About the Doctor

He continued his education at The University of Connecticut School of Dental Medicine, where he was near the top of his graduating class – a class that ranked #1 in the nation among all dental schools based on national board scores. With orthodontics being a highly specialized and competitive field of dentistry, Dr. Raney was chosen to attend Nova Southeastern University in Florida, where he received his orthodontic certificate. After years of hard work and training, Dr. Raney is able to provide you with the best and most advanced orthodontic care.

Dr. Raney is an active and upstanding member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the Northeast Society of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, the Connecticut State Dental Association, as well as the Middlesex Dental Society, where Dr. Raney recently served as vice-president.

In 2007, Dr. Raney received the highest honor given to an orthodontist when he became board certified by The American Board of Orthodontics. Currently, only about 20% of all orthodontists are board certified.

Dr. Raney has earned many honors such as the Gustave Pearl Award, which he was awarded for outstanding original research while in dental school. He also received a community service award for his volunteer help with the Connecticut Special Olympics. Dr. Raney is continuously trying to stay current on all the latest technology by attending multiple continuing education courses throughout the year.
