The British Orthodontic Society Technicians Award is awarded annually by the British Orthodontic Society in collaboration with the Orthodontic Technicians Association. The award was established in 1999 and the first prize was awarded in 2000. The award is the only one of its kind in dentistry and is awarded at the annual conference of the Orthodontic Technicians Association. It was initially set up to encourage more students and newly qualified professionals to specialise in orthodontics. It could be argued that the award has been successful in its purpose - the majority of the recipients have gone on to have successful careers in the field.

The award is open to any student dental technician in the United Kingdom enrolled on a recognised first level dental technology course and to technicians who have been qualified for less than two years at the time of the closing date for entries.
