I don't know where to begin to explain my wonderful experience with Dr. Melita. I searched for the perfect orthodontist for almost 5 years and I'm beyond happy that I found Dr. Melita right when I was about to give up. The reason for my hesitation was the multiple crowns (one being very visible) in my mouth along with the crowding issue I had. I am opposed to pulling healthy teeth out to make space without first trying to make it work with the existing space. Not even once did Dr. Melita try to change my mind about this nor even later during the treatment did she bring this up ever. She respected it wholeheartedly that I could feel it every time we would talk about next steps in making space to move the teeth around. Another reason why she is be the best Orthodontist to me is is that she worked with my crown so well that I never thought it would look this good to be honest. During the treatment, she allowed for me to go to my dentist to get a temporary crown to reflect the actual position of my teeth to make sure she gets them to the actual positions they need to be as close as possible. Not even once during the treatment have I felt rushed. It felt as if Dr. Melita was giving me the care that she would actually give to her own self. I don't know how I can actually convince anyone via words without knowing me to go and at least have a chat with Dr. Melita but I can tell you this much; I became a bride with braces as I was THAT happy and comfortable with them. I had the option to remove them for the wedding but didn't even bother. And it was Dr. Melita who offered to take them off so I could have my pictures without braces. I can't imagine a single orthodontist ever offering that. Little things matter along with the major PART of getting beautiful results. I took my braces off almost 3 months ago and still waiting to get my permanent crown put on. During this process I'm still in touch with Dr. Melita's office frequently and even after finishing the treatment you must see how much they still care for you to make sure you get on the schedule as soon as possible. I never laughed or smiled as genuinely as I do now and I can't thank enough to Dr. Melita and everyone in her office for making it happen. You make all the waiting worthwhile. read more

See all

Dr. Melita is such a caring and kind practitioner who makes a difficult process easier. She treated all 3 of my children! We got several different estimates from different orthodontists, but we were much more comfortable with her and her approach to things. Her office staff are also wonderful - very responsive and make scheduling easy. read more

Wonderful practice! Dr. Melita is an excellent orthodontist of great skill, with a kind and caring manner that my daughter really loved. Dr. Melita and her staff did an excellent job with my daughter's difficult case that included braces and a palate expander. Dr. Melita was very patient in explaining the different parts of the procedures at every step of the way. Everyone here goes above and beyond to make nervous young patients feel comfortable, and to accommodate busy schedules. I recommend her practice highly, and my sister is also using her for her daughter's treatment. read more

There are excellent clinicians, and then there's Dr. Melita. This is my third time with braces. My only regret is that I didn't live in MA to do business with her in the past. Excellent service, extremely pleasant staff and assistants, superbly accommodating, clean waiting and treatment areas, and easy to do business with. We need more Dr. Molitas in this business! read more

Recently went back after years for some advice/help with my retainers and everyone from the receptionist, dental assistant, and Dr. Melita was great. Thank you :) read more

We highly recommend I highly recommend Dr. Melita's orthodontal practice. She is undoubtedly experienced and skillful. I am most grateful for her professionalism and prioritization of patient care even during very inconvenient hours. During my child's orthodontal treatment, we had emergencies, unfortunately twice and both happened during the odd hours over weekends. Recognizing Dr. Melita's practice is closed during the weekends, I called Dr. Melita, only hoping to get her advice remotely. Dr. Melita answered my calls immediately, not only providing her advice and explanation but also arranging to treat the emergency situation at her office asap and during her off-work hours! When a treatment goes easy or as planned, it is relatively difficult to differentiate the quality of care. The treatment and care we received during emergencies and unexpected events enabled us to recognize the outstanding patient care Dr. Melita provides. read more

Dr. Melita has been our family orthodontist for over ten years. Two of our three children have completed their treatment her. They both have very different personalities and had very different treatments. Both now have very beautiful smiles and are thrilled. This summer our son will begin his treatment here and I have complete confidence that his final outcome will be just as fantastic. Dr.Melita is obviously a phenomenal clinician and that was my first reason for going here.However, the staff she has is equally stellar and are a big part of the successful outcome. Elaine who is the office manager is wonderful and her warmth and professionalism is reflected in the waiting room. I can't say enough about Dr.Melita and her wonderful practice. I recommend Belmont Orthodontics 100%! read more

