What I'm looking for

I am looking for a supportive team environment where I can utilize my skills in patient care and orthodontics while continuing to grow professionally.

I am a dedicated orthodontic assistant with extensive experience in providing exceptional patient care and technical support in various orthodontic practices. My journey in this field has allowed me to develop a strong proficiency in chairside assistance, initial records appointments, and lab work, including the creation of appliances and retainers. I take pride in my ability to forge meaningful connections with patients, guiding them through their orthodontic journey with empathy and professionalism.

Throughout my career, I have worked in several reputable orthodontic offices, where I honed my skills in using advanced technologies such as Itero for scanning and Invisalign. My experience includes managing patient documentation, ensuring sterilization protocols, and maintaining compliance with OSHA standards. I am also well-versed in various orthodontic software, including Dentrix, TOPS, and OrthoTrac, which enhances my efficiency in scheduling and patient management.

As a highly motivated team player, I thrive in fast-paced environments and am committed to delivering optimal patient care. I am eager to bring my expertise and passion for orthodontics to a new clinical team, where I can continue to grow and contribute positively to patient experiences.
