Amazing amazing treatment and could not be happier with my results! Dr. Salem and his team have been so kind and helpful throughout my treatment, I truly couldn't have asked for a better orthodontist and team to have my braces treatment through. THANK YOU!

Okay! Less than 1 year. Last January 25th, I started with my 1st Invisalign aligner. I had no idea at that time, how ELATED I would be with the results. The last photo was my lower teeth on 1/25/2021. The other pics I took today. I couldn't be happier with the results. Shout out to Dr. Salem at #SalemOrthodontics (locations in W. Bridgewater, Norton, Sharon and Taunton) and his incredibly talented team. Every team member made each and every visit a pleasure. THANK YOU #SalemOrthodontics for improving my self esteem! I can now smile in photos without feeling embarassed about my teeth.