As my first yelp review ever, I wanted to pay homage to one of the most professional, innovative, and caring businesses I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Dr. Melita and her team are truly some of my most favorite people! I'm a thirty-something year old woman who after consulting with a few other orthodontists in the area, met with Dr. Melita and immediately knew I wanted to work with her. I had a complicated case which involved tooth extractions, braces, more tooth extractions and a tooth implant, all on a very precise timeline. All the afore mentioned procedures had to be performed because I was getting married and needed that "perfect smile" for my big day! Dr. Melita and her team worked seamlessly with my oral surgeons and general dentist to make this happen in the very specific timeline I needed... even if it meant someone coming into the office when the office was technically "closed." I liken the process to a beautifully choreographed dance that was perfectly executed by all who were involved... Belmont Orthodontics is worth every penny! The treatment area is newly renovated and very organized. I never felt out of place as an adult obtaining orthodontic treatment here. My treatment was always prompt, personalized and very thorough. I truly can not thank Belmont Orthodontics enough! I ended up with a gorgeous smile, a new-found confidence, and picture perfect teeth for my wedding! (And the rest of my life!) My future children, who will most likely be blessed with my crooked/extra teeth genes, will absolutely have the pleasure of coming here some day! read more

I have two kids who see Dr. Melita. Both of them started pretty young and I was worried that they might be scared by the experience, but all the staff doing the orthodontic work were kind and calming and worked so well with them. The whole team is great--from the front office to xrays and everything in between! Dr. Melita is also really committed to giving back to the community and is always doing exciting charitable activities that she can get patients involved with like the Holloween candy buy-back. My kids are counting the days until they get their bag of popcorn when the braces come off :0D Me and the kids have had nothing but positive experiences at Belmont Orthodotics and I recommend Dr. Melita and the team without any reservations. read more

Finding an orthodontist was intimidating for us. The dental practice we had always used quoted a very high price for the treatment plans, without being willing to give details on possible additional expenses. Belmont Orthodontics is closer to our home and had excellent reviews, so we arranged for a consultation. To my surprise, this smaller, independent practice offered a price that was nearly 1/3 lower than the local dental school's quote and walked me carefully through the proposed treatment plan, including possible necessary changes, depending on how the treatment progressed. Throughout the three years our kids have been patients, Dr. Melita has done a great job. Our oldest child's braces came off a year ago and her teeth look beautiful. Our youngest child's mouth has been considerably more stubborn and I have appreciated the work Dr. Melita has done to coax his teeth into the correct places. She is personable and on two occasions saw us for emergencies on days when the practice was closed. The front desk staff are always friendly and accommodating of our schedule's restrictions. Elaine explained the finances clearly and has handled insurance and payments smoothly. We highly recommend Belmont Orthodontics. read more

The biggest "win" is that Dr. Melita and the whole staff are so friendly and treat my 12 year old as her own individual . They work with her directly instead of acting like she is invisible in the room. This makes her feel comfortable and therefore she does not dread coming. read more

My family has been working with Dr. Melita and her team for the past few years. Dr. Melita has consistently explained the rationale, value, and goals of every step of the treatment course. Her staff is excellent at working with the busy schedules of a two working parent family. Would I suggest Dr. Melita and her team for your orthodontic needs...yes! read more

Braces: The unattractive connection that binds you literally to metal for the awkward years. Going to Belmont Orthodontics was something that my sister and I did growing up. Everything about this place is great. Dr. Melita is wonderful and her staff is professional and kind. If you need some braces, check them out! read more

Dr.Melita and the team are awesome! As an adult, I was hesitated at first and unsure of whether I should start to wear braces. Now after 15 months invisalign treatment, I am amazed at how good my teeth look like. I am very satisfied with the treatment as many people saying " you have beautiful smiles". I would say It is one of the greatest decision I've made in the past few years. I highly recommend Dr. Melita to anyone who is considering orthodontics. I feel very comfortable in the whole treatment process. People are nice and friendly here and the price is reasonable! read more

Belmont Orthodontics is the BEST place for braces! Dr Melitta is so kind as is all her staff. I have been coming here for years and I've never encountered any problems. read more

Not knowing for sure if Invisalign treatment would be possible for me as an older adult, Dr. Melita and her staff couldn't have been more competent and professional in reassuring me that treatment was possible. In under a year I have a new beautiful smile! And I cannot emphasize enough how nice the entire team is. Each office visit was so pleasant. Never had to wait - everyone is so personable. Dr. Melita really is an expert orthodontist plus one of the nicest people I've met. read more

Dr Melita and her staff are the best! On top of making my daughter's smile just right, they were so accommodating with scheduling appointments. The staff is extremely friendly and nurturing, they even sent my daughter flowers after an major sports injury. I highly recommend Dr Melita, you won't find a practice in the area more dedicated to serving you and giving the best care possible! read more

I would highly recommend Dr. Melita to any adult needing traditional orthodontics or invisalign. I work full time and she and her staff were always willing to schedule my appointments early in the morning or over lunch. The office is very modern and comfortable. There is a Keurig and free WiFi while you wait (I very rarely had to wait though). She stays involved in the community and usually hosts an ice cream social at the office on opening day of the Sox season. If you're thinking about Invisalign, think about seeing Dr. Melita. I am so happy with my smile :) read more

I had a wonderful experience here. It was 10+ years ago but it doesn't sound like anything has changed. Dr. Melita and her staff were always so nice and truly cared about me not only as a patient but as a person. They really made what could have been a horrible experience the best it could be. I am so thankful my parents invested in my smile and I get compliments on it often. I know I should wear my retainer more often and will probably be back soon to check on that! read more

