Designating orthodontic treatment assistants

When you are creating or editing a user account, you can designate the user as an orthodontic treatment assistant. If the user is designated as an orthodontic treatment assistant, the user's name is available for selection as an assistant for a visit on the Ortho tab of a patient's clinical record.

Note: The option for designating an orthodontic treatment assistant is relevant only if you have purchased the Orthodontics package. The Orthodontics package is an add-on feature that you can purchase separately from your Dentrix Ascend subscription.
