Our Advanced Approach

At Andros Orthodontics, we’re committed to providing leading-edge orthodontic care with a focus on precision, patient comfort, and exceptional results. Here’s what sets our team apart:

Expertise in Adult Upper Arch Expansion:

We are highly experienced in MARPE (Mini-Implant Assisted Rapid Palatal Expander) procedures for adults who need upper jaw (maxillary) arch expansion—even in complex cases where other options may have failed or were considered too invasive.

Surgical and Orthognathic Collaboration:

Many of our patients require comprehensive solutions, including surgical (orthognathic) intervention. We work closely with oral and maxillofacial surgeons, ensuring seamless planning and coordination for even the most challenging jaw alignment cases.

100% Digital Workflow:

From initial records to the final stages of treatment, our office is fully digital. All of your imaging, impressions, simulations, and appliance designs are completed using advanced software and equipment. This digital approach maximizes efficiency, accuracy, and communication throughout every step of your orthodontic journey.

Digital Indirect Bonding:

Our use of digital indirect bonding technology allows for precise, comfortable bracket placement using custom-designed, 3D-printed trays. This not only improves the quality of your results but can also reduce chair-time and the risk of bracket misplacement.

CBCT 3D X-Rays Integrated Into Treatment:

We utilize high-resolution CBCT 3D imaging, which is seamlessly integrated into our planning for both aligners and fixed appliances—including MARPE placement. This advanced technology enhances safety, diagnostic accuracy, and the predictability of your outcome, particularly in complex or surgical cases.
