About Rivera Orthodontics
Rivera Orthodontics is a dental practice on Paseo del Norte in the Northwest El Paso area of El Paso, Texas. Orthodontic treatment straightens teeth and corrects bite problems using braces, clear aligners, or similar appliances over a period that commonly runs from about a year to several years depending on the case. It is offered to both children, where early evaluation can catch developing issues, and adults at any age.
Continuity matters in dental care — seeing the same practice over time means your history, X-rays, and any patterns in your oral health are already on file, rather than starting from scratch at each visit. That familiarity is part of what a regular dental home offers beyond any single appointment.
Dental anxiety is common, and most practices are used to working with nervous patients — through clear explanations of what is about to happen, a slower pace where needed, and sedation options for patients who want them. Avoiding the dentist out of anxiety tends to make eventual treatment more involved, not less.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.

Awesome associates and staff. Thank you for all you do.
The Staff and Dr are AMAZING. My son...is complicated. He has medical PTSD and everyone who touched him was careful and thoughtful. William had a mess in his mouth, teeth all over the place and a huge overbite. That's has all been fixed! Thank you Rivera Orthodontics!!
My appointments are usually in the evening after work, and I appreciate how organized the flow is even during busy hours. Even when the clinic is full, they manage timing in a way that patients are not just sitting and waiting endlessly. That structure makes a big difference.
Rivera Orthodontics is truly the place to go! Dr. Rivera is an exceptional doctor who genuinely cares about patients and their results. The staff is amazing friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable, making every visit a great experience. I highly recommend Rivera Orthodontics to anyone looking for top quality care and outstanding service!
Dr Rivera and all his staff is amazing. All my process was seamless and definetly recommend them!
The front desk girls, Connie and Jessica are welcoming and so sweet. My anxiety is horrible and my teeth are sensitive. From the beginning Doctor asked to give him a chance and I'm so glad I did! I always felt and feel comfortable telling doctor my thoughts and concerns; and his honestly about what he wanted during treatment is commendable. Doctor, I am so happy you said, "I like those teeth there" and "I'm happy with the way that tooth sits". Diana worked with me the entire time, she knew I couldn't complete treatment without her help due to my anxiety. Diana working with me has been a beyond a huge blessing! Truthfully, my words cannot describe how blessed I feel to be one of Dr. Riveras and Diana's patients. Doctor also did a little touch up at the end and I was blown away with how beautiful he did! Warmly, Monique
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ × 100! Today my son had his braces removed after completing his second phase, and we couldn’t be happier. We truly love this office. The front staff is always extremely professional and friendly, and every tech we’ve worked with has been amazing. A special shout-out to Brissa, who works with both of my children—she is wonderful and so patient. And of course, Dr. Rivera is the best. He always takes the time to explain everything, offers reassurance and support, and is friendly while being genuinely compassionate with his patients. My daughter is still a patient, and having two kids in braces can be a lot—but this office has been incredibly helpful. They’ve worked with us to schedule appointments at times that make sense for our family, which has made the entire process so much easier. We are beyond grateful and highly recommend them!
My daughter just got her braces removed. The entire experience has been wonderful. The entire staff has been courteous, and professional every step of the way. Dr Rivera never fail to communicate and keep us informed of the purpose of each change in the treatment. All of that being said I am thrilled to report my daughter's smile is dazzling. She has smiling ear to ear. Thank you Rivera Orthodontics this experience has been nothing short of exceptional.
All 6 of my kids have gone to Rivera Orthodontics. Love Dr. Rivera. Love the staff. My kids' teeth are gorgeous! Their dentist told me that she could tell Dr. Rivera is their orthodontist because their teeth are SO perfect and he is a perfectionist. Top notch practice! Definitely recommend.
