Introduction:

OHSU is committed to providing the highest quality orthodontic treatment for children and adults. Patients are scheduled Monday through Friday and services are provided for correction of relatively minor to the most severe orthodontic problems. To become a patient, we have screenings (initial exams or consultations) for orthodontic treatment throughout the year.

Clinic Options:

There are two options for OHSU clinics where orthodontic treatment can be provided.

One option is in the graduate orthodontic clinic where treatment is provided by dentists who are in an advanced specialty training program to become orthodontists. Faculty instructors supervise the residents at each appointment. Because appointments tend to be longer, fees for the graduate clinic are reduced relative to orthodontic private practices.

The other option is for the faculty to provide treatment through the Faculty Dental Practice. Faculty who teach in the graduate clinic will directly provide treatment. This option is similar to a private practice setting and fees are higher than those of the graduate clinic.

How to get started:

Information regarding orthodontic screenings and patient selection can be found using the link: Orthodontic Patient Selection.

In some situations, full braces are not necessary and limited treatment will provide a satisfactory result. More information on limited treatment can be found using the link: Orthodontic Limited Treatment. When you have a screening appointment, the doctor will recommend if full braces or limited treatment is best for you or your child.

If you wish to schedule a screening or if you have questions related to orthodontic treatment at OHSU, please call our clinic at 503-494-8921
