What to Expect at Our Laredo Office
CHIP ortho supplement check at 910 Guadalupe
The front desk pulls CHIP orthodontic supplement benefits and any commercial ortho rider before the teen sits in the consult chair, so the monthly payment number is on the treatment plan — not a guess after the scan.
Teen-in-English, parent-in-Spanish consult
Dr. Shi walks the teen through bracket versus clear aligner choice in English while the parent gets the cost, duration, and CHIP-coverage conversation in Spanish at the same chair — no translating back home.
After-Martin-High adjustment windows
Weekday hours run until 7:00 PM so adjustment visits fit after the Martin High or United High final bell, and Saturday 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM slots cover parents working shifts at the port or the hospital.

Why Traditional Braces Is Worth It — Laredo
Straight teeth aren't just cosmetic — they're healthier teeth.
Crowding and bite issues that are easy to correct in the early teen years get harder — and longer — to move once permanent teeth and jaw growth lock in.
A misaligned bite forces uneven wear on enamel and stresses the jaw joint, which shows up later as chipped teeth, headaches, or TMJ pain that didn't have to happen.
Teens who delay starting treatment past sophomore year often finish brackets or trays after graduation, turning what could have been a high-school timeline into a college-years one.

What's Included in Your Traditional Braces — Laredo
Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Laredo, TX for traditional braces:
Panoramic and cephalometric imaging
A full panoramic film plus lateral cephalometric X-ray captures tooth positions, jaw relationship, and growth pattern so the treatment plan is built on the actual bite, not a guess from photos.
Digital intraoral scan for aligner trays
An intraoral scanner replaces goopy impression trays to capture upper and lower arches in minutes — the scan drives both the clear aligner series and the bracket bonding setup.
Bracket bonding or clear aligner delivery
Teeth are etched and primed, then brackets are bonded with light-cured adhesive and the initial archwire is engaged — or the first clear aligner tray is seated with attachments placed on the selected teeth.
Archwire progression and elastics
Wires step from flexible nickel-titanium into heavier stainless steel across adjustment visits, with intermaxillary elastics added when the bite needs Class II or Class III correction.
Debond, polish, and fixed or removable retainer
At finish, brackets are removed and residual adhesive is polished off with a finishing bur, and a bonded lingual wire or clear Essix retainer is delivered to hold the new alignment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Traditional Braces
Where is the Guadalupe Laredo office and how do I get there from I-35?
We're at 910 Guadalupe Street Suite A, Laredo, TX 78040 — downtown, just off I-35 near San Agustín Plaza and a few minutes from the Juárez-Lincoln Bridge. Call (956) 884-4840 if you need directions in English or Spanish.
Do you take CHIP orthodontic coverage and offer a monthly payment for braces or clear aligners?
Yes — we verify CHIP orthodontic supplement benefits and commercial ortho riders on-site, and we write a monthly payment amount into the treatment plan before you commit to brackets or trays.
What hours work for an after-school adjustment or a Saturday visit?
Monday through Friday we're open 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM so teens can come after the Martin or United bell, and Saturdays we run 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM. We're closed Sundays.
If something breaks on a bracket or wire, can we come in the same day?
Call (956) 884-4840 — we keep same-day slots for active ortho patients at the Guadalupe Street office so a poking wire or loose bracket doesn't wait until Monday.
