Frequently Asked Questions:
The consultation typically lasts about 80 minutes.
The first 15 minutes of the consultation is dedicated to taking full orthodontic records including photos and x-rays at no charge which will assist our orthodontists in planning you or your child’s treatment.
During the next 30 minutes you will meet our orthodontist and have a 1-on-1 discussion with our treatment coordinator about possible orthodontic treatments. During this time, you will have the opportunity to discuss any orthodontic and dental problems you may be concerned about.
There are 5 essential questions that we will cover during the consultation:
- Is there an orthodontic problem, and if so, what is it?
- What treatment options are available to you to correct the problem? (i.e. braces, clear aligners, expander, etc.)
- What is the estimated length of treatment?
- What is the total cost of treatment?
- What payment options are available?
No, the consultation is completely FREE. This includes an examination, all photos and x-rays (orthodontic records), and a 30 minute consultation with our treatment coordinators and orthodontists.
We want you to be completely comfortable and well-informed in your decision making process.
There are no hidden fees. The entire consultation, including all photos, x-rays and the assessment by our orthodontist are completely free.
The cost of your treatment will vary depending on your specific dental requirements. Once we complete a new patient exam and create a treatment plan for you, you will meet with a treatment coordinator to discuss the costs and payment plans available to you. We will work with you to create a payment plan that is tailored to your needs and budget.
Yes! Kindly give us a call and we will try our best to accommodate you. If our schedule permits, we may be able see multiple family members back to back.
Of course! Second opinions are welcome! We hope that at the end of the consultation, you are educated, informed and able to make the best decision for you and your family.
Our services are provided by orthodontists. Orthodontists are dentists who, after finishing 4 years of dental school, then went to orthodontic school for another 3 years for extensive training with braces, clear aligners, expanders, bite correction appliances, etc. The only thing our doctors do – all day, every day – is straighten teeth! Our orthodontists will straighten teeth on hundreds of patients per year and thousands of patients in their lifetime.
On the contrary, most general dentists don’t do any orthodontics. The few that do treat only a handful of cases per year, and usually these cases are very simple cases (ie. retreatment of a patient who previously had braces but stopped wearing their retainers and teeth shifted slightly).
Orthodontics is something you only want to go through and pay for once, so trust your smile to a specialist
If you are in need of treatment, an orthodontist will recommend an appliance specific to your dental needs. Some of the treatment options available include: traditional braces, clear braces and clear aligners.
Treatment times vary depending on your specific course of treatment, but with the new cutting-edge technology, the average treatment time is 18-24 months.
Brush your teeth by using a regular soft toothbrush. Brush down from the top and then up from the bottom on each tooth; always brushing away from your gums. Use a gentle sawing motion to work the floss on each side of the two teeth the floss is between. Be careful not to pull with too much force around the archwire.
That varies per patient but there is new technology that uses memory shape, heat activated wires that work without needing painful adjustments, decreasing the amount of office visits necessary to complete treatment. The average time between visits can range from 6-8 weeks. As you come close to finishing treatment, the doctor may want to see you more often, typically between 4-6 weeks during your last few months, to fine tune your final tooth movements.

I'm not someone who tends to post a review very often. But when it comes to the Dischinger Team, I simply can't say enough good things. Orthodontics is... read more a serious investment. You want professionals who do excellent work and care about you on a personal level. The Dischinger Team has gone above and at every turn. First, the front desk staff is so warm and friendly. They are always kind and helpful, and so, so, warm. Every time I talk with them I hang up the phone feeling better. I'm not sure if he was joking, but Dr. Bill said, "We have some clients who call the front desk just for a cheerful chat when they're having a tough day." I could totally see that being a reality. Second, the technology is cutting edge and the people are experts. The Dischinger Team uses advanced imaging and top-end orthodontic choices. Everyone is highly trained, experienced and so professional. I have no doubt, that I'm getting the best care available. Lastly, and most importantly, the Dischinger Team cares about their community and clients. Their office is decorated with the family photos of their clients because that reflects their values. They check in with you constantly to make sure you're informed and to answer any additional questions that might pop up. Dr. Bill called me at home the evening after first getting my alignment trays to make sure I was feeling ok. The conversation wasn't a rushed "to do". It was clear that Dr. Bill really wanted to make sure I was comfortable and for me to know that the team was available to me if I needed anything. They are always taking the time to ask me how I am doing, sharing a smile, or writing me a note to say thank you. They lead with gratitude. Beyond that they are charitable members of the community. They give back in so many cool ways from fun family events to investments in our schools and educators. If you're on the search for a great orthodontist, I can't recommend the Dischinger Team enough. I have no doubt you will walk out of your first visit confident you made an excellent decision.

I can’t even express in words what this team of amazing people have done. First off, Dr. Dischinger is the kindest, sweetest most generous human being. Super down to earth,... read more friendly, carrying and wonderful. His team is equally as kind and compassionate. I started out in Minneapolis and transferred to Dischinger Orthopedics halfway through my treatment. This team listens to all of you concerns, insecurities, and feelings. They truly care about their patients. They offer payment plans, extremely fair pricing and most importantly they are supportive to their patients. They feel like family... they truly care about you. Dr. Dischinger without a doubt, puts his patients before anything else. He’s a wonderful human being. Since treating me, I’ve since scheduled two of my sons to be his patients, that’s how much I believe in his work and ethics. I would highly recommend this clinic before anyone else. I drive from downtown Portland to Lake Oswego and it’s 100% worth the drive to get treatment from his clinic.
