Welcome to the website of Dr. Jon Goodwin, orthodontist.  Dr. Goodwin is a second-generation orthodontist who grew up in this area.  He graduated from Aloha High School and then Oregon State University and then Oregon Health Sciences University School of Dentistry.  He thoroughly enjoyed spending nine months in Jamaica as a general dentist and then returned to OHSU for his orthodontic education, finishing in 1988.  Dr. Goodwin has two young adult sons and has been married to Barb since 1983.

            The practice is relatively small and our space is small but comfortable.  We may not have a fancy website or computer games in the waiting room but Dr. Goodwin’s personal touch each visit is helpful in achieving the precision and the efficiency that it takes to arrive at a great smile in a reasonable amount of time.  We use a slot size in our braces that is .018” rather than the more common .022” which allows the use of gentler wires that are more precise. In cases where we would have used headgear years ago we now use Forsus springs. These work amazingly well without any extra effort on the part of the patient. Removable aligners are an option in some cases. Gentleness, precision, and efficiency make for a better path to a great smile.

Caitlin works at the front desk and can help with insurance and scheduling questions and Stormie is our chair side assistant. We are here Monday through Thursday from 8 to 5.

            It is quite a privilege to witness children blossoming into young adults while they grow in self-confidence, often, in part, because their smile has been transformed. We also enjoy helping our adult patients achieve the improved smiles they are after.
