About Portland Braces
Based on Northeast Tillamook Street in the Rose City Park area of Portland, Oregon, Portland Braces 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.
Children benefit from starting dental visits early, generally by their first birthday or within six months of the first tooth coming through, mainly so they become familiar with the setting before any treatment is actually needed. Establishing that routine early tends to make ongoing checkups far less stressful for both child and parent.
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.

great experience, braces were put on smoothly 100% recommend
I've been going to this orthodontist for years, and my recent experience has been incredibly disappointing. I was charged $250 for retainers after being told that if they didn't fit, I wouldn't have to pay. The retainers ended up not fitting, and I never even received them. Later, I was told I could schedule an appointment to have them adjusted, but I had to pay before the appointment. At that appointment, I was quoted $3,000 to correct my teeth. During the visit, I was also told there was a $200 option using Invisalign to keep my gap from widening. I wanted to choose that option, but I was discouraged from doing so and left feeling pressured into not pursuing it. As a result, I paid for retainers I never received, and my gap has continued to widen. I was concerned this would happen, and now correcting it will likely be much more expensive because my teeth have shifted. This experience has left me feeling sad, frustrated, and more insecure than ever. I've been a patient here since I was a child and spent nearly 10 years in braces. It's heartbreaking to feel like I may have to go through that entire process again when it seems this could have been prevented with a properly fitted retainer.
I got braces here. In my opinion, the quality of care was poor, and I would not recommend this place.
I never been here so I put five stars.
Dr. Schnepper and her staff are awesome: very friendly and professional. Convenient location, easy access. Thanks for making my smile brighter!
We are on kid #3 in Invisalign at Portland Braces. Dr. Gretchen and her team are welcoming and great at what they do, and the place has a great vibe, with lots of windows, comfortable waiting and viewing areas, coffee and tea. When you’re done with Invisalign or braces, you get to pop a giant confetti cannon and take home a bag of gooey caramel popcorn. Highly recommend!
I can’t say enough about my experience with Portland Braces. I came in after being told by several doctors that fixing my bite and achieving the smile I wanted wasn’t possible with Invisalign. From the very first consultation, they gave me hope, explaining a clear plan and walking me through what could realistically be achieved. The results have been life-changing. Not only was my bite corrected, but my smile looks better than I ever thought it could. Throughout the entire process the team was attentive, supportive, and incredibly knowledgeable. They made a complex treatment feel smooth and approachable, and I always felt like I was in the best hands.
Our son just finished with his Invisalign treatments at Portland Braces. It was a wonderful and relatively easy experience (compared to my personal tortuous 1980’s braces trauma!). The staff has been kind and accommodating through the whole process. Bonus the have the sweetest Office Support Dog! We would highly recommend PB for your orthodontic needs.
Myself, and both of my children had their orthodontic treatment at Portland Braces, and today the last of us got his braces off! 27yrs later, the place and staff are still excellent! Worth every penny! Dr. Dugoni is the best! Happy retirement!
