Orthotropics is the science of guiding the growth of the face. The word derives from the Greek word "Ortho," which means "correct" or "straight," and the word "Tropics," which means "growth." Orthotropics = correct growth of the face. This highly sophisticated process is carried out with a series of simple-to-use, removable devices over a period of approximately thirty-six months.
One subsequent great benefit from Orthotropic treatment is that it develops facial bones in a way that renders extractions of permanent teeth a virtually unnecessary procedure.
Dr. Berrios is one of the very few professionals trained in Orthotropics in the Greater Los Angeles area and he has received his training under the direct supervision of Dr. John Mew, from Surrey, England. Dr. Mew is the man that proposed and created this "attractive face" treatment over fifty years ago.
