When I open a PowerPoint file from my Dropbox, the formatting is messed up. Is there a way to avoid this without saving the PPT as a PDF?

Dropbox does not alter file formats or file setups. 

What can happen though is that differing versions on different machines cause issues OR the web version of office opens it. 

If you download it to a machine with the same version of office on (and same fonts etc.) all will be fine
