NEBDN post-registration certificate
Orthodontic Dental Nursing
Occlusal classification and development, removable, fixed and functional appliances, materials and retention.
The certificate for nurses in an orthodontic practice. It starts with how the dentition develops and how an occlusion is classified and assessed, then spends most of its weight on appliances — removable and fixed components and what each one does, functional appliances, headgear, and the problems that walk back through the door between appointments. It finishes with the materials side: impressions and study models, bonding and cementation, debonding and its hazards, and retention, which is where a large share of the marks sit.
The 3 topics
Each topic has a free study guide covering what it examines. 1 of them also has a free quiz on this site.
Growth and Classification
Malocclusion and occlusal classification, eruption and the developing dentition, indices, cephalometrics.
Removable and Fixed Appliances
Removable and fixed components, functional appliances, headgear, auxiliaries, and chairside problems.
Materials and Retention

How this certificate is examined in the app
The app treats each certificate as its own qualification. Its 75-question, 90-minute mock test draws only on this certificate's own 180 questions — a mock that mixed in orthodontics while you are revising radiography would tell you nothing useful.
The other certificates
All in the same app — one purchase covers all four.
Dental Radiography
Physics and dose, IR(ME)R duties, projection technique, image faults and radiographic anatomy.
Oral Health Education
Caries and periodontal prevention, diet, fluoride, and the behaviour change techniques that make advice stick.
