Our Guadalupe Street office sits at 910 Guadalupe Suite A in downtown Laredo, a short walk from San Agustín Plaza and the Laredo Center for the Arts, and a few blocks off I-35 before the Juárez-Lincoln Bridge. Families from El Azteca, Santo Niño, and Heights roll in between school pickup at Martin High and dinner on San Bernardo, and plenty of parents cross over from Nuevo Laredo for the bilingual ortho consults.

In a 78040 ZIP where most households speak Spanish at home and a big share of teens carry CHIP, orthodontics here has to clear two bars at once: a teen who wants clear aligners before yearbook photos, and a parent who needs a monthly number that fits a Laredo ISD pay schedule. That's what this office is built around — downtown access, border-family scheduling, and a front desk that handles both languages without the teen tuning out mid-conversation.

Meet Your Laredo Team

Care You Can Count On

Dr. Jia Ming Shi leads orthodontic care at the Guadalupe Street office, and the rhythm of the practice reflects how border families actually book. Teens get walked through bracket options and clear aligner trays in English with the parent looped in in Spanish on the same visit — no translating back at home over dinner.

The team keeps adjustment appointments short and predictable so a student can be back at Martin or United High in time for seventh period, and Saturday 9 AM to 4 PM slots open up for working parents who can't leave a shift at the port or the hospital mid-week. Treatment plans are written out with the monthly payment number on the same page as the appliance choice, and the same front desk handles CHIP orthodontic supplement verification and commercial ortho rider questions so nobody gets bounced between offices mid-treatment.

Orthodontics FAQ — Laredo

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.
