Your smile deserves care from orthodontic specialists who focus only on straightening teeth and correcting bites. At Cater Galante Orthodontics, we offer treatments designed to fit your lifestyle and goals.

Metal braces use brackets and wires to steadily move teeth into their proper positions. We treat kids, teens, and adults with customized braces plans that address crowding, spacing, and bite concerns.

Invisalign provides a nearly invisible way to align your teeth with clear, comfortable trays. As a top-tier Invisalign provider, our orthodontic specialists have the expertise to handle simple and complex cases alike.

What ages do you treat at your practice?
We treat patients of all ages, from children as young as 7 to adults in their 60s and beyond. Early evaluations help us catch developing concerns in kids. Teen treatment addresses alignment during growth spurts. Adult orthodontics is more popular than ever, and our discreet options make it easy to straighten your smile at any stage of life.
Do you offer free consults?
Yes! We offer a free consult where you’ll meet our orthodontic specialists, learn about your treatment options, and get answers to all your questions. There’s no pressure and no obligation. It’s simply a chance to explore what’s possible for your smile and to see if we’re the right fit for your family.
How long does Invisalign treatment typically take?
Most Invisalign cases take around a year to a year and a half, though timing varies based on your specific needs. Some simpler cases finish sooner. During your free consult, we’ll give you a personalized timeline based on your goals and dental anatomy so you know what to expect from day one.
Do you accept insurance and offer payment plans?
We work with most dental insurance plans that include orthodontic benefits. Our team will help you understand your coverage and get the most from your benefits. We also offer low monthly payment plans through flexible financing, making treatment accessible for Marysville families on any budget.
When should my child have their first orthodontic evaluation?
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an initial evaluation by age 7. At this age, enough permanent teeth have emerged for us to identify developing concerns. Early evaluation doesn’t always mean early treatment. It gives us the chance to monitor growth and recommend the right timing for your child’s care.
