What are the responsibilities and job description for the Orthodontic Assistant position at Rockwall Family Dental?
Orthodontic Assistant
Rockwall Family Dental | Rockwall, TX
Pay: $20.00–$25.00 per hour, based on experience
Rockwall Family Dental is growing our orthodontic department and looking for an experienced Orthodontic Assistant who is great with people, confident clinically, and ready to be part of a modern, fast-growing private practice.
We are not looking for someone who just wants to “help out” with ortho occasionally. We want someone who enjoys orthodontics, is comfortable chairside, and can help create an excellent experience for both teen and adult patients.
You should be personable, polished, dependable, and able to make patients feel comfortable while keeping appointments moving efficiently.
What You’ll Be Doing
- Assisting with braces and clear aligner appointments
- Helping with bracket bonding and braces placement
- Taking intraoral scans, photos, and orthodontic records
- Placing clear-aligner attachments
- Assisting with wire changes, debonds, retainer delivery, and follow-up visits
- Keeping rooms stocked, organized, clean, and ready for patients
- Helping patients feel informed, comfortable, and excited about treatment
What We’re Looking For
- Friendly, confident, and naturally good with people
- Strong communication skills with both teens and adults
- Organized, detail-oriented, and able to work efficiently
- Reliable, positive, and able to take ownership of your role
- Comfortable in a fast-paced, patient-focused office
- Excited to grow with a practice that is expanding its orthodontic services
Required Orthodontic Experience
This is not a train-from-scratch orthodontic role.
Applicants must already have hands-on experience with:
- Bracket bonding / assisting with braces placement
- Intraoral scanners and digital orthodontic records
- Clear-aligner attachments
- Orthodontic photos and records
- General braces and clear-aligner appointment flow
Please do not apply if you only have general dental assisting experience and have not worked hands-on with braces or clear aligners.
Why Rockwall Family Dental
We are a modern, privately owned practice focused on giving patients an exceptional experience. Our orthodontic department is growing, and this is a chance to join early, build with us, and have a meaningful role in where it goes.
We value team members who are good at what they do, care about patients, and want to be part of a positive office environment.
To apply: Please send your resume and include a short note about your orthodontic experience, including any scanners, braces systems, or clear-aligner systems you have worked with.
