Academy of Orthodontic Assisting – Level II

Welcome to the Academy of Orthodontic Assisting expanded program.  This program – The Level II – Advanced program, authored by a practicing orthodontist, also includes compilations and techniques from leading orthodontic consultants Lori Garland Parker and Andrea Cook. Combined, over 50 years of clinical experience is captured in the second addition of the Academy of Orthodontic Assisting.

Designed for the more experienced clinical assistants, the Level II program brings a more advanced curriculum to the orthodontic profession.  As the Level I program builds on the universal fundamentals, the Level II program focuses on more modern day specifics such as TADs and Soft Tissue Lasers for example.

As part of the Academy of Orthodontic Assisting, the Level II program adds a didactic dimension that is unavailable anywhere in the marketplace.  As with all of our courses, core curriculum is followed with testing and scoring to validate comprehension.  Users will also gain continuing education credits for completion of the Level II program.
