Vitana Pediatric & Orthodontic Partners, a DSO based in Plantation, Florida, has added Comella & Associates Orthodontics in Rochester, New York to its network. The partnership was announced on April 23, 2026.

Vitana's growth trajectory

Vitana Pediatric & Orthodontic Partners was ranked as the fastest-growing DSO by Inc. magazine last year after achieving a 1,325% three-year growth rate. The Rochester acquisition extends the DSO's footprint into New York state and reinforces its expansion strategy in the pediatric and orthodontic segments.

What this means for the market

The addition of Comella & Associates marks another step in consolidation within the pediatric and orthodontic DSO space. As larger groups acquire standalone practices, practitioners in these specialties face continued pressure to evaluate partnership or acquisition opportunities.
