Dr Erfan Salloum is a Specialist Orthodontist providing high-end orthodontic care for children, adolescents, and adults. He is the Principal Orthodontist and Clinical Director at Lusk Orthodontics in North Dublin and also works as an Associate Orthodontist at the Institute of Specialist and Cosmetic Dentistry (ISCD) in Dublin city centre.
Dr Salloum is known for combining a strong focus on facial aesthetics with careful attention to function, bite stability, and long-term oral health. His approach is centred on accurate diagnosis, evidence-based treatment planning, and selecting the most appropriate orthodontic solution for each individual patient rather than relying on a single technique or appliance.
He is the only orthodontist in Ireland to hold board certification in clear aligner therapy through the European Board of Aligner Orthodontics, under the auspices of the European Aligner Society. He is also the only orthodontist in Ireland to have achieved Active Membership status in both the European Society of Lingual Orthodontics and the World Society of Lingual Orthodontics.
These credentials require extensive evaluation of clinical work by international orthodontic committees and peers, with cases assessed against established orthodontic gold standards. Achieving this level of recognition is exceptionally demanding and reflects the high standard of clinical care, precision, and consistency that Dr Salloum applies in his private orthodontic practice.

Dr. Erfan Salloum consistently shows a professional and clear approach with patients. He applies expertise to complex orthodontic treatments, including clear aligners, lingual braces, and palatal expansion for children and adults. Dr. Salloum addresses challenging bite and airway concerns, provides tailored plans, and coordinates with other specialists. His care is highly regarded for orthodontics, adult braces, and invisible teeth straightening.
I’d been putting off orthodontic treatment for years, mostly because I wasn’t sure who to trust with it. A friend recommended Dr. Salloum and I’m really glad I went. His credentials are genuinely impressive - specialist qualifications from multiple Royal Colleges across Ireland, Edinburgh and England, plus a European Board certification in orthodontics. But honestly, what struck me more was how he actually uses that knowledge in practice. He explained my options clearly, didn’t push me towards anything, and gave me a realistic picture of what treatment would involve. No hard sell, no fluff. He has a calm, unhurried manner that made the whole process far less daunting than I expected. Every appointment felt like he actually remembered who I was and where we were in the treatment. Small thing maybe, but it matters. The clinical side was spot on throughout. He clearly keeps up with newer techniques and approaches things thoughtfully rather than just defaulting to whatever’s most convenient. I felt like the treatment was genuinely tailored to me. The results have been great and I’d have no hesitation going back or recommending him to anyone looking for an orthodontic specialist in Dublin.
Dr Erfan Salloum is without question one of the best orthodontists in Ireland. After researching orthodontic treatment extensively across Dublin and Ireland, I can confidently say that his expertise, innovation, and patient care are on another level. From the very first consultation, it was clear that Dr Salloum combines exceptional clinical skill with a genuinely caring and highly professional approach. What truly sets him apart is the breadth of advanced orthodontic treatments he offers for children, teens, and adults. Whether you are considering fixed braces, clear aligners, lingual braces hidden behind the teeth, airway orthodontics, or palatal expansion, Dr Salloum delivers treatment plans that are modern, evidence-based, and incredibly personalised. His knowledge of airway-focused orthodontics and facial development is especially impressive, helping patients not only achieve straighter teeth but also improved breathing, jaw development, facial balance, and long-term oral health. For parents looking for early orthodontic intervention, Dr Salloum’s expertise in palatal expansion for children and teenagers is remarkable. He clearly understands how proper jaw development can positively influence breathing, sleep, and facial growth. At the same time, he also offers advanced adult orthodontic solutions, including discreet aligners and lingual braces for professionals who want outstanding results without visible braces.

Thank you very much for your kind words.

I highly recommend Dr Erfan Salloum to anyone seeking high quality orthodontic care.

Thank you sincerely for your very kind words. I truly appreciate your trust and recommendation.
Dr Erfan Salloum treated our whole family, myself, my husband, and our two children, and we could not be happier with the experience. What impressed us most is how skilled he is across every type of orthodontic treatment. I had Invisalign-style clear aligners, my husband chose lingual braces, one of our children had fixed braces, and the other needed a more complex plan with an expander, a functional bite corrector, and then braces. In every case, the treatment was handled with such expertise and confidence. It is widely recognised that Dr Erfan’s orthodontic skills are exceptional, but what really sets him apart is his kind and professional manner. He explained everything clearly, kept us informed at every stage, and made sure we always felt comfortable and reassured throughout the process. That level of communication and genuine care is something we truly value, and it is not easy to find in healthcare. We feel very lucky to have been treated by him and would recommend him without hesitation to anyone looking for outstanding orthodontic care.

Thank you so much for such a heartfelt review. It was a real privilege to look after you and your family, and I’m truly grateful for the trust you placed in me throughout each stage of treatment. I’m delighted you all felt informed, comfortable, and happy with the results. Your kind words genuinely mean a great deal.

The current advice with regard to finishing and detailing has been presented, with pointers to what is relevant in relation to aesthetics, function and stability.
