About Ainslie Orthodontics: Doug Ainslie, DMD, MS
Based on Southwest 10th Avenue in the Southwest Portland area of Portland, Oregon, Ainslie Orthodontics: Doug Ainslie, DMD, MS is a dental practice serving the area. 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.
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.
Left untreated, small dental problems tend not to stay small. A minor cavity that would have been a straightforward filling can progress to needing root canal treatment and a crown, and early gum inflammation that would have reversed with a good cleaning can progress toward bone loss around the teeth. Catching things early is generally the difference in both effort and cost.

Dr. Ainslie and team got me in quickly and took great care of my needs.
Dr. Anslie and his staff has taken Exceptional care of my teeth. I’m extremely happy with the finish product. I’m so happy with my overall care as well. Everything was made simple and easy. Thank you Ainslie orthodontics!l
Has taken care of my entire family. Fantastic practice!
Professional & caring.
I was there to have a bracket replaced on my new braces of 1 1/2 weeks. Grace was wonderful, fast and reassuring on my care.
I have never been to a medical office where everyone is so happy and helpful. Dr Ainslie was amazing with my daughter and made her feel good about getting braces. Can say enough positive things about our experience.
The staff here are amazing. As soon as you step into the office, they make you feel right at home. The atmosphere is relaxing and the music selection is excellent! They are kind, uplifting and always make sure that you’re doing okay while you’re in the chair. If I could have them for general dentistry, I would!
Dr. Ainslie and his team have been our trusted referral orthodontic office for years, and now that my daughter is a patient, I can say firsthand that the experience is exceptional. From the moment you walk in, he makes you feel like you’ve known him forever — warm, inviting, and genuinely invested in his patients. He explains everything clearly, sets expectations, and encourages patients to take responsibility for their own home care in a supportive way. We arrived a little nervous, unsure of what treatment my daughter might need, but both Dr. Ainslie and his treatment coordinator put us completely at ease. Now that she’s in treatment, the entire staff has been consistently friendly, knowledgeable, and encouraging. They make orthodontics fun with tokens, prizes, and thoughtful gestures — they even surprised my daughter with a helium balloon and a birthday cake mix so she could celebrate at home. It’s rare to find an office that blends professionalism, kindness, and genuine joy the way this one does. We are so grateful for the care they provide and couldn’t recommend them more highly.
They are really sweet The doctor is a big white, bald man but he is also really nice. Katalina was my hygienist and she was really sweet and fun. It is pretty expensive. I remember my braces treatment took a while but now I have perfect straight teeth. 🦷
Everyone at Ainslie Orthodontics has been wonderful! Our 12yo daughter can be uncomfortable with new experiences and anxious about doctor visits. The team at Ainslie are so kind, thoughtful and supportive. They explain each step and routinely check-in with our daughter to see how she’s doing. Very, very pleased!
