Dental Assistant 2 Orthodontic Assistant™
A masterclass for orthodontic assistant training.
A great dental assistant doesn't automatically know ortho. (It's really not the same!) This entry-level course teaches your assistants the terms, appliances, and procedures, plus the "why" behind every step.
Your clinical assistants deserve to know the why.
Three pillars that take a new assistant from guessing to knowing, and keep your clinic running on time.
Clinical training
Orthodontic terminology, procedures, and appliances, with the "why" behind every part of the assistant's scope of work.
Group collab
See what other offices are doing clinically, and why, so you can bring the best ideas back to your own chairs.
Best practices
A proactive approach to clinical efficiency, so the doctor isn't waiting and your patients aren't either.
11 modules that cover everything chairside.
From terminology to bonding, each module stands on its own, so new assistants can learn in order and veterans can jump to what they need.

Don't take our word for it.
Highly recommend
"I love every class these lovely women present. They are informative, helpful and educational. I have used many aspects from their classes in my office to improve processes and treatment from front desk to the clinic and more! Plus the classes are affordable! Highly recommend taking all these classes!"
Great for the whole office
"Excellent and informative for not just assistants, but everyone in the office. I would highly recommend from the treatment coordinator and front desk to help learn treatment plans, appliances, etc to help them be able to more correctly communicate a patient’s ortho treatment!"

Answers, before you ask.
Do I need dental assisting experience before taking this course?+
Nope! This is an entry-level introduction to clinical orthodontic assisting. It's also great for TCs and front office team members who want to understand clinical terms and procedures so they can talk to patients with confidence.
How long does the course take?+
It's self-paced, with about 6 hours of content. How long it takes depends on how quickly you move through each module.
What skills will I learn?+
Orthodontic terminology, common appliances, and step-by-step overviews of bonding and other clinical procedures. The big focus is clear expectations and efficiency as a clinical orthodontic assistant.
Will I learn how to work with braces and aligners?+
Yes! You'll learn the foundations and best practices for both. The course doesn't include hands-on training, so assistants practice the clinical techniques in their own office.
Will this course give me an OAP license?+
No. An OAP license requires hands-on training, so this course doesn't provide one. But it is taught by an OAP-certified instructor!
Can I take the course while working full-time?+
Absolutely. It's on-demand and self-paced, so you can work through the modules whenever it fits. Lots of assistants do it during non-patient or non-doctor hours.

Yes. After completing the course, you'll be invited to the private twoCREW Alumni Facebook Group for ongoing support, collaboration, and questions with assistants across the country.
What does it cost, and can my whole team join?+
