Every one was really nice and always open to answering any questions I had. It was quick and having the braces didn't seem as difficult as I had originally thought.

Dr. Salem and his team were amazing to work with! I looked forward to my appointments. The facilities were always clean, I never had to wait long to be seen, and everyone was friendly and helpful. I came in for an opinion that I thought needed surgery to correct, but Dr. Salem was confident that he could fix my bite with braces only. Now my smile is better than ever, and just in time for my wedding! I highly recommend Salem Orthodontics to anyone in need of his services. Eternally thankful!

Very happy with my results and the staff as well as Dr. Salem. I would recommend anyone/everyone who needs his services to go and see him. I went to him due to the research I did on Invisalign and one year later, I fell like I have new set of teeth. With his and his staffs expertise, my teeth went from the major issues I was having with them to looking like they did years ago. Once again, highly recommend going to see Dr. Salem especially if you are looking into Invisalign.

I had a great experience with Dr. Salem for the duration of my Invisalign treatment. He explained everything thoroughly beforehand and did an excellent job at every turn, whether it was the consult, IPR, or shaping. I'm very happy with my results. Thank you

I went through the experience of having braces. During this time I have been able to fix and perfect my smile. I am proud of my new smile and the care that was given to me in that process.
