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 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.

It was such a relief to call them a couple years later when my built-in retainer broke and they got me in so quickly to fix it.

Let me tell ya I just got back from TX where Southern Hospitality is a real thing. Flew in that morning, grandma picked me up from the airport. She... read more asked if I could pop into this office for her retainer. I said, of course my sweet grandma, anything for you. Well I walk in, and in about 15 seconds I was ready to switch her out. The nicest lady I may have ever met greeted me with a gorgeous smile, wonderful curly silver locks you ever seen. She looked like a model. (Grandma or girlfriend? Thats a weird thought.) Just kidding y'all! Keep reading! Anyway, I hit the flock of employees with the story of my arrival. being as I don't even live in Portland so my dental care does not coincide with my arrival. And we banter a bit, and the woman walks off to go find the retainer. Well when she gets back, she treated me like I was the one getting the retainer for her. Like I am the one doing the favors. I felt like a real king. Then lastly she subtly slips in, would you like a tour? Well If I've ever heard the story of a man who has a definite cult following, it's Dischinger. She started talking about him like he founded the United States of Orthodontics. This man is a legend. But also has a total kick*** office. Massage chairs, free drinks, great sports memorabilia. I was about ready to let them take out my teeth just to say I got it done there. Anyway, this review will get lost in the millions of good ones. But just thought I'd share. I hope I meet that sweet woman again, she truly made my day. Cheers
