About Orthodontic Specialty Services - Dr. Aron Dellinger DDS, MSD, ABO-Board Certified
The doctor is often noted for early phase-one treatment and for walking families through X-rays, diagnosis, and costs before starting care.
Reviews describe a practice that starts phase-one treatment earlier than typical and spends real time explaining diagnosis, X-rays, and cost before any appliances go on. Several accounts mention complex cases handled without surgery, including bite corrections and long-term coordination of cleft care with a surgeon over multiple years. Parents also mention the doctor recommending a retainer or less invasive option instead of upselling braces when treatment wasn't strictly needed.

We have been dealing with Dr. Aron and his team for over 15 years. My son has a special case and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with his care. You can tell when people actually care about what they do. Thank you for all of the guidance and personalized care.

I'm so excited to share that my son began his journey at just 7 years old with an overbite. Now, as he approaches the end of his treatment, we feel incredibly grateful for the special care we've received throughout this time. He’ll soon be 15, and I can already see how much his quality of life has improved! Thank you so much!
