Services
Metal Braces
Durable stainless steel braces offer effective alignment solutions for patients of all ages. Our custom-fitted metal braces utilize advanced bracket technology to ensure comfort and efficiency throughout treatment. This cost-effective option remains the most popular choice for correcting complex dental issues while maintaining patient comfort.
Clear Aligners
Custom 3D-printed aligners provide a discreet alternative to traditional braces. These removable appliances gradually shift teeth into proper alignment while allowing normal eating and oral hygiene routines. Ideal for teens and adults seeking aesthetic solutions without compromising treatment effectiveness.
Retainers
Custom-fitted retainers maintain dental alignment after orthodontic treatment. We offer both traditional wire retainers and clear aligner-style options to suit individual preferences. Our MagneTainer technology provides a fixed, flossable solution that preserves treatment results while maintaining natural tooth function.
3D Imaging
Advanced I-CAT 3D imaging creates precise dental anatomy maps for treatment planning. This technology enables accurate diagnosis and customized treatment strategies while eliminating traditional impression discomfort. Real-time imaging helps visualize treatment outcomes before beginning any orthodontic work.
Surgical Treatments
Comprehensive jaw correction solutions address severe bite issues and facial imbalances. Our surgical treatments combine orthodontic preparation with post-operative care to achieve optimal dental function and facial aesthetics. This approach resolves complex cases that cannot be corrected with braces alone.

This is the second child I have taken to Dr Aaron's office for braces. We always have a great experience. Never have to sit and wait to be seen for more than a minute or two and all the staff are wonderful and friendly. Would recommend this orthodontist to anyone!

EVERYONE was great. I was treated very well from the time I stepped into their building until the time I left. Everyone I came into contact with was excellent! Everyone had a great attitude and was very professional. Dr. Aron was extremely knowledgeable and fixed my retainer and listened to my concerns about my one tooth. This place treats you like family and they care!

I had such an AMAZING experience this morning for my consultation with DR Dellinger and his assistant Laurie. They were both VERY kind and professional and took so much time sitting there good over the best treatment options for me. I didn't feel rushed but they made me feel very important and so well taken care of. I know I can trust being treated with them and I am looking forward to my journey with them and am so excited for my new smile! After several consultations at other orthodontist Dr Dellinger and his staff are by FAR the best! Just go ALREADY you won't regret it for sure!
