About Hillsdale Orthodontics
Hillsdale Orthodontics provides dental care on Southwest Sunset Boulevard in the Southwest Portland area of Portland, Oregon. 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.
Payment and insurance arrangements vary by practice and by treatment, so it is worth asking directly what is covered and what options exist for anything that is not, rather than assuming either way. Getting that clarified before treatment starts avoids surprises once it is underway.
Beyond any single treatment, most dental visits start with an examination — checking for decay, reviewing the gums, and looking at existing fillings or crowns — often alongside X-rays where there is a reason to look between or beneath teeth. That groundwork is what a dentist uses to explain any findings and set out next steps before you leave.
Routine attendance, roughly every six months for most people, is what actually keeps small problems small. A lot of decay and gum disease develops without any pain in its early stages, which is why regular checkups matter even when nothing seems to be wrong, rather than only booking an appointment once something hurts.
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.

Hillsdale Orthodontics was a wonderful place for my kiddos to get their expanders. The staff was super friendly, patient, and supportive. Really liked the experience.
Knowledgable, helpful, and very kind to my family during some difficult times!
I write reviews on people and places that I feel have made a massive difference in my life. I was referred to Hillsdale Orthodontics by my primary dentist and I am incredibly grateful. I had braces as a young child and remember how nervous I had been for my appointments. Coming in today for Invisalign, I got a bit more information than what I had ever been told by any dentist and it validated so many symptoms I’ve been having. When you walk in the door, the space is bright, light, and inviting. They use an open concept for cleanings and make everyone feel like they are here, together. One piece of the visit that I felt was such a game changer, was the orthodontist I worked with but anlso a staff member named Kailyn. Kailyn has helped me since day one, from my first phone call, to my in office visit, to the ins and outs of their Invisalign program. The cost of my own Invisalign due to jaw misalignment was a bit higher than I expected, but the team helped me understand all of my options, and laid things out in a way that was very understandable and comfortable. As a nurse, your team can really change the dynamic of a workplace, and I appreciated how every person treated their patients as well as those they work with. The technology they use in office is also something to note. They have updated X-ray machines, updated Invisalign scanners with 3D photo renderings and 3D printing. If you’re looking for a place to feel completely at home - this is definitely the place.
They are so nice from reception, to assistants to docs. Highly recommend!
Hillsdale Orthodontics has been wonderful! Both of my daughters used them-one for braces and one for Invisalign. I highly recommend them.
Beautiful office. Super Friendly staff. They are super helpful. Explained everything they were doing super well for my kiddo. Got my kiddo into ortho earlier than any other office we had looked into. ❤️ I can't give more than five stars but I would if I could. My kiddo loves the dipping dots she gets after each appointment. I can't stop raving about this office! My kiddo is sleeping better, not snoring, getting headaches and getting fewer bad dreams. This has been so helpful especially with schooling!
I cannot say enough wonderful things about Hillsdale Orthodontics! My Invisalign journey with them has been absolutely amazing and smooth. Every single person on their staff is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also so attentive and kind. From start to finish, they answered every question I had from deciding the appropriate treatment to my last retention checkup today! I am beyond thrilled with the results, and without a doubt, I would highly recommend to anyone looking for dental care 😊 They also made sure I fully understood every step of the care—they always took the time to explain each phase, and no detail was too small. I deeply appreciate their genuine care for patients as well -I loved receiving a birthday card, and the celebratory bag and shoutout in the office when done with my treatment! Their space itself is just fantastic and seeing friendly faces in every visit was a positive experience. If you’re looking for a place for orthodontics, you won’t find a better team!
Dr. Leemin and Dr. Handick were terrific. It really is true—at Hillsdale Orthodontics you get “two for the price of one” since both doctors work with you and, without question, they know your particular situation and can address issues as they arise. That expertise extends to the dental techs who see you for appointments. Everyone was on the same page with from start to finish, and that is a feeling that inspires confidence. Words I would use to describe Hillsdale Orthodontics range from extremely knowledgeable and professional to engaging, caring, loving, fun to be with, and gracious. I’m thrilled with my forever smile, and at age 76, I can say I will not neglect the use of a retainer ever again. It has been a wonderful partnership for two years. Thank you!!
I am so happy with Dr. Leemin and the wonderful staff at Hillsdale Orthodontics. They are all knowledgeable, friendly, and good at what they do. My orthodontic journey so far has been smooth, virtually pain-free, and quite effective. After 6 months it's been very exciting to see the dramatic movement of my teeth already. Thanks to everyone at the clinic for making my experience pleasant and rewarding. I highly recommend entrusting your orthodontic care to Dr. Leemin and the talented staff at Hillsdale Orthodontics.
