Hoe long have you had this Orbifolia? Seems like it may have been underwatered once or twice while the newest leaves were forming. My horticulturist friend who taught me a lot once explained to me: “most symptoms your plant shows are delayed reactions that were caused usually about 2 weeks prior. So think back to 2 weeks ago to what care or conditions it was in, and that os usually your culprit”.  
If this plant has only been in your care for a month or so (for example), it may be that the stress of being moved to a new environment/lighting/etc etc caused what you are now seeing.  
I would just trim the dried edges and keep an eye out for what new growth from this point looks like.

I’ve only had it a couple months! Thanks for the advice (:

Also, calatheas are total pre-madonas, and filtered water may not be satisfactory enough to maintain perfect leaves… you may have to give it distilled water.  
I once switched from distilled to LA rain water collected with all the storms this winter, and all my calatheas got a bit fussy like that. I switched back to distilled and all the new leaves are perfect. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Look like lack of humidity
