For qualified dental nurses looking to expand their skillset and advance their career in a specialised field, the Orthodontic Dental Nursing Course from North London Dental Centre (NLDC) offers a unique and rewarding opportunity. Designed to support career progression and increase employability in dental practices and specialist orthodontic clinics, this course is accredited by the National Examining Board for Dental Nurses (NEBDN) and sets the benchmark for excellence in post-qualification dental nurse education.

Orthodontic dental nursing is a specialist area that focuses on assisting orthodontists in the treatment and care of patients requiring corrective dental procedures, including braces, aligners, and other orthodontic appliances. With demand for orthodontic treatments on the rise in both private and NHS practices, qualified dental nurses with specialist orthodontic training are increasingly sought after. Completing a recognised orthodontic dental nursing course not only enhances your clinical knowledge but also opens doors to higher-paid roles and specialist responsibilities.

NLDC’s Orthodontic Dental Nursing Course is structured to provide a deep understanding of orthodontic theory, techniques, and patient care. The course covers a wide range of subjects, including the development and management of malocclusion, orthodontic appliances and their maintenance, patient communication skills, cross-infection control specific to orthodontics, and the clinical procedures required in both fixed and removable orthodontic treatments. Students also learn how to assist with impressions, photography, record taking, and sterilisation of instruments in a specialist setting.

One of the key strengths of the course is its hybrid learning format, which combines online learning with hands-on experience. This flexible structure is ideal for working dental nurses who want to upskill without disrupting their current employment. Students complete their theoretical modules online, supported by NLDC’s expert tutors, and also gain practical experience by logging their Record of Competence (RoC) in a real dental or orthodontic practice. The RoC is an essential part of the NEBDN post-registration qualification and ensures that students are able to apply their knowledge in practical, real-world settings.

To be eligible for the Orthodontic Dental Nursing Course, applicants must already hold a recognised dental nursing qualification, such as the NEBDN National Diploma in Dental Nursing, and must be registered with the General Dental Council (GDC). This ensures that all students have a strong clinical foundation and are able to make the most of the advanced training offered.

NLDC prides itself on delivering high-quality education backed by decades of experience in training dental professionals. Their tutors are qualified, industry-experienced professionals who provide personalised support throughout the course, from enrolment through to exam preparation. The pass rates are among the best in the country, and many NLDC alumni have gone on to secure roles in specialist practices or further their education in other post-registration fields such as radiography, sedation, and oral health education.

In addition to boosting your employability, completing the Orthodontic Dental Nursing Course can significantly increase your earning potential and job satisfaction. With greater knowledge and confidence, you’ll be able to take on more responsibility within your practice, assist in complex treatments, and provide better care for patients undergoing orthodontic procedures. This course is particularly beneficial for dental nurses working in or seeking to join specialist orthodontic teams, community dental services, or hospital dental departments.

At NLDC, the aim is not just to help you pass an exam but to prepare you for long-term success in your professional journey. The support network, academic resources, and practical guidance provided make the learning process as smooth and enriching as possible. Whether you’re aiming for a promotion, seeking new challenges, or simply wanting to deepen your knowledge, this course is the ideal next step.
