Orthodontic Dental Assistant

Love making people smile? Bridgeport Braces / Bartley Family Orthodontics is hiring a part-time Orthodontic Dental Assistant at our Stamford, CT location. Approximately 20 hours per week (3 days), schedule flexible — we'll work with you on specific days. A great fit if you're a parent, student, or someone who wants meaningful clinical work on a part-time basis.

Why You'll Love It Here

• Flexible 3-day schedule — let's find days that work for you
• We'll pay for your CT dental radiology certification AND your ICE (Infection Control & Exposure) certification — combined value $500+

• Cutting-edge tech: iTero scanners, Invisalign, and in-office 3D printing
• Early close Fridays (if you work that day)
• Holiday parties, team outings, and staff appreciation events

What You'll Do

• Work chairside with the orthodontist — bonding, adjustments, wires, Invisalign, and debands
• Be the face patients love — welcome families, explain treatment, keep everyone comfortable
• Use awesome tech — iTero digital scans, X-rays, clinical photos, 3D printing
• Keep things running smoothly — accurate charting, sterilization, and treatment area prep
• Celebrate smile reveals — the best part of the job!

What We're Looking For

Must-Haves:

• Either (a) a dental assisting program (completed or in progress), OR (b) 1+ year of clinical dental experience in any setting
• Great communication skills and a warm, upbeat personality
• Reliable, punctual, and detail-oriented
• Comfortable with computers and digital recordkeeping
• Available approximately 20 hours per week, with flexibility to discuss specific days

Nice-to-Haves (We'll Train the Right Person!):

• X-Ray / Radiology certification (we provide CT-recognized dental radiology training to qualified candidates within the first 90 days)
• ICE (Infection Control & Exposure) certification (we'll cover this too)
• 1+ year dental or ortho assisting experience
• Invisalign or iTero experience
• CPR / BLS certification

Music playing, patients laughing, smile reveals on social media, and a team that genuinely has each other's backs. This isn't a stuffy office — it's energetic, warm, and collaborative. If that's your vibe, you'll fit right in.
