Dr Andrew Barry

Andrew gained his Bachelor of Dentistry Degree from the University of Sydney and commenced as a dentist in private practice in Wollongong in 1990. Andrew returned to the University of Sydney for full time study in orthodontics and completed his Masters Degree in 1998.

Following completion of his specialist training, he worked initially at Macquarie Street, Sydney for three years before returning to Wollongong and commencing as a partner of Fryer Barry Orthodontists.

Andrew has taught postgraduate orthodontics since 1998 and is Specialist Clinical Associate in the Orthodontic Department at the University of Sydney. He consulted to the Craniofacial Clinic at the Westmead Children’s Hospital for four years.

He is a member of the Australian Dental Association, Royal Australasian College of Dental Surgeons, Australian Society of Orthodontists, American Association of Orthodontists and the World Federation of Orthodontists. Andrew has actively been involved with professional bodies including the South Coast Division of the Australian Dental Association where he is currently President and the Australian Society of Orthodontists (NSW Branch) where he served as Treasurer for 5 years.

Andrew’s passion for orthodontics stems from the satisfaction it gives him to improve his patient’s smile, and the overall function of their teeth. He keeps pace with current orthodontic research and treatment methods and regularly attends courses and conferences. This allows him to choose the most suitable treatment approach and appliances for each patient.

Andrew is devoted to his young family but still finds time for his diverse interests that include photography, music and the pursuit of superb coffee.
