Dental Hygienists
Reply:Dental assistants are the ones that can place the archwires and the little colored circles that hold the archwires in place. The person that actually cements the brackets onto the tooth is the orthodontist. Dental hygienists are usually not employed by orthodontists, as they are "cleaning" specialists, and employed by general dentists and periodontists.
