Overseas-Trained Orthodontist / General Dentist – Orthodontic Focus
Canberra, ACT | Embrace Orthodontists + Smile Clinics Australia
About the Opportunity
We're looking for an overseas-trained orthodontist — or an orthodontically focused general dentist — who is pursuing or planning Australian registration and is likely to initially hold General Dental registration with AHPRA.
This is a unique dual-brand role working across two complementary practices:
Embrace Orthodontists
A specialist orthodontic practice delivering Invisalign, fixed appliances, and complex multidisciplinary treatment.
Smile Clinics Australia
A boutique, high-efficiency aligner and braces provider focused on Lite–Moderate treatment.
If you're seeking high orthodontic case volume, hands‐on mentorship, and a clear long‐term pathway in Australian orthodontics, this role is worth your attention.
What Makes This Role Different
Most roles for overseas-trained clinicians offer limited scope and little structure. This one is different. From day one you'll have genuine orthodontic exposure, work directly alongside specialist orthodontists, and benefit from a clinical governance framework designed to support your growth — not just your compliance.
* High-volume orthodontic caseload from day one
* Direct collaboration with specialist orthodontists
* Structured clinical governance and treatment planning support
* Exposure to digital orthodontics and remote monitoring
The Role
Responsibilities will be tailored to your registration level and experience, and may include:
* Orthodontic records, diagnostics, and treatment planning support
* Delivery of aligner and fixed appliance treatment within scope
* Monitoring treatment progress and managing refinements
* Patient consultations and case presentations
* Collaboration with specialists on complex or multidisciplinary cases
All clinical activity will align strictly with your AHPRA registration scope and any applicable supervision requirements.
About You
You are overseas-trained in orthodontics, or a dentist with substantial orthodontic experience, and you're serious about building a long-term career in Australian orthodontics. You hold — or are actively working toward — AHPRA General Dental registration, and you bring a patient-first approach, strong communication skills, and comfort working in digital, high-efficiency clinical environments.
Desirable but not essential: experience with aligners (Invisalign, Angel Aligner, Spark), fixed appliances, or high case-volume practice settings.
What We Offer
* Competitive base salary with performance incentives
* Structured onboarding into Australian clinical systems and workflows
* Mentorship from specialist orthodontists
* Visa sponsorship support considered for the right candidate
* Long-term career development within our growing group
