Orthodontic therapist and orthodontic dental nurse collaborate to run national group

The Orthodontic National Group (ONG), the membership organisation for dental nurses and orthodontic therapists, would like to announce that their new chairperson is Sally Dye.

This represents a momentous achievement in the history of ONG as Sally is an orthodontic therapist while the new President, Debra Worthington, is an orthodontic dental nurse. It’s the first time that both groups of orthodontic professionals are represented at the highest level of their representative body.

Sally has the Certificate in Education (Cert Ed) and has many years’ experience of teaching. Debra, the immediate past Chairperson of ONG, has just been honoured with an Outstanding Contribution to Orthodontics Award by the British Dental Association. Both Sally and Debra will serve for two years in their new roles.
