Orthodontic Therapy

When can I apply for Orthodontic Therapy?

Once you have an agreement with a Specialist Orthodontist who is prepared to train you, and supervise you.

Do I need any qualifications (other than my dental nurse / hygienist / therapist one) in order to apply for Orthodontic Therapy?

It is preferable that you have an orthodontic nurse qualification. Qualifications such as radiography and impression taking are also useful.

I don’t work in an Orthodontic Practice, can I train?

You need to have a Specialist Orthodontist to train you and supervise you, and you need to be working a minimum of 21-hours (clinically) in an Orthodontic practice.

Can you find me a trainer, or be my trainer?

No. We can advise regular trainers of your interest, but most trainers choose to train an individual with whom they have developed a working relationship with, something that it is preferable in our experience.

“This is my first course since qualifying as a dental nurse – wish I had done this sooner! I have learnt much more than I thought possible. Tutors are excellent and course very well led. Thank you!”

“Very enjoyable, brilliant teaching skills and I’ve learned a lot about fluoride that i wasn’t aware of! I actually can’t wait to be back next week!”
