Fast paced, energetic, fun, fairly stressful, demandint at t.
Orthodontic Assistant:
Pros: My boss because he is super friendly and always makes you laugh, always in a good mood/but he is strict and has his temper. The working environment is positive, am friends with everyone, we all get along, it's like our second family. Meeting the patients, getting to know them, treating each patient as if it were me getting orthodontic treatment for the first time.
Cons: The pay is fairly because it doesn't compensate the amount of hours we make on a daily basis and weekly. I also like least loosing hours and getting to much time off every time my boss goes on vacation because we don't get paid.

Orthodontic assisting is very fast paced and demanding.
Orthodontic Assistant:
Always pay close attention to detail, and study the doctor that you work for thoroughly. This helps to build a good relationship, and also builds up the necessary trust needed between yourself and the dr. Try to learn as much information as possible from co-workers and discover a working style that best suits you.

Stay positive.

The key is to be a friendly coworker and have excellent patient care.
February 2016
Orthodontic Assistant:
Pros: I love to work with kids. Every time I'm going to work I'm happy.
Cons: Salary problems destroy positive attitude.
January 2016
Stress level.
Orthodontic Assistant:
Pros: I like that there are two different partners in the firm and uses two totally different techniques. This allows the assistants to grow in knowledge.
Cons: There are too many specific ways in detail that the doctors prefer. If they can just choose one method for each procedure or stick with the procedure asked for the previous time, appointments won't run over. The assistants always get blame for running over time, no matter the circumstances. Also the doctors often give negative feedback to assistants in front of patients and sometimes patient parents which is really embarrassing.
