East Idaho Orthodontics

We love the office and staff. Everyone is always friendly and accommodating. My daughters journey with her braces has easy breezy

We’ve been coming since 1992. Our children and now our grand children also come. We love making the track over from Jackson because everyone is so kind and helpful. Especially Karla, over the years we have appreciated her support and love. A very friendly and welcoming place. Love our teeth!

7/27/26 I'm really frustrated. I understand the orthodontist is busy, but it's incredibly frustrating that neither location ever seems to have availability for emergency repairs. My son has a broken bracket that's loose and just sliding around on the wire, and the earliest appointment they can offer is Thursday at 8:00 a.m. How are braces supposed to work properly when broken brackets can't be repaired for days—or sometimes even weeks? This isn't just an inconvenience. It's painful and extremely distressing for a child with ADHD and OCD, who is constantly bothered by something loose in his mouth. Waiting several days feels unreasonable. If there's truly no way to get him in sooner, we're honestly considering removing the loose bracket ourselves because we don't want him to keep suffering. Is there any possibility of an earlier appointment, a cancellation list, or another option to help him before Thursday?

The staff & Dr Higham are absolutely the BEST They are always so kind and spend that extra time with their patients making sure my kids are comfortable and understand the next steps, his staff are thorough and just radiate kindness 🥰

Dr. Higham has put braces on four of my kids so far, and they definitely haven’t been the easiest patients—but he has handled every situation with incredible skill and care. My older son had a molar that was fused to his jawbone and required oral surgery to remove it. After everything he went through, Dr. Higham gave him an amazing smile. My older daughter had a canine tooth growing horizontally in the roof of her mouth and also needed surgery. They attached a chain to the tooth and slowly pulled it down, and when it finally came into place, it turned out to be backwards. Dr. Higham was still able to correct it and get it perfectly aligned, which was incredible to see. We’re hoping my younger son will have a more “normal” braces experience with just one phase, but no matter what comes, we know he’s in the best hands. My other daughter just got her braces off today after her first phase, and we’ll finish everything up once all her adult teeth come in. Even my youngest, who is only 7, constantly asks when it will be her turn for braces—that says a lot about how positive the experience has been for our family! East Idaho Orthodontics provides such a welcoming and supportive environment. The assistants are always kind, patient, and encouraging, and the front desk staff is amazing to work with. Dr. Higham is truly a perfectionist, and it shows in his work. He takes the time to do things right and make sure each smile turns out beautifully. If you’re trying to decide on an orthodontist, I can’t recommend Dr. Higham and his team enough. We are so grateful for the care they’ve given our family.
