What to Expect at Our Brownsville Office
78521 PPO ortho rider verification
Before your records appointment we call your carrier to confirm the orthodontic rider is active, whether the lifetime max has been used by a sibling on the same plan, and whether banding is paid as a lump-sum or monthly. You leave the consult with a written breakdown, not an estimate.
Saturday sibling stacking on Southmost Blvd
Saturday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM is reserved for family blocks — we schedule adjustments, separators, and progress photos for siblings in back-to-back chairs so one parent covers the whole family in a single visit.
Bilingual treatment-plan handoff at Suite 103
Dr. Merta presents the plan in the language the decision-maker prefers, and our assistants — including Anna and Ms. Carmela — repeat instructions in Spanish or English for the patient in the chair so nothing is lost between parent and teen.

Why Clear Aligners Is Worth It — Brownsville
Straight teeth aren't just cosmetic — they're healthier teeth.
Crowding and crossbite left untreated through the mixed-dentition window get harder and longer to correct once the permanent canines erupt and the midpalatal suture begins to fuse.
A loose band or broken bracket that sits for more than a few days lets the archwire shift, which can reverse weeks of tooth movement and extend total treatment time.
A poking archwire or dislodged ligature that irritates the cheek or tongue can ulcerate the mucosa within 24–48 hours, making the next adjustment visit painful and pushing back banding progress.

What's Included in Your Clear Aligners — Brownsville
Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Brownsville, TX for clear aligners:
Panoramic and cephalometric records
A full ortho records set — panoramic radiograph, lateral ceph, intraoral and extraoral photos, and digital impressions — captured at the first visit to map skeletal and dental relationships before appliance selection.
ABO discrepancy index and growth analysis
Dr. Merta scores arch-length discrepancy, overjet, overbite, and cephalometric angles against skeletal maturity to decide between interceptive Phase I, comprehensive Phase II, or single-phase treatment.
Separator placement and band fitting
Elastomeric separators are seated interproximally for 5–7 days, then bands are sized to the first molars and cemented with glass-ionomer before bracket bonding on the remaining arch.
Direct bracket bonding with light-cure adhesive
Each bracket is positioned with a height gauge relative to the marginal ridge, etched with 37% phosphoric acid, primed, and bonded with a light-cured adhesive before the initial NiTi archwire is engaged.
Archwire progression and elastic wear
Patients cycle through round NiTi, rectangular NiTi, and stainless-steel archwires over the course of treatment, with Class II or Class III elastics prescribed at the adjustment interval Dr. Merta sets for your bite.
Debanding and fixed-plus-removable retention
At debond, composite is removed with a tungsten-carbide bur and polished, a bonded lingual retainer is placed on the lower anteriors, and a clear overlay retainer is delivered for the upper arch with a wear schedule.

Frequently Asked Questions About Clear Aligners
Where is your Southmost orthodontics office and how do I find the entrance?
We're at 2950 Southmost Blvd, Suite 103, Brownsville, TX 78521 — Suite 103 is on the ground level of the strip, with parking directly in front of the door. Call us at (956) 413-7537 if you need directions from Boca Chica or the 802 Loop.
Can all three of my kids get their braces adjustments on the same Saturday?
Yes — our Saturday hours are 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM, and we routinely block sibling adjustments back-to-back so one parent isn't doing three separate trips. Call ahead so we can stack the chairs for you.
Do you take my PPO, and will the ortho benefit be verified before my consult?
We run benefits verification before your first records appointment, so you'll know the in-network status of your plan's orthodontic rider and any lifetime max remaining before you sit down with Dr. Merta. If something isn't covered, we tell you before the banding appointment, not after.
What are your weekday hours if a bracket breaks after school?
Monday through Friday we're open 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM, so after-school bracket repairs and wire pokes are almost always same-day. Closed Sundays.
