This was our 4th orthodontist to go to regarding our sons over bite and crowding. They were AMAZING! I was a patient there 20 years ago and can't believe they are still there and even better then I remember. The entire team was so welcoming and made this entire process so fun for our son.

The smiles he creates are a work of art. I was always only a candidate for braces and as an adult, I was not excited about wearing them. I was ever able to do Invisalign because my teeth were too crooked and needed more correcting. Then in 2020 he had the option to put Sparks Aligners on his patients and I LOVE them. I am seeing a difference right away.

It's been a very carefree experience for me. Switching our aligners every 3 days has been a breeze and the V-Pro therapy too makes my gums feel pain free. I can't wait to see the end result and once he finally bleaches them. I fly all the way from TX because I believe in the results I have seen with the friends and family he has worked on.

I am absolutely in love with this place! My older sister got her braces here and so have all her kids. Everyone is super friendly and the office is always clean. They have message chairs (I make it a point to go in a few minutes early for these chairs), video games, tablets for children, and INFUSED WATER. The list goes on but the vibe for this place is unmatched. I have been telling everyone and their mama's about this place.

I am so glad we found Dr. Dischinger and his team for my 9yo daughter. From the moment we walked in to the moment we walked out, everyone was helpful and kind. We will never see another orthodontist and I will recommend this office to everyone who needs orthodontic care. My daughter and I are so happy here!

I've never been in any medical office that had the professionalism, kindness and expertise as this office does. My daughter is a new patient and every step of the way starting with scheduling her appointment has been phenomenal. Suzi, Linn and Dr. Dischinger are all amazing, as is everyone else we came in contact with. Dr. Dischinger even called the night before our first appointment to see if my daughter had any questions or fears he can address before her appointment. Customer service is 100/10 and I'm so glad we found this office! Can't recommend them more!

My experience with the office was fantastic, excellent staff treatment, a beautiful office, big, clean and comfortable, but the best thing is the professionalism of the dentists. Very satisfied with their work and a plus, the financing of their treatments. I thought that the cost of my son's treatment would be high, but not, was affordable and in comfortable monthly payments. We are delighted with "The Dischinger team Orthodontics".

I'm truly surprised at all the good reviews. I rarely write reviews but it would bother my conscience if I didn't speak out against this orthodontist. To start, I was charged around $7,000 to move my teeth around and I was promised a good bite at the end of it (which never happened) Dr. Dischinger seemed honest and patient at the consult. As time went on, at appointments I noticed that he never checked the orthodontist assistants work, which he should be doing but never does.

The patients should be checked at the end of the appointment to see if the orthodontist assistants have done a good job, remember some of these assistants are new. He never checks their work on the patients. This is a red flag and clearly shows he doesn't care about his patients and their end results. In one appointment I sat there for over an hour, while the assistant struggled to do what was asked.

I was uncomfortable and in pain, the assistant repeatedly told Dr. Dischinger she could not do what he was asking her to do. Instead of intervene and help, Dr. Dischinger sits and watches as I'm in pain and the assistant is struggling. Finally another assistant interjects to help. Time progresses and I notice certain teeth aren't moving into better positions and my bite is still very uncomfortable.

For every mention of any minor complaint, there was an excuse. This man can never admit if he's done something wrong and on top of that he would even get defensive! The worst part of my experience at Dischinger orthodontics came at the end when Dr. Dischinger etched my teeth and damaged my enamel on nearly all my teeth when he was taking off my braces!

I was extremely distraught when I went home and looked at my teeth and saw how badly he had damaged my enamel. Not only had he damaged my enamel, a couple of my teeth were crooked, and my bite was still very uncomfortable. For someone as experienced as him to damage the enamel on most of my teeth, I know this was intentional. Don't be fooled by his meekness, he might damage your teeth too, if you ask questions or ask if he can do a better job. I was heavily traumatized after that experience and I would never recommend him to anybody.

We've had all the kids get their braces here. Excellent experience all around. They work to make all your natural teeth to align for that perfect smile, and that made all the difference for our family. Super happy!

Wow, we moved here for a short period from California and my son had broken his braces bracket in between our move. I had such a hard time finding an orthodontist office to help us. Dischinger Team is by far the warmest, most welcoming experience my son and I have ever had. It blew me away how helpful they were. We were treated like family, and my son got his braces fixed so fast.

