No hassle ortho treatment

Dr. Cater and Dr. Galante have done great job at following through with Ruvim's ortho treatment. The ivisalign in connection with the phone app "DM" has made the treatment a breeze for our family since there were very few office visit required. No worry about being late to appointment or driving to the office every week or so. Thank you Dr. Cater and Galante.

Great experience and Great results!

Everyday in the office is a great day! I always leave with a bigger smile than when I walked in. My teeth have improved so much from when I joined to now. I feel so much comfortable smiling in public now knowing how well my teeth look. The people who work here are so nice and work hard to make your smile perfect. They greet you with a big smile everyday and create great conversations with you. An overall great experience!

Best ortho experience

All other orthodontists I visited stated I would have to go through jaw surgery to fix my bite. After visiting Dr. Cater and Dr. Galante, they assured me they could help without surgery and do so in Invisalign! I am more than impressed with the results. They really are your biggest cheerleaders :-)

Amazing!

My overall experience was an amazing one. I couldn't be happier with the results of my treatment. I would highly recommend Cater Galante Orthodontics to anyone who may be considering invisalign treatment.

Amazing Transformation

I've have been with Cater and Galante for a long time and they both are amazing! They're very informative and very helpful into making your smile the best it can be. I've had my braces on for 2.5 years and when I got them off, they were celebrating with me and double checking to see if they got the glue off. I would give them 10 stars because they have gone above and beyond to help me get the smile I have always wanted!

Best decision ever made.

With my previous ortho experiences, I wish I would have known about Cater Galante much sooner. The Staff is incredibly friendly and professional, I am always greeted at the door by name, they make me feel welcome every single time. Donna has been amazing, and she has done wonders with my smile, I have more confidence because of her and I could never thank her enough. I whole heartedly recommend this orthodontic facility to anyone who wants to feel good again.

Both Dr Cater & Galante are wonderful! They made my daughter's first orthodontic experience joyous! My daughter can be a challenging patient and Dr. Galante made sure to take his time treating her and to make sure she felt as comfortable as possible! Thank you so much!

Dr. Cater is the best orthodontists ever!!! 20 years later and my teeth are still straight!!

Dr. Caters was my orthodontist as a child. I was told that my teeth were going to be hard to fix but Dr Cater reassured my mother & I not to worry, that he could help me. Within just a month & a half I could see the difference. Not too long after my teeth were straight!!! Over 20 years later, they are still straight. Once I became a mother and when it came time for my son to need braces, I was lucky to find Dr. Cater again. Without a doubt we chose Dr. Cater and I love how great his teeth look.
