Orthodontist Assistant Training

Want a career where you can help make people smile? No, you don’t have to be an actor or an athlete. You can help create great smiles in a career as an Orthodontic Assistant.

As an Orthodontic Assistant, you can help orthodontists create winning smiles while correcting patients’ dental displacements and overbites. Your day-to-day duties will include things like welcoming patients to the office, taking patient histories, and preparing exam rooms. You’ll also help with a variety of clinical and administrative tasks, to help keep the office running efficiently, giving patients the best possible experience at the orthodontist (and maybe making them smile along the way!)
