A day in the life

Rachael Hartley walks us through a day in the life of an orthodontic therapist.

As an orthodontic therapist, I love to learn new skills and increase my competence whenever possible. Since qualifying in 2011, I have continued my personal and professional development by undertaking several courses. I passed the NEBDN in Dental Radiography in 2012, a Dental Impression Taking Certificate in 2012, a Foundation Degree Post Qualifying Dental Nursing in 2015, a BSC in Health Professional Studies in 2017, a Level three Award in Education and Training in 2017, NEBDN Orthodontic Dental Nursing in 2018, a Diploma in Orthodontic Therapy in 2019 and the Align Technology course for Orthodontic Therapists in 2022. All these qualifications have given me greater knowledge and even greater confidence to perform my role to the highest level.
