As an orthodontic provider, your top priority must always be to give your patients the best, high-quality orthodontic care. It s your main concern as a dental health care professional, and it is a sign of a good orthodontic provider that patient care is the focus. However, running a clinic or a business is not only about the services you give your patients. It is also about making them feel comfortable and ensuring they receive treatment in a warm and friendly environment. This intangible factor will make a huge impact on whether patients choose to stay with your practice or not. You should consider this beginning with the moment that a patient calls to book an appointment; the receptionist should offer a calm and friendly tone, or the patient may feel intimidated or annoyed. Note that patients will always compare the services you offer to other services in the area. How do you ensure that you offer patients the best dental treatment plan available How do you create a dental office that your patients will recommend to friends and share on social media platforms To create the best patient experience, our experts at Gerety Orthodontic Seminars would like to guide ...

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 ...
The lip bumper is a vital part of many orthodontic treatment plans for children and youth. In basic terms, the appliance is a wire partially coated in plastic. The lip bumper is hooked onto a molar at each end, and the wire lines the front side of the lower teeth. By stretching or widening the arch of the lower jaw, the lip bumper creates more space in the mouth for the permanent adult teeth to erupt. Use of the lip bumper to create necessary space is preferred to the extraction of teeth. The lip bumper is primarily used in cases of mixed dentition, meaning that the child has both primary baby and permanent adult teeth in the mouth. Often, the best time for use of the lip bumper is when the permanent molars first erupt, and the primary molars are still present in the mouth. A lip bumper is less often indicated in adults. At first, the appliance ties in place and removing it will not be possible. In time, our GOS experts may untie the bumper and allow it to be removed when brushing and flossing the teeth. Sometimes, you will need to wear the bumper at nights only. ...
