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!
“Great experience and Great results!”

Dr. Cater knows his stuff, as I have come to find out since I started coming here as a young kid. He is hilarious, explains the process well, and is great for kids and adults alike. They have a lot of patience for kids who did not follow the instructions to the letter, and they have always been good to me.

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 :-)

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!

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.

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.
