About Smiles Orthodontics
Smiles Orthodontics is a dental practice on North Resler Drive 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.
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.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.
A first appointment at a new practice typically covers a full examination, a review of your dental and medical history, and a professional cleaning, with X-rays if you do not have recent ones. It is also a reasonable time to raise any longer-term concerns, cosmetic or otherwise, so they can be factored into a plan going forward.
Day-to-day oral health still comes down to the basics between visits — brushing twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning between the teeth, and limiting how often sugary food and drink appear through the day matters more than the total amount eaten at once. Regular professional care is what catches whatever those habits do not.
Digital X-rays are a routine part of dental care because they show what a visual exam alone cannot — decay forming between teeth, bone loss below the gumline, and how developing adult teeth are positioned in children. They use a low radiation dose and are taken on a schedule matched to individual risk rather than at every single visit.

My experience was exceptional. The environment fostered a sense of warmth and hospitality.
Excellent staff!
The staff at Smiles Orthodontics is the best. Any time I need anything in between appointments they are there to help. Highly recommend, I love this place!! I love everything about Smiles Orthodontics. The staff is the best, Dr. is the best!! If I could give this place 100 stars, I would. Can’t say enough good things about everyone at Smiles Orthodontics. Love Love!!
Very impressed with the office and staff. I’m so glad they are in-network. The aligners have done wonders on my teeth after eight months. I will use retainers religiously from now on. I highly recommend Dr Menéndez and staff.
I've had a great experience with Smiles throughout my orthodontic treatment. The entire team is always so friendly and welcoming, and they genuinely care about their patients. One thing I really appreciate is that they're always willing to answer my questions and explain things in a way that's easy to understand. I've never felt rushed or like I was asking too many questions. They've also been very accommodating whenever I've needed to come in unexpectedly. I'm so happy with my results so far, and I'm grateful for all the care and support I've received from the team at Smiles. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for an orthodontist!
Dr. Melendez and team are fantastic. They are fast and friendly and are very transparent in all of their care. I would definitely recommend them to whoever needs their services.
The office is amazing and the staff is just so accommodating and helpful! We were moving out of state from Tacoma and Dr. Menendez’s office came highly recommended from my ortho doc. She took me in as a new patient mid-treatment, caught some gaps in my teeth the previous office had missed, and she was honest and upfront saying I needed another year of treatment for everything to be up to her standards (which I really appreciated) and my smile is a testament to her absolutely killer skills and her keen eye. Will recommend over and over and over again whenever I can! The staff is just so helpful and easy to work with! I absolutely loved working with Shell and Melissa and Neal, they bring such a great and easygoing vibe to the office and one that I really appreciated, especially when I would end up having to take my toddler into appointments with me since we have no family in the area, and were very new to El Paso when we first moved here. Thank you again to the Smiles Orthodontics team! You couldn’t ask for a better team to be in charge of your smile.
"We’ve had a wonderful experience here at Smiles Orthodontics for my daughter’s orthodontic care. Dr. Menendez and her staff are incredibly professional, and the service is always top-notch. The entire team is extremely caring and always makes her feel comfortable and at ease. I especially appreciate how they value our time—wait times are minimal, and we’re always in and out quickly!"
We had a wonderful experience with this orthodontist office. Everything was handled efficiently from start to finish, which made each visit smooth and stress-free. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the orthodontist was very thorough, taking the time to explain everything clearly. We truly appreciate the high quality of care and attention we received—highly recommend!
I took my daughter here. Everyone and I mean every single person there is fantastic. They're quick, friendly ,knowledgeable, and super flexible about payments. Super positive environment. I drive from horizon city to the Westside because of the service provided by the employees. There's a closer one near me but my daughter insisted we keep with the west side. Thank you to all of you.
Dr. Menendez was very helpful and caring. She provided some helpful advice and guidance. She also gave recognition to some of the things I was doing. Left feeling like she was listening and providing support and positive feedback.
