Associate Orthodontist - The Modern Orthodontist & Portland Braces

Associate Orthodontist


Lead the Evolution of Two Growing, Patient-Focused Practices!
The Modern Orthodontist - Vancouver, Washington & Portland Braces - Portland, Oregon


The Modern Orthodontist and Portland Braces are seeking an experienced Associate Orthodontist to join and help shape the next chapter of two patient-centered practices serving the greater Portland-Vancouver metropolitan area.


Led by Dr. Gretchen Schnepper, these established practices have a strong clinical foundation and loyal patient base and are currently in an exciting phase of transformation focused on elevating the patient experience, strengthening operations, and driving sustainable growth. This is a unique opportunity for an orthodontist who is motivated by impact-someone who is energized by building, improving, and leading through positive change.


With locations on both sides of the Columbia River, this role offers the opportunity to practice across Washington and Oregon while serving a diverse patient population. For the right individual, this position also presents a clear path toward long-term growth, leadership development, and potential future partnership.


Why Vancouver, Washington & Portland, Oregon?


Few metropolitan areas offer the lifestyle and career opportunities found in the Portland-Vancouver region. Nestled in the heart of the Pacific Northwest, the area combines vibrant city living with unparalleled access to outdoor recreation, making it an ideal place to build both a career and a life.


From hiking in the Columbia River Gorge and skiing on Mount Hood to exploring Portland's renowned food scene, local wineries, craft breweries, and eclectic neighbourhoods, there is no shortage of ways to enjoy your time outside the practice. The region is also known for its strong sense of community, excellent schools, thriving arts and culture scene, and easy access to both the Oregon Coast and the Cascade Mountains.


Whether you're seeking urban amenities, outdoor adventure, or a family-friendly community, the Portland-Vancouver area offers the best of all worlds.


About the Role:


This opportunity is ideal for an orthodontist seeking clinical autonomy, long-term growth, and the opportunity to practice across two established orthodontic offices in one of the Pacific Northwest's most desirable markets. The Associate Orthodontist will provide comprehensive orthodontic care at The Modern Orthodontist in Vancouver, Washington, and Portland Braces in Portland, Oregon, delivering exceptional clinical outcomes and patient experiences within modern, technology-driven practice environments.


We are offering a highly competitive, premium compensation structure to recognize the level of experience, leadership, and commitment needed for this role. The successful candidate will partner closely with leadership and an experienced team to enhance clinical excellence, optimize patient flow, and further develop a thriving, relationship-driven practice culture.

While an experienced orthodontist is preferred, candidates at all stages of their careers are encouraged to apply. Applicants may currently hold orthodontic licensure in either Washington or Oregon, provided they are willing to obtain licensure in the second state to support care across both locations. This role offers the potential to establish a long-term presence within the practices and pursue future leadership and partnership opportunities.
