Great experience at Cater Galante Orthodontics, I couldn’t be happier with the results from my Invisalign treatment. It was a much easier process than I anticipated and in less than a year had the smile I always wanted. The entire staff is very friendly and professional and did a great job of explaining the process and what I needed to do to get the best results. Thank you Amy for making me feel comfortable during this process. I would highly recommend their services, you won’t be disappointed.
