Academy of Orthodontic Assisting

 

It’s no secret that staff training and retention are the most challenging components of running a successful orthodontic practice. Doctors, Office Managers and Clinical Managers repeatedly share with us the constant frustration that is associated with teaching new team members the essentials of orthodontics. The Academy of Orthodontic Assisting was designed for that single purpose.

Our goal is simple: Provide the universal fundamentals and let your team focus on the unique systems and processes of your practice.

 

2 Levels of Training for Your Team

 

The Level I program covers the fundamentals of orthodontics. Since 1998 this program has been used to train clinical team members around the U.S. and abroad with thousands of assistants completing the course. Authored by a practicing orthodontist with more than two decades of experience, the Level I program strives to educate your team on the science of orthodontics. Instead of just learning the “hows,” your team will learn the “whys.”

View the Level I Topics page for a complete list of materials covered.

The Level II or Advanced program combines the knowledge of more than 50 years of clinical experience. 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 of orthodontics, the Level II program focuses on more modern day specifics such as TADs and Soft Tissue Laser procedures.

The Level II program combines the knowledge of Dr. Doug Depew, Trapezio Founder and Level I author, with compilations and techniques from leading orthodontic consultants Lori Garland Parker and Andrea Cook.
