Bert Aldridge, laboratory manager at Great Ormond Street Hospital in London and Len Bradshaw, his counterpart at Kings College Dental School, discussed the possibility of forming an Association for orthodontic technicians. They were visiting lecturers at South London College on Tooley Street, which has since merged with Brixton College of Further Education and Vauxhall College to become Lambeth College, with the Tooley Street campus moving to Clapham in 2004. Aldridge wrote to the other orthodontic technicians working at London teaching hospitals and invited them to attend a meeting on Monday 11 October 1971 at 6.00 pm at Great Ormond Street Hospital to discuss the possibility of forming an association. Thirteen orthodontic technicians attended the meeting and it was agreed that such an association should be formed. From this meeting a steering committee was organised. Len Bradshaw became the first chairman and Bert Aldridge was secretary. Other committee members were P. Chittenden, H. Close, J. Ford, J. Griffin and H. Haringman. During the first four meetings aims and objectives were drawn up and in March 1972 a letter and questionnaire were sent to dental schools, hospital orthodontic departments and county council dental laboratories. As an act of confidence each committee member together with E. Cripps, H. Essinger, A. Wing and G. Wisker contributed to a launching fund to cover the costs of stationery, printing and postage. In July 1972 a letter together with an application form and the comments received from the original replies were sent out inviting orthodontic technicians to apply for membership. During the meetings that followed the constitution was written and the first conference was planned, which was held in April 1973 at University College Hospital in London. Letters with details of the conference were sent out to all orthodontic departments throughout the United Kingdom.[1] Aims and objectivesThe aims and objectives of the association remain close to those of its founders: AimsThe Association will be strictly a professional body devoted to the interests of orthodontics. This is to imply that it is not a trade union, but there would be no reason why the Association should not suggest and give opinions to institutions on the role of the orthodontic technician. Objectives
MembershipAll grades of membership have the right to attend meetings, conferences and receive all literature. All grades are awarded at the discretion of the Council. Any member may appeal over the grading awarded. The Council issues a list of national qualifications that are recognised by the Association. Membership benefits

OTA officialsCouncilThe OTA Council is the governing body of the Association and is elected by the members. The council was established in 1971, consisting of four executive officers (chairman, Secretary, Treasurer and Membership Secretary) and up to six non-executive council members. At the Annual General Meeting on 12 March 2005 two more non-executive positions were created due to a steady increase in council duties, meaning that the council can be composed of a total of 12 council members. PresidentThe President is the Association's ceremonial head and is elected biennially by the Council. RepresentationThe OTA is represented at meetings with various organisations, such as the British Standards Institution and the General Dental Council. OTA officials 2018–19
Logo and visual identityThe OTA logo has been a visual identity for the Association and its work since the 1970s in three distinct designs: 1971–84The first logo was used from 1971 to 1984 and consisted of an image of the base of a maxillary Angle’s trimmed study model surrounded by an annulus with the words "ORTHODONTIC" and "TECHNICIANS" at the top and "ASSOCIATION" at the bottom, separated by dashes.[30] 1984–2017The second logo was used from 1984 to 2017 and depicts the letters "OTA " in uppercase with an otter, the OTA's mascot, in the foreground. The annulus remained the same as for the first logo. The otter was chosen as the association's mascot because the initials OTA can be pronounced "otter." 2017–presentThe third and current logo has been used since September 2017 and consists of a blue globe with a "bite" removed from the left-hand side and the letters "OTA" in lowercase.[2][32] Affiliate organisationsBritish Orthodontic SocietyThe OTA has had a close connection with the British Orthodontic Society (BOS) for much of its history. The BOS sponsor two awards for orthodontic technicians, which were launched in 2000 and 2003, and these are co-ordinated by the OTA. The affiliation with the BOS was finally formalised by an agreement in 2010 that gave increased benefits to members and meant that the Association now shared an official address with the BOS at 12 Bridewell Place in the City of London. These offices opened in 2006 and occupy two floors of a listed Victorian building near St Paul's Cathedral.[2] International affiliationsThe 1990s saw the Association build links with a similar organisation based in (Germany), Gesellschaft für Kieferorthopädische Zahntechnik (GK; Society for Orthodontic Dental Technology), which was established in 1990. This relationship remains in place today and the OTA Chair with an accompanying ambassador from the OTA council represents the OTA at the annual GK Congress. The second decade of the 21st century has seen the OTA build links with their Italian and Polish counterparts, Accademia Italiana di Ortodonzia Tecnica, (AIOT; Italian Academy of Orthodontic Technology), ORTEC and Polskie Towarzystwo Techniki Ortodontycznej (PTTO; Polish Association for Orthodontic Technology). ConferenceContinuing professional development (CPD) has been at the heart of what the OTA stands for, long before it became mandatory for UK dental technicians in 2008. The Association has held regular conferences since 1973.[1]OTA Annual Conference (1973–2014)The first OTA conference (OTAC) was held at University College Hospital, London in April 1973. The next three conferences were held in 1974, 1976 and 1978 in Cardiff, Manchester and Bristol respectively. Conferences have became a regular occurrence for the Association since the 1980s, with meetings held in towns and cities including Basingstoke, Blackpool, Bournemouth, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Gloucester, Luton, Milton Keynes, Newcastle, Skipton, Southampton, Stirling and Windermere.[35] OTA Annual Conference, co-located with the British Orthodontic Conference (2016–2017)Following a ballot of the OTA membership, the result of which was announced at the OTA Annual General Meeting in 2014, the OTA Conference moved to be co-located with the British Orthodontic Conference (BOC) in 2016 and 2017. These conferences were held in Brighton and Manchester. Dental Professionals Conference (2018–present)In 2018 the OTA Conference was opened up to the wider dental team, rebranded as the Dental Professionals Conference (DPC), and held in collaboration with the Dental Technologists Association, the Society of British Dental Nurses and Futurelab. The first DPC was held at Park Plaza hotel in Nottingham on the 14 and 15 September 2018. The second DPC is scheduled to take place at the Holiday Inn hotel in Edinburgh on 27–28 September 2019.[36] Other EventsBritish Orthodontic ConferenceBetween 2009 and 2014, the BOS hosted a dedicated lecture programme for orthodontic technicians at the BOC, which was coordinated by the OTA. These meetings were held in Edinburgh[38], Brighton[39], Harrogate[40], Bournemouth[41] and Manchester[42]. International Orthodontic CongressIn 2015, the OTA hosted the orthodontic technicians lecture programme at the 8th International Orthodontic Congress at ExCeL in London.[43] Dental Technology ShowcaseSince 2016, the OTA have held seminar sessions at the Dental Technology Showcase (DTS). The DTS is co-located with the British Dental Conference and the Dentistry Show at the National Exhibition Centre in Birmingham[44][45] Scottish Dental ShowSince 2016, the have OTA sponsored a speaker and had a trade stand at the Scottish Dental Show, which is held at the Braehead Arena in Renfrewshire. PublicationsConference ProceedingsThe OTA have published conference proceedings to accompany its annual conference since 1998. OTA NewsThe OTA publishes a quarterly newsletter to keep members up to date with news relating to orthodontic technology.[14][47] BOS NewsThe BOS News, the newsletter of the BOS, carries up to four pages of news relating to the OTA.[14] Prizes and awardsThe OTA sponsor three awards and coordinate two on behalf of the BOS:
