Dr. Shane L. Schvaneveldt, DDS MClD, Orthodontist

Orthodontics isn’t just about straightening teeth—it’s about aligning bites, correcting jaw discrepancies, and sometimes even reshaping facial profiles over time. While general dentists handle cavities and cleanings, orthodontists specialize in the mechanics of tooth movement, whether that means traditional braces, clear aligners, or retainers. Jerome’s options for this kind of care are limited, which makes finding a dedicated provider a little easier when you’re mapping out treatment for yourself or a teenager. The field itself blends science with a fair amount of patience; adjustments happen gradually, and follow-ups are part of the process.

The practice at 1100 N Lincoln Ave in Jerome covers the full spectrum—initial consultations, progress checks, and post-treatment retention plans. Since orthodontic work often spans months or years, having a local office cuts down on travel time for routine visits. Need to confirm details or schedule an appointment? Call (208) 324-9880. The map shows it’s just off US-93, where Lincoln Avenue meets the quieter edges of town—close enough to the main drag but without the traffic of Twin Falls. This stretch of Jerome leans more residential, with a mix of older homes and small professional offices; it’s the kind of area where you’re more likely to see pickup trucks than foot traffic.
