Your Trusted Orthodontist Serving Rock Creek, OR
You want an orthodontist who treats you like a person, not a chart number. That’s us. Vibe Orthodontics is just a short drive away in Hillsboro, and we welcome Rock Creek families every day. Kids, teens, adults, transfers from another office, we’ve got you covered from the first hello to the day your retainer comes home with you.
Our studio sits right off the Hwy 26 corridor near the Intel and Nike campuses, which makes it an easy stop before work, after school, or on the way home from a Saturday errand run. You walk in, the team knows your name, the room is quiet, and your first visit moves at a pace that actually makes sense for real people with real schedules.
Here’s what we’re after: orthodontics should feel calm, clean, and confident. No high-pressure sales pitch. No mystery pricing. No vague timelines. Just a clear picture of where your smile is now, where it’s headed, and what each step looks like along the way.
A few things Rock Creek patients tend to love about us:
- Same-day consultations and same-day starts. If you’re ready, we’re ready. Many first visits end with braces on or a digital aligner scan complete.
- One studio, one team. You see the same faces every visit. That continuity matters more than most people expect.
- Modern digital workflow. Intraoral scanning, digital planning, fewer goopy impressions.
- Bilingual care. Members of our team speak Spanish, so families feel at home from the first hello.
We treat every age and almost every case, from a seven-year-old’s first growth check to an adult finally finishing what they started years ago. Whether you’re driving in from the Rock Creek Greenway, dropping in from Bethany, or commuting back from NW Portland, the trip is short and the experience is worth it. You can read more about each option on our full orthodontics service page when you’re ready to dig in.
Everything is going to work out. That’s not a slogan we hang on the wall and forget about. It’s how we run the studio, how we talk to you, and how we plan your care from day one through your final visit.
Orthodontic Treatments We Offer Near Rock Creek
Vibe Orthodontics handles most ages and most cases for Rock Creek patients. Rather than list every detail here, we’ll keep it short and point you to our main orthodontics service page for the deep dive on each option.
Here’s what we treat most often:
- Metal and ceramic braces for kids, teens, and adults who want a proven option
- Invisalign clear aligners that fit your life and your calendar
- Palatal expanders, MARPE, and TADs for bites that need a little extra help
- Gummy smile treatment, jaw surgery coordination, and Botox for specialty cases
- Indirect bonding (IDB) for precise bracket placement and shorter chair time
- Retainer Club for long-term smile maintenance
Every plan is built around your goals, your bite, and your schedule. Below is a quick look at a few of the options Rock Creek families ask about most. For everything else, head to our service page.
Metal and Ceramic Braces
Modern braces, refined. Today’s brackets are smaller and the wires are smarter, which means fewer visits and more comfort along the way. We use both metal and ceramic options, so if you want something less visible, ceramic gives you that look without giving up the dependable results braces are known for. This is a great fit for kids, teens, and adults who want a proven path to a straighter smile.
Invisalign Clear Aligners
Aligners that fit your life and your calendar. We map your plan digitally, walk you through each stage, and check in only when it counts. Most adults and many teens are candidates. You wear them about 22 hours a day, swap trays on schedule, and your teeth move with you. We’re a proud Invisalign provider, so you get planning and support under one roof.
Expanders, MARPE, and TADs
For bites that need a little extra help, we use:
- Palatal expanders to widen narrow upper jaws in growing kids
- MARPE (mini-implant assisted rapid palatal expansion) for older teens and adults whose growth plates have closed
- TADs (temporary anchorage devices) for precise tooth movement without relying on headgear
These tools let us correct complex cases without defaulting to jaw surgery whenever possible. You’ll find a fuller breakdown of each on our orthodontics service page.
Straightforward smiles. Built around you.
Why Rock Creek Families Choose Vibe Orthodontics
Choosing an orthodontist is part medical decision, part trust call. Here’s what makes Vibe Orthodontics a good fit for Rock Creek-area families.
