About Shelling Orthodontics Boca Raton
A second opinion here has spared families thousands in unnecessary treatment, with Dr. Robert Shelling favoring conservative plans over surgery or multi-phase braces.
Reviews often mention Dr. Robert Shelling steering patients away from costly extras, whether that means avoiding jaw surgery another provider recommended, opting for a simpler one-phase plan, or accepting Medicaid when other offices in the area do not. Families describe the office as affordable relative to other quotes, with Care Credit financing available for bigger cases like oral surgery. Anxious teens, nervous kids, and adults with dental phobia are frequently mentioned as feeling put at ease during visits, and long-standing results such as braces holding steady more than a decade are noted often. A single dispute over a broken retainer stands out as a sharp exception to an otherwise steady tone.

Highly recommend Shelling Orthodontics! From the moment you walk in, the whole team makes you feel welcome and taken care of. I especially want to give a shoutout to Faby — she's absolutely wonderful. She's always so friendly, patient, and genuinely cares about making sure you're comfortable and informed every step of the way. It's clear she goes above and beyond for patients. Thanks to Faby and the rest of the team for such a great experience!
Scheduled an Invisalign consultation through Invisalign who put me in touch with Dr. Shelling’s practice. Went in for my consultation, they took photos, went over costs with my insurance and then my trays were ordered. Absolutely love how easy it is to work with them, my appts were scheduled far enough out to come back and check my progress on my teeth moving. If something wasn’t moving enough new trays were ordered and I was kept informed. The only thing I wish I did was get this done sooner but nonetheless I have nothing but positive things to say about Dr. Shelling Orthodontics. Nothing beats a great smile 😀. EDIT: Finished my Invisalign treatment June 12, 2026 after having it since Feb 2025. Highly recommend this office for Invisalign, the process is easy and each time you come in they’ll do an updated scan. Absolutely thrilled with my teeth!
It was a great and happy experience. Everyone is professional and I did not need to look around to compare notes. They have something different to offer with speeding up healing and putting back the plasma back in the gums. Perfection. Been coming to this office already for braces and now oral surgery. I signed up for Care Credit to pay for the cost. Thank you for everything.
I’m extremely happy with the results of my orthodontic treatment. I would especially like to thank Fabi, who took wonderful care of my throughout the entire process . She is very kind, professional and dedicated to her work, always making me feel comfortable and well care for. I definitely recommend 100 % Shelling Orthodontics Mia
My son saw Dr. Shelling about five years ago after another local orthodontist told us he absolutely needed braces, which would have cost around $5,000. We went to Dr. Shelling for a second opinion, and his approach was so much more thoughtful and conservative. He felt things didn’t look too concerning and recommended that we wait and revisit it later rather than rush into treatment. Sure enough, my son is now 14, has all his adult teeth, and they're great. No braces were needed (at least not now) Hurray! I’m so incredibly thankful for honest, ethical, and thoughtful orthodontists like Dr. Shelling.
