About Alexander & Hoffman Orthodontics
Dr. Scott Alexander and Dr. Mary Hoffman are described correcting severe bite misalignment without surgery, in patients ranging from young children to first-time adult braces wearers.
Reviews at this Boise practice point to complex cases handled well, including bite corrections that avoided surgery and years-long treatment for a genetic tooth disorder without extra cost. Both doctors come up often for creativity in tricky situations, and the practice is also noted for working comfortably with adults getting braces for the first time as well as young children. Several reviews mention the office not pushing unnecessary treatment and sticking to originally agreed costs even when care extended longer than planned.

We have had all our children and dad receive braces with Dr Alexander. Still have one to go. He his so kind, gentle and I would never second guess anything he tells us. He does not do anything that is not necessary and over all these years we have had such a positive experience. Can’t recommend this office more

I love going here. From start to finish the staff is amazing. Funny and professional I enjoy every interaction. I’m a bit older and this is my second go around with Orthodontics. I highly recommend Alexander & Hoffman Orthodontics.

So pleased with my consult and visit! My dental situation is unique and Dr. Hoffman came up with a custom creative approach. She and her team were fabulous!

Super friendly. Always started appointments on time if not early. My daughter was a bit of an extreme case that, in addition to teeth out of place, had pretty severe bite misalignment. We were unsure whether or not she would require surgery. Dr. Hoffman managed to not only straighten her teeth but bring her bite into alignment. My daughter now has perfect teeth in perfect alignment. We could not be more pleased. I cannot recommend Dr. Hoffman highly enough!
