Meet The Doctors

Dr. Scott Alexander and Dr. Mary Hoffman are both second-generation dentists and both are board-certified by the American Board of Orthodontics, a distinction earned by only a portion of orthodontists. They believe in conservative treatment planning and in giving patients thoughtful options, because they know orthodontic care is never one-size-fits-all. They are committed to treating every patient like family, with close attention to detail at every stage of treatment. Unlike many orthodontic offices, patients see a doctor at every appointment, helping ensure personalized care, clear communication, and consistent results throughout braces or Invisalign treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

All orthodontists are dentists, but not all dentists are orthodontists. In fact, only about six out of a hundred dentists have the proper training to be "orthodontists".

As a specialist in orthodontics, unlike general dentists who provide orthodontic care, Dr. Alexander and Dr. Hoffman are focused only on your orthodontic needs and have completed the residencies necessary to be licensed Orthodontists.

The American Association of Orthodontists recommends an orthodontic screening at age seven. Don’t worry! Most kids do not need any orthodontic treatment at this age. However, seeing an orthodontic specialist at this age can help to catch any developing growth or tooth eruption issues.

No! You may call us to schedule an appointment at any time.

At Alexander & Hoffman Orthodontics, we offer an array of treatment options to find the best option for your specific needs. We offer traditional metal brackets, clear ceramic brackets, lingual brackets, and clear aligners including Invisalign. We also offer palatal expanders, orthopedic appliances to correct growth issues, and digital impressions.

The length of treatment can vary and will depend on the specific complexities of your case. Orthodontic treatment time can range from as short as 6 months or up to 30 months, but the average length of treatment is 2 years.

Dr. Hoffman Orthodontics was amazing from start to finish. I’m so excited to smile now—it’s a night-and-day difference, and the whole experience was smooth, thoughtful, and thorough. What stood out most was how seriously they took getting everything right. I had a lot of questions throughout the process, and they always took the time to answer them with patience and clarity. The team was kind, professional, and never made me feel rushed or overwhelmed. I really appreciated how committed they were to doing things well—not just quickly. They made sure each step felt intentional, and I always felt like I was in great hands. Couldn’t be happier with the results. Highly recommend!

Nobody loves getting braces; but if you’re going to get them then this is the place to do it, the entire staff is kind and takes the time to get to know each and every one of their patients all while providing some of the best orthodontic care in Idaho.

Very quick friendly service from the staff and Dr Hoffman. I live 100 miles away and I appreciated the scheduling and the time Dr Hoffman took with me explaining the situation about a broken retainer wire. I had been a patient of Dr Alexander’s eight years ago and this was my first time seeing Dr Hoffman. Thank you.

My son had a great experience with his braces. The staff is friendly and attentive and the Dr.s are personable and knowledgeable. The location by North Jr High has been invaluable for my son to easily get himself to appointments. Highly Recommend!

I had the best experience with all the staff. Being older and a bit nervous, they made me feel confident and cared for during my treatment. I highly recommend Alexander Hoffman!
