Not just any smile, a real smile. The kind of smile that comes from the heart and shines in your eyes. A smile that shows the world the real you one that loves life and everyone in it. A smile thats as confident as you are on the inside.
At Tri-City Orthodontics, you come first. Because here, youre more than a patient, youre a VIP. From start to finish, well be there every step of the way making sure you get the results youre after. And with multiple finance options to choose from, affording it is easier than ever, too.
A self-diagnosed tooth nerd, Dr. Butler wants his patients to not only have straight teeth and a healthy, stable bite, but also a confident smile that lights up the face and reflects the patients unique personality. What really makes his day is seeing the changes, not only in the patients teeth, but in their lives as well.
He received his dental school training at the Oregon Health and Science University School of Dentistry, where he graduated with honors. Then, he went on to complete his orthodontic training at the University of Louisville, where he served as class president and earned both a certificate in orthodontics and a Master of Science in Oral Biology. During his education, he also participated in several research projects and was the recipient of numerous awards. Due to his excellence in clinical skills, Dr. Butler was also invited to serve as a teacher both during dental school and residency.
Born and raised in Southeast Idaho, Dr. Collette served a two-year LDS mission in Rome, Italy, before graduating from Brigham Young University, magna cum laude. He then went on to receive his doctorate of dental surgery from the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio, one of the most top-rated dental schools in the country, graduating summa cum laude and second in his class of over a hundred graduates. He was then selected as one of three residents to remain in San Antonio and complete an additional three years of intense orthodontic training.
I believe the best treatment philosophy is to treat my patients exactly how I would treat a member of my family. With that in mind, Dr. Collette carefully listens to each patients desires and concerns to formulate a custom treatment and financial plan to meet their needs.
Dr. Porter graduated summa cum laude with a 4.0 from Brigham Young University and went on to graduate at the top of his class from Creighton University, one of the best dental schools in the country. He then completed his residency in orthodontics at Virginia Commonwealth University. Dr. Porter comes to us knowing the latest in new technology and science in the orthodontic field. He has practiced orthodontics in the Boise area for several years. When he was younger, Dr. Porter had A LOT of orthodontic treatment, which made him want to make the orthodontic treatment experience great for everyone.
If your teeth are sore after a visit, take acetaminophen or a different non-aspirin pain reliever while you adjust to your new braces. Another idea that may help with the pain is to apply a warm washcloth or heating pad to the sore area. Still feeling pain? Try a warm saltwater rinse to reduce the soreness of your jaws.
If your braces cause irritation, try moving the wire away from the irritated area with a cotton swab or pencil eraser. If the wire will not move, cover the end of it with a small piece of cotton or a small amount of wax. Should pain persist, cut the wire with nail clippers or scissors that have been washed and sterilized in rubbing alcohol.

Came in for a consultation and we loved the place, people and environment that we decided to have braces put on the same day! This was our third consult with the third orthodontist and my daughter and I both agreed on this one.

My daughter has loved her experience here. We didn't know much about this office, but we loved the location and decided to give it a try. Sooooo glad we did! The staff are ALL kind and patient. Love how the space is nicely spaced out and has a wonderful energy. And the ice cream after each visit is a much anticipated treat. Love it!
