The British Orthodontic Society Award to an Orthodontic Technician for Distinguished Service, also referred to as the British Orthodontic Society Distinguished Orthodontic Technicians Award (BOSDOTA) is awarded annually by the British Orthodontic Society in collaboration with the Orthodontic Technicians Association (OTA). It is awarded to an orthodontic technician who has made an outstanding contribution to the field of orthodontics.

One nomination is sought annually from the OTA, along with a request for a citation outlining the reasons for the nomination. The name selected is then considered by the BOS Scholarship Committee and then presented to the BOS Council for ratification. If the nomination is confirmed then the winner will be presented with their certificate at the British Orthodontic Conference (BOC) during the BOS awards ceremony. If no suitable individuals are identified in a particular year then no award will be made. Previous winners have included John Brown, William Keel and Ashley Hunt.
