ARCH began as a family practice, founded by Dr. Robert Chavez and his son Dr. Andrew Chase. The practice grew over four decades, leaving a legacy of quality orthodontic care reaching generations of families throughout the greater Boston region. Orthodontists are specialists by definition. Every doctor at ARCH has completed an additional two years of study in the field of Orthodontics, following four required years of dental school. At ARCH, we believe in expanding upon those already high standards of expertise. Our orthodontists have unique training inpatient evaluation, including assessment of growth patterns, familial traits, facial geometry, individual emotional development, and personal expectations.
