Dr. Mehr is truly the best and kindest orthodontist we have ever met. She always greets us with a smile and brings such encouragement to every visit. We genuinely love coming to the office and seeing her. The entire staff is wonderful as well—friendly, patient, and supportive. My daughter has had quite a few broken brackets, and every time, Dr. Mehr and her team have fixed them without any judgment, showing nothing but kindness and understanding. We feel so lucky to have found her and this amazing office. We recommend Dr. Mehr to everyone!

He takes the time to explain every step, listens without rushing, and makes sure I always feel comfortable and informed. His attention to detail and genuine commitment to his patients’ well‑being set him apart. I’m incredibly grateful for the experience he provides and the confidence he brings to every visit.
I absolutely love the entire staff. My experience for the first time was amazing! They helped me when no one else would. I drive all the way from Lake Charles, La for an appointment like this. And I’m so happy to have an entire year of ortho work with them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Choosing an orthodontist is an important decision, and it’s natural to have questions before starting treatment. Below are answers to some of the most common questions patients and families ask when visiting Greater Houston Orthodontics.

Do I need a referral to schedule an orthodontic consultation?

No referral is necessary. You can contact our office directly to schedule your complimentary orthodontic consultation. Our team will evaluate your smile and discuss the best treatment options for your needs.

Most patients visit the office every 6 to 8 weeks for adjustments or progress checks. These visits help ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.

Yes. Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, which can reduce the risk of cavities, gum disease, and uneven wear on your teeth. Proper bite alignment can also improve chewing and overall dental function.

Many dental insurance plans include orthodontic benefits that may help cover part of the treatment cost. Our team will review your insurance coverage and help you understand your benefits.

Both options are effective. Traditional braces are excellent for correcting more complex orthodontic issues, while Invisalign clear aligners are a discreet and comfortable alternative for many patients. During your consultation, our orthodontists will recommend the best option for your specific smile.
