Orthodontic TMD Case Finishing
Getting Off the Splint / Orthosis
Dr. Jay Gerber, Director of Instruction
This course will focus on the use of NFO mechanics to achieve a functional
stable and esthetics demanded by modern orthodontics. By learning these
diagnostic and treatment mechanics, you will discover why NFO is the
choice of clinicians needing to orthodontically stabilize their TMD cases
and thus get the patient off of a full-time, removable intra-oral appliance.
Goal: To learn the Neuromuscular Principles of Orthodontic Stabilization Mechanics required for successful patient outcomes after phase one
treatment. Participants will discover what appliances and how to use them
to finish to a stable occlusion.
Objectives:
 Participants will discover the orthodontic techniques, mechanics
and procedures required for a stable completed occlusion after Phase 1.
 Participants will learn the techniques, mechanics and procedures
required for a stable completed occlusion after orthodontics.
 By utilizing specific training, the participant will learn the correct
clinical application of NFO mechanics.
 Learn orthodontic mechanics that is compatible with neuromuscular
principles of occlusion.
 Participants will learn to diagnose and develop treatment plans.
 Participants will discover and learn how to use the various appliances
used in NFO.
 To motivate the dental team to institute clinical applications.
In the early 1990’s Dr. Jay Gerber first introduced
the concepts of a true neuromuscular approach to
orthodontic treatment. Since that time hundreds of
doctors and thousands of patients have benefited
due to this remarkably stable and functional technique. In this exclusive course with Dr. Jay you
will learn which patients to rehabilitate and maintain in your practice, which ones to maintain with
an orthotic and which ones to refer.
Dr. Gerber has developed and refined many of the
appliances and treatment techniques that he covers in the course including the Gerber PullForward, Gerber NM Orthotic, Gerber Finisher
and more. He has served as a consultant to dental
laboratories and orthodontic manufacturers. Dr.
Jay has instructed classes on Neuromuscular dentistry including the use of the Myotronics instrumentation for over 20 years. Dr. Jay has conducted a TMD/Occlusion mini residency in his office
since 1993.

Advisement Statement:
Doctors/staff personnel are strongly cautioned when incorporating new techniques
and procedures into their practice - especially when a session may have provided the
participant with limited knowledge. Continued long-term attendance in learning
programs, hands-on typodont projects, in-office clinical observations and study group
participation are highly recommended to help attain competence.
