About Dr. Karim Salem

My interest in Orthodontics began as a teenager when I was a patient of my father, who was my Orthodontist. My treatment started with a head-gear appliance and eventually braces. I don't recall ever complaining, but I wasn't sure my teeth would be fixed until I compared the initial pictures taken at the start of my treatment to the results at the end. I was fascinated by the transformation and grateful that my teeth looked nice, aligned, and my overbite was corrected. I take pride in making that kind of change in people's smiles and self-esteem. I enjoy educating my patients and, most importantly, making the entire process fun and comfortable. I earned my Doctor of Dental Medicine degree from Boston University and completed my Certificate in Orthodontics at Tufts University, which has equipped me with the skills and knowledge to provide excellent care.

It was a busy afternoon for them but I was seen right away with very little waiting. Dr. Salem was very friendly and knowledgeable. Very nice office with up to date equipment. 10/10 would recommend!
Verified patient
The doctor does not listen or explain well. They don’t take any X-rays etc during the consultation and ask that you pay a lump sum down payment before they even get started. They basically want you to commit without knowing what you’re committing to.
Verified patient
I would recommend this practice. My insurance did not cover it, however I do not understand what Masshealth covers so it could be not completely the doctors problem.
Verified patient
Dr. Salem was extremely nice. He laid out all of my options and what to expect from them without pushing me one way or the other. You can tell he he takes pride in his work. His staff are fantastic as well. Would absolutely recommend him to everyone!

Dr. Salem is an awesome down to earth Orthodontist and I highly recommend him to anyone who is looking to have a great smile.
