliance is the key and this compliance requires constant encouragement and motivation. Another key and bonus is that the majority of the management of the protocol can and should be delegated to your staff. We are excited to make this part of our comprehensive orthodontic training.
In this video we have a panel discussion on what Myobrace is and why we decided to make it a part of our system. We hope you get a lot of value out of it. Mark your calendars for our Annual Gerety Advanced Mechanics Meeting in Tulsa August 10-11, 2018, we will be presenting in depth how Myobrace integrates into our interceptive treatment philosophy.

We are very excited to present a completely restructured Basic Orthodontic course for the dental auxiliary Due to the increased usage of third party ceph tracing services and digital tracing software, we have removed the clinical portion of ceph tracing from the two day program. This will allow more time to focus on the clinical procedures that will better serve the doctor in their day to day delivery of patient care. We listened to your requests and have introduced a clinical photography module to the basic program. Our goal is to teach proper techniques and procedures for producing consistent high quality images for orthodontic documentation. Each office that is represented is encouraged to bring their camera in order for us to customize their procedures and settings. Multiple stations are set-up in the classroom so that each assistant can produce a complete set of images that meet the standard of care guidelines.
