Description
Orthodontic Assistant - Private Orthodontic Practice (Cypress, TX)
Candid Smiles Orthodontics is a privately owned, family-style orthodontic practice looking for a dedicated Orthodontic Assistant to join our growing team. If you take pride in patient care, enjoy working chairside, and want to be part of a close-knit practice rather than a large corporate group, we would love to hear from you.
About Candid Smiles Orthodontics:
We are a single-doctor, privately owned practice with a genuine family feel. We are small, close-knit, and growing thoughtfully. Our patients are treated like people, not numbers - and our team is treated the same way. We pair that family-practice character with modern, up-to-date technology so our team can do their best work and our patients get an excellent experience.
About the Role:
As an Orthodontic Assistant, you will work chairside alongside the doctor to support patients through every stage of their orthodontic treatment. You will help deliver a smooth, comfortable, and positive experience from the first appointment through the final reveal.
What You Will Do:
- Provide chairside assistance during orthodontic procedures, including the placement and removal of brackets, bands, wires, and appliances.
- Take and process digital scans, photographs, and diagnostic records.
- Prepare treatment rooms, instruments, and materials, and maintain a clean, sterile clinical environment.
- Educate and guide patients on appliance care, oral hygiene, and what to expect at each stage of treatment.
- Support the doctor and team with patient flow, scheduling handoffs, and clinical documentation in our practice-management software.
- Help create a warm, reassuring experience for patients of all ages.
What We Are Looking For:
Required:
- A caring, dependable, team-oriented attitude.
- Strong communication skills and genuine comfort working with patients.
- Ability to stay organized and calm in a busy clinical setting.
Preferred:
- Prior orthodontic or dental assisting experience.
- Familiarity with digital scanning and dental imaging.
- Current radiology certification and BLS/CPR (or willingness to obtain).
- Bilingual is a plus.
We are happy to train the right person who brings the right attitude.
Schedule: Full-time or part-time. Saturdays are required. Specific days and hours discussed at the interview.
Compensation and Benefits:
- Competitive hourly compensation.
- Competitive benefits package.
- Specific details discussed at the in-person interview.

Please submit your resume through this listing. We review every application and look forward to meeting candidates who share our commitment to excellent, compassionate care.
