We feel honored to be able to provide orthodontic care in Pocatello, Blackfoot, and Soda Springs, Idaho. If youre looking for a true Orthodontist in Idaho, were the ones for you. Thats why we give back to the communities that have embraced our practice. After all, we dont just work in Southeast Idaho, Dr. McMinn, Dr. Brown and the rest of the team at Idaho Orthodontics call it home.

Dr. Jeff McMinn was born and raised in Pocatello, Idaho. He attended and received his bachelors degree from Idaho State University. While attending Idaho State, He met his wife Maja and they were married prior to his graduating. He attended the University of Pittsburgh School of Dental Medicine and received his Doctor of Medical Dentistry in 2002. He continued his education in Pittsburgh, doing his orthodontic residency at the University of Pittsburgh.

While in Pittsburgh He and his wife had 2 children.Dr. McMinn and his family returned to Pocatello in 2005 when he joined the Idaho Orthodontics office working alongside Dr. Eric Johnson. He has loved working at Idaho Orthodontics and looks forward to working there for many years to come.

Since joining Idaho Orthodontics, he and his wife have added two more children to their family.Dr. McMinn and Maja stay busy supporting their 4 children in their various activities. They can usually be found at the soccer fields, volleyball courts, basketball courts or on the mountain bike trails. They both like to volunteer to help their childrens teams.

When free time can be found, Dr. McMinn enjoys being outdoors. During summer and fall he spends as much time as he can either mountain biking or road biking. He also enjoys water sports such as waterskiing. In the winter he enjoys staying active on the ski slopes.

Dr. Taylor Brown was born and raised in the crisp air of the mountain west in Farmington, Utah. He attended Utah State University, receiving scholarships for both academics and leadership. The best part of his college experience was meeting his way-too-good-for-him wife, Tessa, an Idaho native who showed him how to properly prepare a Russet. He graduated magna cum laude with a B.S. in Nutrition Science. His major nutritional pursuit is to get chocolate added to the 5 main food groups. He finds Oreos and Reeses Peanut Butter Cups particularly irresistible.

Dr. Brown went on to attend dental school at Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska. While there, he and Tessa were blessed with 2 superhero boys, Boston and Bennett. While in dental school Dr. Brown learned a lot about teeth, and received several awards for clinical and academic excellence. But more importantly, he learned how much he enjoys taking care of people. This led him to volunteer at and eventually run a reduced rate night clinic for those in need. He loves getting to know his patients and will not settle for anything less than an exceptional patient experience.

After dental school, Dr. Brown was selected to receive his orthodontic training from the prestigious, top ranked program at Virginia Commonwealth University. There he received specialized training in orthodontics and dentofacial orthopedics, as well as his masters degree in oral biology. Of all the education in Dr. Browns life, he is most grateful for his two years at VCU. Surrounded by the best and brightest in the world, he learned how to practice orthodontics with the highest level of clinical excellence. In his residency, Dr. Brown was a member of the VCU Craniofacial/Facial Reconstruction Team and regularly reviewed literature for The Angle Orthodontist, one of the most prominent orthodontic journals worldwide. He is well versed in traditional braces, Invisalign, clear braces, orthognathic surgery, cleft palate/craniofacial syndromes, and sleep apnea. Dr. Brown was personally mentored by the #1 Invisalign provider in the North America, and has experience treating cases from simple to complex cases with Invisalign.

The Brown family was dramatically improved by the birth of their first girl, Summer. As their only child born in Pocatello, she already claims favorite child status and her parents dont see that changing anytime soon. She is often seen with pigtails, made possible by very tiny orthodontic rubber bands!

Outside the office Dr. Brown loves to do all things Idaho, including skiing, mountain biking, and fishing. He enjoys playing tennis, especially with his sweetheart. He often submits to his boys unyielding requests to play Wrestle-Mania and will do so until he no longer has an unfair advantage! Dr. Brown loves to travel with his family, especially when new and interesting food is involved.Interesting Fact: A car drove straight through Dr. Browns house when he was 4 years old. Feel free to ask him for details and pictures!

The dr.s are good and the assistants, but the office staff is terrible. They are some of the most unprofessional, rude, inappropriate, unapologetic jerks I have ever dealt with. Not once have I or my wife had a good experience with them. They are snooty girls who need to grow up, and be adults. They are just so unbelievably rude!!! They are going to lose business if they keep those woman up front around.

If you're looking for an assembly line of braces/retainers, then this is the place for you! Getting an appointment is nearly impossible, and then when you do, the front desk staff act like they're doing you a favor by offering an appointment 3 months out. They refuse to work around any type of schedules and act put out when you can't just take their next available appointment. With the exception of the folks that answer the phone and schedule appointments, everyone is very nice...but you're literally walking into a Braces and Retainer Factory. The kids are lined up like an assembly line for the Dentist to roll between, spend a minute or two and move on...ZERO Personal Service! Not sure if anywhere else in town is any better, but couldn't be less impressed with this place. Went in today for a simple retainer check (post braces) and after 45 minutes of waiting had to leave because we still hadn't gotten called back for our spot on the assembly line. Unbelievable to me that people are willing to pay for this kind of "service"!

Took Invisaligners here, highly recommend. Exceptionally friendly professionals with good communication skills. They told me when I would be done and answered additional questions about the process. Finished treatment 4 months early. Thanks! :)

I don't just see the people over at Idaho Orthodontics as dentists, I see them as friends, people who show genuine care and passion in their work and with their customers, and always makes sure everyone walks out their doors with a 5-star smile, every single time

My son got his braces off and was given a retainer... day 1 it chipped off a chunk of his tooth (left a message with the Doctor but received no return call) and now his gum is swollen in that area.... just called the office again and the receptionist says it's not their problem and I should take him to his regular dentist. Serious vibes of "If you're not LDS, we won't give you proper service". Avoid at all cost.

Everyone at this office was a pleasure to interact with. The providers truly care about the patients and staff. I can tell when I walk in that the mood is positive and upbeat. The treatment that was provided was appropriate and I never felt like I was being upsold on anything. Love the results!

Idaho Orthodontics is the best! All 3 of my kids and myself have had treatment by them. Dr McMinn and Dr Brown are so knowledgeable in regular braces and Invisalign. I not only love the beautiful smiles they have given us but they know each ...

My son and I both had Invisalign and my daughter had braces all at the same time. The office was so great to work with. They helped us get our appointments the same days so we didn't have to come in all at different times. The doctors are the best and everyone was very friendly. We wouldn't go anywhere else!