At the end he spinned this awesome wheel for a prize. The whole experience was just amazing. Thank you so so much to you all for helping us on our moving journey. I recommend this place to ANYONE and EVERYONE. You don't get this type of experience everywhere and you can tell they pay attention to every person that walks through that door in detail. Again, thank you

We've only had great service at The Dischinger Team Orthodontics. Dr. Bill connects with and cares for his patients; he often called to check in after a procedure and see how my son was doing. The office staff is amazing, always exuding a cheerful attitude. We leave with a smile every time we visit!

Always so quick and efficient! Everyone is friendly. Feels like a family gathering with music and laughter when I go in. The environment and atmosphere is very welcoming! Dr. Bill explains thoroughly why and what he's doing which keeps me informed every step of the way. I really enjoy my visits and trust that my teeth are in great hands. I've told my friends and family about them and would totally recommend Dischinger Team to everyone. Thank you for taking such good care of me!

We have been very happy with our experience at Discchinger. The staff is very sweet and great with kids. My daughter's anxiety about coming in quickly dissolved when she started coming regularly. Billing and administrative staff is also very helpful and efficient. During Covid they were very communicative about their health and safety protocols. We will definitely take our second child here if/when the time comes!

I had orthodontic treatment 13 years ago at this office as an adult to help correct a TMJ issue. I was impressed with the care then. All of the staff are very warm and caring and professional. I started to have TMJ issues again, and went to see Dr Bill. He took a 3D image of my head. I was assured that my teeth were in alignment and that I needed to see an oral surgeon for perhaps, degeneration of the bone. Dr Bill gave me the name of an oral surgeon and offered to send the referral and image to him. There was no charge. What a decent thing to do!

The Dischinger Team has been amazing to work with! My son started his treatment about a year ago; he's now in braces and his smile is looking so much better! The team and Dr. Bill are so genuinely caring; we always come away smiling after an appointment. I have been impressed by the special measures they are now taking during this COVID-19 time. They are OPEN NOW and going above and beyond to keep everyone safe and healthy. If you or your child needs orthodontics work go see them. They are THE BEST!

The best orthodontist in town! I am so glad I was referred to Dr. Dischinger & his team. As soon as I walk in, I am always greeted by Suzi, the most angelic voice ever. She's such a sweetheart. I got my braces about 2 months ago and immediately I started seeing the drastic changes. Dr. D quickly came up with a plan for my teeth and also suggested a few other ideas in order for a perfect smile you guys are the BEST in the west.

I had a couple incidents where my brackets came off and when I call Suzi, she gets me in right away! Great office. So warm and welcoming. They always have nourishments and OH! Can't forget about the massage chairs. I am forever grateful for you Dr. Dischinger and your team. Keep up the great work! P.s. - It's Tey, not Tia. Lol

I cannot thank the Dischinger team enough for all of their kindness, enthusiasm, sincerity, and support through my adventure in Orthodontics. I always felt welcome and cared for whenever I walked into those doors. My time with braces flew by, and I know I have the whole team at Dischinger to thank for that. I cannot recommend them more! I can honestly say I have so much more confidence in general, especially with smiling now. Thank you again Dr. Dischinger, and to the whole dischinger team for giving me my perfect smile!

Dischinger is by far the friendliest orthodontist I've been to. I take my 9 year old daughter there and she loves all of the staff. Their waiting area is amazing! (Massage chairs, iPads, video games, keurig) If you're thinking of taking your child or yourself here. Don't even hesitate. This is the only place I would recommend!

This is a great place. My orthodontist in Texas recommended Dr. Dischinger to me when I told him I was moving to Oregon. I could not have been more please with the referral. The office is luxe and has every amenity you might want to enjoy while you wait. The staff is super friendly and incredibly helpful. Dr. Dischinger did a great job for me. I will definitely be bringing my children in to see him when they get older. I really can't recommend this place enough.

I had a really great experience visiting Dr. Dischinger's office! I had never been to an ortho before and was very impressed by the office and the staff. From the moment you walk in the door, you feel very welcomed and like you're at a place that will take care of you. Everyone was very nice and treated me very kindly! Lin was amazing and made me feel important.

She was also very competent and knowledgeable about teeth. She was easy to talk to and explained everything very well and answered all of my questions. Dr. Dischinger was able to explain what kind of orthodontic work I needed done and possible alternative treatment plans. I really appreciate that they don't rush you or try to just recommend the most expensive procedure.

