  • A Supportive Environment with Community Focus: Work in a positive, collaborative workplace where team members lift each other up. Build strong relationships with patients and the communities we proudly serve.

  • Work-Life Balance: Enjoy a flexible work schedule. Every Thursday and Friday, every other Tuesday and approximately 5 Saturdays per year.

How You’ll Make an Impact

  • Screen patients, review their progress, assess oral hygiene, update medical histories, and confirm or update personal information (address, phone number, email, DDS).
  • Maintain accurate records of patients' oral health, treatment progress, and procedures performed in the practice management system.
  • Perform intraoral procedures as authorized by the DDS, as indicated in the patient’s chart (e.g., archwires, chain elastics, coil springs, surgical hooks, auxiliary hooks, Forsus springs, MARA elbows).
  • Place and remove separating elastics as needed.
  • Prepare teeth and place fixed appliances that were previously fitted by the DDS (e.g., bands, brackets, MARA, RPE, Invisalign attachments, fixed lingual retainers).
  • Remove fixed appliances and residual cement (e.g., brackets, bands, MARA, RPE, fixed retainers, Invisalign attachments).
  • Perform scaling as needed before placing a fixed lingual retainer.
  • Mechanically polish teeth after the removal of fixed appliances.
  • Take impressions for retainer or mouthguard fabrication.
  • Provide patients with instructions on oral hygiene, dietary recommendations related to orthodontics, and specific guidance on caring for devices and braces.
  • Address patient emergencies and restore their original state (e.g., fix poking archwires, replace broken archwires, elastics, or appliances, and reinsert missing parts).
  • Assist with cleaning and disinfecting operatories when time allows.
  • Provide reports to parents or guardians about patient progress.
  • Interpret Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) and ensure proper protocols are followed.
  • Assess emergency situations and be familiar with emergency protocols, including first aid and CPR.
  • Place or remove retraction cords as needed to ensure proper bracket placement (Restorative Hygienist/DDS only).

The Teammate We’re Looking For

  • Registered Dental Hygienist or Restorative Dental Hygienist in good standing.
  • Orthodontic experience is an asset, but we look forward to supporting the right candidate to expand their skills.
  • CPR C/AED Certification.
  • Must be able to provide key responsibilities while wearing personal protective equipment such as gown, cap, face shield, and mask. For aerosol generating procedures a N95 or KN95 mask is required.
