From being his patient when I was younger to being his student now, I have always looked up to and admired Dr. Malerman. In fact he is one of the key people who inspired me to pursue dentistry. He is thorough and firm but his sense of humor is unmatched.

I have never seen a provider more committed to making their patients happy and get a good result from their braces. My two kids and i have all gone to Dr. Malerman and he never makes us wait, always takes time to explain things and teaches you how to take care of your teeth. He is especially good with kids.

He has been great with my son. Not only does he spend time with him but he is very serious and leaves it to the patient to take care of himself. He is also very funny. Never had to wait as i did with my daughter and another office. The best worth travelling to his office

Dr. Malerman opened his Orthodontic practice in Dresher in 1972. He merged his practice with two other Orthodontists in Glenside in 2015. ln 2020 he was approached with an opportunity to open an additional practice in Fort Washington, and it has proven to be an exciting new venture. Since entering private practice, Dr. Malerman has served on numerous professional, civic, and business boards. He has received dozens of academic and clinical honors. These include Best Dentist or Best Orthodontist locally, Whos Who, Top Orthodontist Nationally and Top Dentist Pennsylvania from healthap.com, Drs Choice Award, and many more. But the most exceptionally gratifying commendation has been to see former patients return to the practice with their children and grandchildren.

Dr. Malerman (aka: molarman) and his wife (the Cookielady) have been married for over 50 years. When not practicing or teaching, they enjoy travelling to Newton, MA, to be with their daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter. Add to that many home improvement projects, reading, gardening, and museum hopping, there are not enough hours in a day.

Professionally, Dr. Malermans goal is to provide each patient with a smile of which they can be proud, a smile that is dazzlingly aesthetic, fully functional, and exceptionally stable. Each and every patient receives my full attention. Malocclusions are like snowflakes, no two are exactly alike. For that reason we provide unique Orthodontic care for unique Orthodontic patients.
