Dr. Nicholas Andros

“I first became passionate about orthodontics after having braces myself. I saw first hand how a great smile has a huge impact on one’s life. I look forward to getting to know my patients over the course of their treatment and working hard together. One of my favorite things is seeing how happy patients are when their braces are removed and seeing their beautiful, confident smiles.”

Dr. Andros grew up in the Tri-cities. He attended Richland High and has always been an active member of the community from a young age. As a youth he became an Eagle Scout, worked for The ARC of Tri-cities for 3 years, organized several Red Cross blood drives and many other service opportunities. He served a volunteer 2 year mission in Eastern Australia where he became fluent in Mandarin Chinese.

Dr. Andros obtained his B.S. in Biology at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. There he was involved in multiple research labs studying Type II Diabetes, Alzhiemers, perinatal ultrasound safety and Parkinson’s disease.
