Orthodontic Assistant School of Atlanta:
Situated just off I-75 in Duluth, Georgia, The Orthodontic Assistant School of Atlanta provides an 8-week Orthodontic Assistants weekend course. This 64-hour program is designed to provide students with the "hands-on" training and experience you need to excel in the field of dental and orthodontic assisting. All classes are scheduled on Saturdays to accommodate working students, and are held in a practicing orthodontic office just north of Atlanta to provide a realistic learning environment. OASA is licensed by the Georgia Commission of Nonpublic Post-Secondary Education.
While a background in dentistry is very useful, it is not necessary in order to become a orthodontic assistant. Orthodontic assistants take X-rays of the patient's teeth, make impressions for study models and take photographs for the orthodontist to study prior to giving his/her treatment evaluation. They also benefit from having more one-on-one work with the patients.
