Bio
I thoroughly and passionately enjoy what I do & I love being an orthodontist! I feel incredibly grateful to work with so many unique and special people every day. I have a great sense of joy when an adult or adolescent patient tells me how much I have helped them.
While I help people, I feel I get so much more in return. As I view letters of appreciation and thanks from patients, or hear how I have transformed someone’s personal or work life, it is hard to describe the feelings of satisfaction and happiness that I feel. When I hear a young person say how much they appreciate some of the things we do in the community and say they want to be like me in the future, it is both humbling and gratifying.
I became an orthodontist out of a desire to help people and make a positive, lasting difference in their lives. In my early days as a general dentist, I was happy when I could relieve someone’s pain. It was incredibly satisfying.
My personal and professional goals are the same: always to evolve and constantly learn, so I can make treatment better and easier for my patients. Each year I exceed the New York State requirements for continuing education. Keeping up to date allows me to bring the latest technology, techniques, and scientific information to my office to make care more comfortable, convenient, and easy for my patients. We always want to be on the forefront of science and technology to provide exceptional care, just as we would do for our own family. We are never complacent and strive to be the very best at what we do.

What We Offer
At Catania Orthodontics, we deliver exceptional orthodontic care. Dr. Catania combines his scientific interests with his desire to help people be healthy and happy, and achieve their best smile.
SureSmile & Damon Braces
Suresmile and the Damon system are changing the way people view braces. These advanced braces and light force, shape-memory wires move the teeth more gently and efficiently allowing for greater comfort, fewer appointments, and a beautiful smile in less time.
Clear Braces
Clear Aligners
Spark Clear aligners are increasing in popularity because of their discreet look and accuracy in straightening teeth. Spark Clear Aligners fit comfortably and efficiently move the teeth to create a beautiful, straight smile.
Invisalign aligners are also a popular custom-made alternative to traditional metal braces for straightening teeth. Invisalign uses clear, comfortable plastic trays that fit over the teeth and gradually shift them into the desired position.
Technology
Dr. Joseph Catania employs the most advanced orthodontic technologies to make your care more convenient and comfortable than ever before. With state-of-the-art technology and a knowledgeable and caring staff, you can achieve the smile of your dreams. Dr. Catania and his team have been a technology leader in Syracuse for decades!
