An Orthodontic Therapist is a GDC registered dental professional who works under the prescription of a specialist orthodontist to deliver orthodontic treatment safely and efficiently.

In this video, I explain the role of the Orthodontic Therapist within the orthodontic team, the scope of practice, and how we support both clinicians and patients throughout active treatment. This is particularly relevant for dental professionals looking to better understand team workflows, delegation, and the value Orthodontic Therapists bring to modern orthodontic practice.

This content is aimed at dentists, practice owners, and dental professionals who want a clear and practical overview of the Orthodontic Therapist role in the UK.
