The DANB OA Practice Test is an essential study tool to help test your understanding of orthodontic assisting procedures. Quiz yourself on how to fit and adapt extraoral headgear. Check your knowledge of the steps involved in placing and removing bands, brackets, archwires and ligatures. Test your recall of how to prepare, mix, deliver and store dental materials such as cements, etchants, bonding agents and adhesives.

With more than 200 questions that mirror the DANB Orthodontic Assisting (OA) exam outline, you’ll further your understanding of the concepts covered on the exam and improve your test-taking strategies. A variety of review methods help customize your experience to your personal learning style. Plus, you’ll be able to flag questions to come back to and identify areas that you may need to spend more time reviewing.

Questions are not from actual DANB exams, and completing the practice test does not guarantee you will pass the DANB OA exam.