I couldn't have asked for a better experience. After taking x-rays and photos, Dr. Melita herself carefully measured the gaps between my teeth and assessed their relative position. Then she proceeded to educate me on the specifics of my teeth placement, size, and bite. Her assessment was actually that no orthodontic treatment was necessary. It was so clear that her intentions were to provide the best care possible for my situation, even if it meant losing a sale. After the appointment, she even followed up with a personal email recounting her findings. I will definitely be returning to this office for future guidance and care! read more

Perfection itself! I had an impeccable experience from beginning to end. I did Invisalign as an adult. Dr Melita and her staff are A+++. My teeth are beautiful. I could not be happier. read more

Dr. Melita and her staff are great! Prior to my treatment, I have visited many orthodontists in the general Boston-Cambridge area to see what different dentists thought about how to approach my treatment. Although many of them had similar ideas and expectations, Dr. Melita was the only one who combined those into a transparent plan and explained all the details with realistic expectations of what I will be going through during and after the treatment. My specific treatment consisted of a year-long invisalign procedure, which they made easy to go through. I knew from the beginning what the end result would look like. Invisalign took some time to get used to at first, but it was easy to keep wearing them especially after I got accustomed to speaking with the aligners and removing them before eating. Most people won't even notice you have them on, which can be a plus every now and then. I honestly believe choosing Belmont Orthodontics was worth the hour-long commute every few weeks since they provided what I thought was the best possible service and treatment. I would highly recommend it to anyone considering orthodontic treatment. read more

Could not have been happier. I did this late in my life (was 63 years old when I started the treatment) and it was a fantastic experience. I did the Invisaligns which were incredible. Dr. Melita (Carolyn) is incredible at what she does and her staff supports her in an impeccable way. I could not have been any happier with the results. read more

Dr. Melita and her staff at Belmont Orthodontics are miracle workers. All three of my children have beautiful smiles because of their fine work. My son experiences a dramatic accident to his mouth. Dr. Melita was kind, compassionate and highly skilled in helping us through. I recently decided on Invisaligns and could not be happier. Dr. Melita is exceptional in every way...a top-notch practice and facility. read more

Dr. Melita and her staff are by far the best in the business. As a 30+ year old woman, I was quite reluctant to dive into the world of orthodontia. But after consultation with my dentist, and with Dr. Melita, I realized that correcting my teeth wasn't just about a nice smile, it was about my overall oral health. I had quite a complicated case, which involved multiple tooth extractions, pulling a tooth down, and several small procedures to help close the large gaps created by the extractions. The whole process took just under 3 years, during which time I got pregnant and had my third child, which meant my treatment had to be slightly tailored to accommodate pregnancy. Dr. Melita's office worked with my dentist's office and they made things so easy by helping to schedule dental cleanings around appointments and removing my wires before my cleanings to make it easier for the dental hygienist (and me!). Dr. Melita collaborated so well with my dentist, Dr. Toyias, which just made everything so much easier. I couldn't be happier with the results, and I am so glad I chose to go to Dr. Melita. I knew right away that I wanted her to fix my teeth, and couldn't imagine anyone doing a better job or providing better care than Dr. Melita. She would check in on me after some of the procedures I had just to make sure i doing OK, and she even removed my top braces for my sister's wedding (for 4 days) so that I could smile big and bright without having to worry about the braces. Dr. Melita is a genuine person and cared about me not just as a patient, but as a person. I would recommend her and her practice to anyone that is in need of orthodontic care. Should my children need braces, I will absolutely be bringing them to Dr. Melita! read more

After interviewing several orthodontists, we were easily SOLD on Dr. Melitta and her Belmont Orthodontics practice! From day 1 to the "Big Beautiful Smile" day when my braces were removed, Dr. Melitta and her entire staff made having braces an easy and pleasant experience. They are not only professional, but very friendly, kind and sincere. I would strongly recommend them - they're the BEST around! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Melita and her staff. I am in my 30's and felt not comfortable wearing braces; plus, I was relocated from AZ to MA after putting on my braces for 6 months. Today I got my braces taken off and my teeth looks far better than I imagined! During the whole process, Dr. Melita showed me each key steps, risk/benefits, she did her due diligence on my past history, evaluated potential risks, informed me all the move- forward plan. The initial doubts and uncomfortness disappeared and I am so lucky I chose work with Dr. Melita during the past 14 months- her staff are very friendly, patient, responsive. I am very grateful! I noticed that Dr. Melita is also supporting communication education and school activities. I highly recommend Dr. Melita and her staff- your journey with Dr. Melita will be much more comfortable and bear great result (smile) at the end. read more

Dr. Melita did a fantastic job with my Invisalign treatment. I am very happy with my results- Her staff is great as well, answered any questions I had. Would highly recommend her practice. read more
