Gerber Orthopedic Finisher is used to correct Cl 2, Vertical and horizontal deficiencies. It has been used over the years to orthodontically treat those adults needing a stable occlusion but are locked into nighttime airway appliances.
Additional applications include: AP and severe vertical correction, finishing TMD patients to a stable occlusion, prior to braces and or clear aligners.
Dr. Jay calls passive self-ligating brackets (SLB) the most efficient choice to orthodontically treat the adult patient. He also uses SLBs for occlusal stabilization of the TMD patient.
Treatment time is often reduced by 25% or more in the adult.
Dr. Gerber's unique archwire system is essential.
The Best Adult Class 2 Appl. The Gerber Pull Forward is an improved version of the Stack appliance. Adults often have difficulty wearing Cl 2 correction and TMD appliances and this one works! It is much more comfortable thus resulting in treatment goals that are quickly reached. There is an easy transition from the GPF to SLB braces and/or clear aligners for final stabilization. Surgical correction is rarely needed in the patient that wears the "Gerber Pull-Forward".