A Board-Trained Orthodontic Team
Care is led by Dr. Brandon Zegarowski, DDS, MS, a Board Certified Orthodontist and member of the American Association of Orthodontists. His training includes a Master’s in Orthodontics from OHSU, a DDS from the University of the Pacific, a Certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics from OHSU, and a Bachelor of Science in Neurobiology, Physiology, and Behavior from UC Davis. He’s also Botox certified, which expands what we can offer in one studio.
Translation: you’re in capable hands with a team that does this every single day.
Same-Day Consultations, Same-Day Starts
Time matters. We built our first visit to give you real answers in one sitting, not a string of follow-ups before anything happens. If you’re ready to start that day, we can often do it. If you want to think about it, no pressure at all.
Modern Tech That Actually Helps
We use intraoral digital scanning, digital treatment planning, and indirect bonding to keep things accurate and quick. You get:
- Fewer goopy impressions
- Shorter chair time
- Clearer visuals of your plan
- More predictable results
As an Invisalign provider, we also fold digital aligner planning into the same smooth workflow, so your scan, your plan, and your progress checks all live in one place.
Transparent Pricing and Flexible Payments
You’ll know the cost before you commit. No mystery numbers, no fine print surprises waiting at the end. We accept Delta Dental as an in-network provider and work with all other insurance plans out-of-network. Payment options include credit card autopay, cash, and low down payments starting at a minimum of $1,200, so cost doesn’t have to be the reason you wait.
A Welcoming Space for Every Age
Some studios feel like waiting rooms. Ours feels like somewhere you’d actually choose to sit for ten minutes. Calm, clean, confident. Parents get a quiet space. Kids get a team that talks with them, not at them. Adults get scheduling that respects a workday.
Plans Built Around You
No templates. Your bite, your goals, your timeline. We explain what we’re doing, why, and what’s next at every visit. Less hype. Better smiles.

Frequently Asked Questions About Orthodontics in Rock Creek
How much do braces or Invisalign cost near Rock Creek?
Cost depends on the complexity of your case and the option you choose. Most plans land within a typical orthodontic price range, and we walk you through the full number at your first visit so there are no surprises. We accept Delta Dental as in-network, work with all other insurance plans out-of-network, and offer low down payments starting at a minimum of $1,200 with credit card autopay.
At what age should my child see an orthodontist?
Around age 7. The American Association of Orthodontists recommends a first orthodontic check by age 7, when enough adult teeth have come in to spot things worth watching. It’s not about starting treatment that early. It’s about catching crossbites, crowding, or jaw growth concerns while we still have options.
How long does orthodontic treatment take?
Most plans run between 12 and 24 months, depending on the case. Some shorter cases finish in 6 to 9 months. More complex bites can take longer. At your first visit, we’ll give you a real timeline based on your scan and exam, not a vague estimate.
Do you offer same-day starts and free consultations?
Yes. Many first visits end with braces placed or an Invisalign scan complete that same day. If you’d rather think it over, that’s fine too. There’s no pressure to decide on the spot.
Does insurance and financing cover treatment?
Often, yes. We’re in-network with Delta Dental and accept all other insurance plans out-of-network. We offer payment options including credit card autopay, cash, and low down payments with a $1,200 minimum. We don’t currently offer traditional third-party financing, but our in-house payment plans cover most family budgets.
What’s the difference between braces and Invisalign?
| Feature | Braces | Invisalign |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | Visible (ceramic less so) | Nearly invisible |
| Removable | No | Yes (22 hours/day wear) |
| Best for | All case types, including complex | Mild to moderate, some complex |
| Eating restrictions | Some foods to avoid | None (remove to eat) |
| Cleaning | Brush around brackets | Remove and brush normally |
| Office visits | Typically every 4-8 weeks | Typically every 8-12 weeks |
Both work well. The right choice depends on your bite, your lifestyle, and your goals. We’ll walk you through both at your first visit.
