About Portland Orthodontic Group

Portland Orthodontic Group is a dental practice on North Lombard Street in the North 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.

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.

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.

I should have done this sooner but better late than never! I had searched high and low in the Lake Tahoe area where I used to live for someone to correct my airway discrepancies without needing to have jaw surgery - no one would take my case on, 5 orthodontists said it was not possible (despite all the research I had done on Marpes, homeoblocks, etc saying it was). And then I met Dr. Crowe who casually said it not only was possible but that she could do it with flying colors. And that she did. Life changing. I’m so happy I went through with the Marpe procedure, I can breathe so much better and my teeth also look so much better. If you’re on the fence I highly recommend committing to it, you’re in great hands! Thanks Dr. Crowe!

I wish we could have had Dr Crowe for our first child’s orthodontist. We have wasted thousands of dollars on bad treatments with a couple of other orthodontists. We started to think that was normal until Dr Swisher referred us to Dr Crowe for our younger son and completely changed the game. I can’t recommend Dr Crowe enough!

I absolutely adore the team at Portland Orthodontic! Dr. Crowe and the rest of the team have made something that would normally be the worst part of my day somehow a fun experience. They are all such lovely people and I feel genuinely cared for and trust them all. They are easy to communicate with, kind, knowledgeable and genuine people. I couldn’t recommend them enough!

I went through my braces journey at Portland Orthodontic Group many years ago, and had such a pleasant experience that there was no question on where I would take my kiddo when it came time for their braces journey. The staff and professionals at Portland Orthodontic Group are so nice, and very skilled at what they do. I’m pleased not only with my own results, but my kiddo’s as well. Thank you for making this process so painless! (Oh, and FYI - they do in-house financing, which makes braces an attainable thing!)

Today my grandchild got their braces off! It was 8 long years with many challenges. Dr. Crowe was excellent. She went the extra mile with us when needed. I am so Grateful for her professional care but mostly for her compassion and patience. The Staff are tremendous. Always helpful, kind and caring. I highly recommend Portland Orthodontic Group
