What is an Orthodontic RDA?

An Orthodontic Registered Dental Assistant (RDA) is a dental professional who assists orthodontists in providing care to patients who need braces or other orthodontic appliances. Orthodontic RDAs perform a variety of tasks, including preparing patients for procedures, taking dental impressions, sterilizing instruments, and providing oral hygiene instructions. They work under the supervision of a licensed orthodontist and help ensure that orthodontic treatments run smoothly and efficiently.
