Orthodontic care
Free Orthodontic Consultation in NW Portland
Your first visit at Bridge City Orthodontics is free, unhurried, and pressure-free. You'll meet Dr. Vo, get a comfortable 3D scan, and leave with a clear plan and honest pricing.
A free consultation is the easiest way to find out where your smile stands and what your options actually are — no obligation, no sales pitch. At our NW Portland office, Dr. Vo sits down with you (or your child), takes a close look at your teeth and bite, and talks through whether treatment makes sense now, later, or not at all. If your situation is straightforward, we'll tell you that too.
Bridge City Orthodontics is built around honest, expert guidance rather than getting you into a chair. We use a comfortable 3D digital scan instead of goopy impressions, walk you through what we see on screen, and explain your options — braces, clear aligners, or simply monitoring — in plain language. You'll get real pricing and financing details before you leave, so you can make a confident decision on your own timeline.

Common questions
Is the consultation really free?
Yes — your first visit is genuinely free, with no obligation. You'll meet Dr. Vo, get a comfortable 3D scan, talk through your options, and leave with a plan and honest pricing whether or not you decide to move forward. There's no pressure to commit.
How long does a free consultation take?
Plan on roughly an hour. That gives us time for a comfortable 3D scan, a look at your bite, a conversation about your goals, and a clear explanation of your options and pricing. We'd rather not rush it — this is your chance to ask everything and leave with a real understanding of your choices.
Will I find out the cost the same day?
Yes. After Dr. Vo reviews your scan and recommends an approach, you'll get exact, all-in pricing for that plan along with your payment and financing options — so you can decide with the full picture in front of you. Final fees depend on the plan you choose together.
What happens at the consultation?
You'll meet Dr. Vo, get a comfortable 3D scan instead of goopy molds, and review the treatment options that fit your bite and goals. When it helps, Dr. Vo can show you a simulated preview of where treatment could lead (for illustration; results vary). You'll leave with a clear plan, a timeline, and honest pricing.
Do I need a referral to come in?
No. You can see an orthodontist directly and book a free consultation anytime. We're glad to coordinate with your dentist, but a referral isn't required.
Will I start treatment at the same visit?
Usually the consultation and the start of treatment are separate visits, so you have time to consider your options and there's no pressure to decide on the spot. In some cases we can begin sooner. Whatever you choose, you'll never feel rushed into starting.
What should I bring to my free consultation?
Just a photo ID and your dental insurance card if you have one — we'll reference it to check your benefit, with nothing to upload online. Bring any questions you'd like answered, and prior X-rays or records if you happen to have them on hand.
