These skills and tools are crucial for delivering high-quality orthodontic care and achieving optimal patient outcomes.

What is an Orthodontic Associate?

An Orthodontic Associate is a licensed dental professional who works under the supervision of a lead orthodontist to diagnose, prevent, and treat dental and facial irregularities, such as misaligned teeth and jaws. They help plan and implement treatment, apply braces or other corrective appliances, and monitor patient progress. Orthodontic Associates may also manage patient records, educate patients about oral hygiene, and work closely with dental assistants and administrative staff. This role is typically found in private orthodontic practices or larger dental clinics.
