About Portland Braces

Dr. Gretchen Schnepper's team is known for fitting in same-day emergency fixes, from a poking wire to a popped retainer, at no charge.

Reviews describe an orthodontist who is quick to respond to problems, from delivering Invisalign trays to a patient's home during the pandemic to repairing a fallen bracket on short notice without charge. Many mention Invisalign and traditional braces results, including a case where a bite was corrected after other providers said Invisalign wouldn't work. Dr. Gretchen Schnepper, who has taken over patient care, is described as attentive and forthcoming about the limits of treatment, including referring out for surgery when needed. The office's location and parking also come up often as convenient for regular visits.

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.

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!
