Embracing a New Era
A well-trained and motivated staff is essential to the successful incorporation of orthodontics into your practice. Orthodontic records and data gathering is 100% delegable to the trained dental auxiliaries as well as a tremendous amount of other duties relating to orthodontics. You can’t afford to miss out on the opportunity to train your staff to accept these responsibilities.
Robin offers her Basic Orthodontic Training for Assistants course in Nashville just once each year, so don’t miss this opportunity! This 2 day course offers 13 hours of continuing education and is taught on a beginning level, structured for assistants, hygienists and associates who are new to orthodontics and/or the Straight Wire Technique.
This program is a perfect complement to offices utilizing Dr. Robert Gerety’s technique. However, Robin’s knowledge of orthodontics in the general practitioner’s office and her experience as a clinician means she has valuable insight for any assistant and communicates with them well. Whether you are a former student of Dr. Bob Gerety, Dr. Joe Schmidbauer, or use another protocol, this course will make your staff more productive in your practice.
