Dr. Lineberry earned her MS degree along with her specialty certificate in orthodontics from West Virginia University in Morgantown, West Virginia. She attends meetings all over the country to keep current with the latest technology in orthodontics. Upon completion of her orthodontic training in 1998, she immediately returned to her beautiful home state of Idaho and opened her own practice. Prior to building her Boise Orthodontic office in it's current location, her original orthodontic office was located on five mile and opened in the fall of 1998. In the fall of 1999, she made the decision to open her Mountain Home Orthodontic office. She enjoys her time spent in both orthodontic offices.
Dr. Lineberry is involved in several professional organizations, including the American Dental Association, Southwest Idaho District Dental Society, American Association of Orthodontists and the Pacific Coast Society of Orthodontists.

She loves being a mom and strives to maintain a health balance between work, play and family. Her husband, David, also works at the office and helps with a lot of the practice management duties to ensure Dr.Laura can dedicate more time to patient care when in the office, and more time to family fun when out of the office.
