Schertz families already share so much with us here in Cibolo: the same schools, the same Friday night games, the same stretch of FM 1103. Many of the smiles we treat every day belong to students at Samuel Clemens High School and neighbors from Rolling Oaks to The Crossvine. Choosing an orthodontist serving Schertz, TX shouldn’t mean choosing between a big corporate group and a long drive into San Antonio. At Embrace Orthodontics, you get a board-certified specialist, one doctor who guides your care from first visit to final retainer, and an office close enough to fit into a school-day schedule.
Our office sits at 791 FM 1103, Suite 113 in Cibolo, on the same road that carries Schertz families home every day. From most Schertz neighborhoods, you can reach us in about ten minutes: take FM 3009 or FM 78 toward Cibolo, then follow FM 1103 north. Coming from I-35, exit FM 1103 and head toward Cibolo; the office is on your right, with easy parking at the door.
That closeness matters during orthodontic treatment, because braces and aligners mean regular visits. A quick hop from Schertz beats a trek across Loop 1604 every six to eight weeks.
Schertz is one of the fastest-growing cities in the San Antonio metro, with more than 40,000 residents spread between I-35, FM 78 and FM 3009. Its heart is the Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City Independent School District, the district our own Cibolo families share, which is exactly why so many Schertz students already call our office their orthodontic home. Weekends here mean Crescent Bend Nature Park trails, shopping near Rolling Oaks, and community traditions like the Jubilee parade in July and Holidazzle in December.
