WHO WE ARE

At Synergi Orthodontic Specialists, we don’t just straighten teeth — we transform lives through exceptional experiences, advanced technology, and a growth-driven team culture. We’re a fully digital, modern practice (CBCT, 3D scanners, in-house 3D printing) built around comprehensive care, airway health, and clinical excellence, because how we treat people is our brand.

ABOUT THIS ROLE

This is not a typical assisting job. The Orthodontic Assistant is a premier clinical and patient experience role, chairside partner to the doctor and a steady, reassuring presence for every patient in the chair.

As an Orthodontic Assistant, you are:

• A clinically sharp, detail-obsessed partner to the doctor at every step of treatment
• A calming, confident presence who puts patients at ease and makes them feel remembered
• A steward of our digital workflow, from intraoral scanning to CBCT to in-house 3D printing
• A growth-minded team player who is always looking to level up their craft

If you want a job, this isn’t it. If you want a career where you grow, contribute, and feel proud of your work every day, keep reading.

COMPENSATION PHILOSOPHY

At Synergi, we don’t aim to be average, and we don’t hire average. All new hires begin at a rate based on experience and skill level, with rapid growth tied to performance.

Our goal is for every Orthodontic Assistant to reach or exceed $33+/hour within roughly two years or faster, as they grow into a high-level clinical contributor. This is earned through skill, ownership, and consistent excellence. It is not automatic.

We’re looking for people who want to be the best in the field, take ownership of their role, and thrive in a culture of accountability, feedback, and continuous improvement. If that excites you, you’ll fit right in. If that feels intimidating, this likely isn’t the right environment, and that’s okay.
