Your Orthodontist in Southbury, CT
Southbury is home for us. Our office is right on Bullet Hill Road, minutes from Southbury Green, Heritage Village, and the Route 6 and I-84 corridors that everyone in town knows. That means no long drives to Danbury or Waterbury for orthodontic care — for most Southbury families, an appointment fits neatly around school pickup, work, and evening activities.
We treat families from every corner of Region 15. Whether your child is at Gainfield Elementary, Pomperaug Elementary, Long Meadow, Rochambeau Middle School, or Pomperaug High School, we've almost certainly treated their classmates and teammates. From a first early-treatment evaluation for a seven-year-old to braces for a Pomperaug teen to clear aligners for a busy Southbury parent, it all happens right here in town, with the same doctor at every visit.
Braces in Southbury. Clear aligners in Southbury. Early treatment for kids in Southbury. One local practice for the whole family — and one that actually knows your community, because we live and work in it.
Your Orthodontist Near Oxford, CT
Oxford families, you're closer to expert orthodontic care than you might think. Our Southbury office is roughly a ten-minute drive from the heart of Oxford — a straightforward trip up Route 67 that's far easier than heading toward Naugatuck or Waterbury for a specialist.
We see Oxford kids, teens, and adults every week — students from Quaker Farms School, Oxford Center School, Great Oak Middle School, and Oxford High School, plus plenty of Oxford parents finally doing something for their own smile. Whether it's modern braces, clear aligners, or a Phase I evaluation for a younger child, Oxford families get a true board-certified orthodontist without the drive that usually comes with one.
If you've been typing "orthodontist near Oxford CT" or "braces in Oxford" into your phone, this is your answer — and your first visit is completely free.

Why Southbury and Oxford Families Choose Dr. Aronson
There are orthodontists, and then there are board-certified orthodontists with a national-caliber background who still treat you like a neighbor. Here's what you get with Dr. Aronson:
- A board-certified orthodontist at every visit. Dr. Aronson is board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics — a distinction fewer than 30% of orthodontists earn — and along with Dr. Friedman, he is one of the only board-certified orthodontists serving the Southbury and Oxford area. He personally plans and monitors every case. No rotating associates, no handoffs.
- Elite training. Dr. Aronson graduated number one in his class from Columbia University's dental school, then earned a dual master's degree in Orthodontics and Oral Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, one of the nation's top programs.
- A true innovator. He holds several U.S. patents for orthodontic innovations — the kind of expertise you don't expect to find ten minutes from home.
- Family-owned and community-rooted. We're not a corporate chain. We're a family-owned practice that's woven into Southbury and Oxford life.
- Comfortable, modern care. We use a digital iTero scanner for fast, accurate 3D scans — no goopy molds — so treatment is more comfortable from day one.
- Affordable for real families. We offer flexible payment plans with 0% APR financing and accept nearly all PPO dental insurance, including Cigna, Anthem, Blue Cross Blue Shield, and Delta Dental.
