Orthodontic Therapy
In 2009 the GDC regulated and introduced the role of orthodontic therapists in the UK; this allowed a qualified dental nurse to apply for a 1-year course RCS Diploma in Orthodontic Therapy permitting them to apply and remove orthodontic appliances. The qualification is overseen by the FGDP (UK) and is currently available in Leeds Dental Institute and Cardiff School of Dentistry. Following an examination the Student Orthodontic Therapist can apply for registration with the GDC as an Orthodontic Therapist allowing them also to have the prenominal of Diploma Ortho Ther RCSeng. The prospective dental nurse should work with a specialist registered orthodontist and have a nationally recognised British Dental Nursing qualification with two years post qualification experience and they desire a NEBDN Certificate in Orthodontic Nursing.
