We welcome both experienced orthodontic assistants and motivated entry-level candidates who are reliable, professional, eager to learn, and interested in building a long-term career in orthodontics.
Our office culture is centered on kindness, teamwork, accountability, reliability, and excellent patient care.
Position Overview
The Orthodontic Assistant will support the doctor during clinical procedures, help maintain efficient patient flow, and create a positive experience for patients and families.
Experienced candidates should be comfortable performing core orthodontic-assisting duties independently. Entry-level candidates will receive hands-on training and will be expected to steadily develop their clinical skills.

Prepare treatment areas, instruments, materials, and supplies
Take orthodontic photographs and digital X-rays when trained and authorized
Perform iTero digital scans
Complete digital charting and clinical documentation
Assist with braces, aligners, appliances, bonding, debonding, and retainers according to training and experience
Follow sterilization, infection-control, and safety protocols
Maintain clean, organized, and properly stocked clinical areas
Support smooth patient seating, treatment, and dismissal
Communicate professionally with patients, parents, the doctor, and team members
Follow established clinical protocols and office policies
Occasionally assist with patient engagement, community events, or marketing initiatives
Qualifications
Dependable and consistent attendance
Positive and professional attitude
Strong communication and interpersonal skills
Good time-management and organizational skills
Ability to learn quickly and follow clinical protocols
Ability to work effectively as part of a team
Willingness to accept feedback and develop new skills
Commitment to excellent patient care
Orthodontic or dental assisting experience is preferred but not required. We are willing to train the right entry-level candidate.
Current CPR and X-ray certifications are preferred. Candidates without the necessary certifications must be willing and able to obtain them within the timeframe established by the practice.

Previous orthodontic or dental assisting experience
Experience taking digital records and orthodontic photographs
Experience using an iTero scanner
Experience with digital charting

Experience working in a fully digital dental or orthodontic practice
Compensation
$20.00–$35.00 per hour
Pay is based on orthodontic or dental experience, certifications, clinical ability, reliability, and overall fit
Entry-level candidates will generally begin toward the lower portion of the range. Experienced candidates with advanced orthodontic skills and the ability to work independently may qualify for the higher portion of the range.
