What to Expect at Our Brownsville Office

Suite #4 plaza check-in off Paredes

Park directly in front of suite #4 at 2155 Ruben M Torres Blvd — the door opens straight into the waiting area, no elevator or parking garage to navigate. Fernanda typically handles ortho intake and pulls your PPO benefits up before you're called back.

PPO eligibility pull before the chair

We run your commercial plan through the clearinghouse at check-in — the ortho lifetime max, age cutoff, and remaining benefit come back before records start. Families with Delta, Aetna, MetLife, or UnitedHealthcare walk out of the consult knowing the exact out-of-pocket.

Spanish-English handoff between chair and front

Clinical instructions in Spanish from Dr. Carreon get echoed back in English at the front desk when a bilingual teen is translating for a parent — so aftercare and next-visit timing don't get lost between the exam room and the car.

Why Traditional Braces Is Worth It — Brownsville

Straight teeth aren't just cosmetic — they're healthier teeth.

✓

Untreated crowding and crossbites tend to worsen with continued jaw growth, and earlier intervention typically uses less appliance time and fewer extractions.

✓

Protrusive upper incisors carry a meaningful trauma risk during sports and playground falls — early alignment reduces the lever arm that makes a clean fracture more likely.

✓

Functional problems like open bite, deep bite, and anterior crossbite can wear enamel and strain the TMJ the longer they go uncorrected, complicating later treatment.

What's Included in Your Traditional Braces — Brownsville

Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Brownsville, TX for traditional braces:

Panoramic and cephalometric records

Full diagnostic records — panoramic radiograph, lateral cephalometric film, intraoral and extraoral photos, and digital or alginate impressions — captured in-house to build the treatment plan.

Bracket bonding with light-cured adhesive

Enamel is pumiced, etched with phosphoric acid, primed, and each bracket is positioned and light-cured to the crown with a composite adhesive following the archwire prescription.

NiTi initial archwire engagement

A light, superelastic nickel-titanium archwire is seated into the slots and secured with elastomeric ligatures to begin gentle leveling and aligning in the first phase.

Elastomeric separator placement for bands

Before molar banding, small elastomeric separators are floss-threaded between the molars and held for several days to create the space a stainless band will occupy.

4–8 week adjustment and archwire progression

Patients return every four to eight weeks for wire progression through heavier NiTi, stainless steel, and finishing wires, with ligature changes and inter-arch elastics added when the bite calls for it.

Debond, polish, and fixed/removable retention

At the end of active treatment brackets are removed with debonding pliers, residual adhesive is polished off with a tungsten-carbide bur, and a bonded lingual wire plus clear Essix-style retainer are delivered.
