Meet The Doctors
Dr. Scott Alexander and Dr. Mary Hoffman are both 2nd generation dentists. They are also BOTH certified by the American Board of Orthodontics ( a distinction held by only 1/3 of orthodontists.) They believe in conservative treatment and in providing their patients with not only the best orthodontic treatment, but options because they understand that one size does not fit all. They pride themselves on treating their patients like they would their own family members. You will notice their attention to detail with each and every patient, and at every single appointment. Unlike other offices, you will see a doctor at EVERY appointment.
Dr. Scott Alexander
Dr. Alexander is a member of the American Dental Association, American Association of Orthodontists, and is a diplomat of the American Board of Orthodontics.
He teaches new dentists at the local residency in Advanced General Dentistry and helps to lead a study group for local dentists. He also serves as the Treasurer for the Idaho State Dental Association.

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.