The time that they took to talk with me as a patient made me feel like I can really trust and rely on their opinions as professionals because it spoke to their quality of care. I would have no problems visiting them again or recommending them to future patients.

It was a very good experience for me Paige and I. We were comfortable and had a good time. The staff were very nice and very quick in all of the examinations, and I just had a wonderful time. This is Paige writing the review. I liked all the fun things in the waiting room. Especially the kid sized massage chairs. I also like the office because of how quiet it is. Spinning the wheel and getting the prize was fun to. P.S. Everyone was really nice to.

This is not our orthodontist, full disclosure. Today, part of my daughers braces came unglued, unhinged, whatever it is they do sometimes. Our orthodontist? On vacation with no one in their office to take calls. It happens So this clinic not only got us in within an hour of when we called, but were super professional, unbelievably friendly, and did not charge us for 1/2 hour of their valuable time fixing our daughter's braces.

They did not offer a "bandaid" approach as a couple of other places did. They actually fixed it. The only problem I have now is we already paid for the full package at our regular doctor. Otherwise these wonderful folks would have our business. My 8 year old says Jasmine ( who worked on her teeth) is the best and knew how to not make the glue taste bad and she didn't gag at all like she usually does. It hurt way less, and their office is more fun. Just so you have the actual patient's opinion. I cannot thank them enough!

Dischinger Orthodontics is a great place to get your braces. All the staff is very kind. I am happy with them. As a parent, we are pleased with the result for both our kids and customer service is the best. Even when we're out of country we don't have to worry if something come up because Dr. Terry and Dr. Bill have connections all over the world.

Thank you Dischinger Orthodontics for all you have done and making our kids love their smile. We are glad that we chose Dischinger Orthodontics., Thank You Thank You and Thank You!

ROCK STARS! When I was looking for a unique solution to my completely messed up situation with my teeth, I found Dischinger Orthodontics. I knew from the first call I made to their office that they were FAR above and beyond everyone else and every other option I explored. I couldn't be happier with the level of expertise, skill and service I receive from them. If you are looking to have an amazing smile, call them. You'll quickly see why they are rock stars.

I chose Dischinger Orthodontics for my own Invisalign treatment. At my very first free consultant, I ran into my former Disneyland roommate in their lobby. We had worked for Disneyland back in college and the coincidence was not lost on me. Dischinger runs their practice exactly as you would expect an Orthodontist on Main Street in Disneyland to run their practice.

Everyone is happy to see you, they all know your name, their office is clean and vibrant, and they are efficient and organized. My treatment lasted six months and I think I probably received 6 thank you/just checking-in notes from their staff during those six months. They are grateful for our business and it shows. They are always celebrating some sort of "spirit day" when you stop in.

They will remind you of your appointments like clockwork, and will see you immediately after you walk in. (I almost wish they would let me stay seated in their fancy massage chairs a few minutes longer.) My smile is bigger and brighter thanks to Dischinger Orthodontics. I am so glad I found them and it's refreshing to see a practice filled with happy staff and happy clients. They are the Happiest Orthodontist on Earth!

This really is as good as it gets. The doctors are so attentive, educated, informative, honest and available. Dr. Bill has responded to a frantic weekend email in minutes, and that level of care is common here. Staff is crazy friendly. I just wish they were closer to us! But we will sit in traffic for an hour to see them.

I was away from home during the holidays when my retainer popped off (after 23 years) and this was the only place that could get me in right away. Their office was great! Such a fun atmosphere filled with friendly people. They couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. I am so grateful. Thank you and happy holidays!

My three kids were all treated by Dischinger Ortho several years ago. We drove all the way from the Gorge to go to them because my kids had some challenging problems (very small mouths, overbite, etc) and every other orthodontist we tried wanted to extract teeth. I was very impressed with the treatment options and approach. They all had successful treatments without removal of any permanent teeth! They are all in their 20's now and still have wonderful smiles, thanks to the Dischinger practice.

As an adult I wasn't thrilled about braces but let me tell you it wasn't so bad! I loved working with Dr. Bill, Dr. Terry and all of the staff. Suzie works at the front desk and is so friendly and helpful! They have a great method that makes the process less painful and shorter. I love the results.
