Services
Metal Braces
Metal braces use stainless steel brackets and archwires to effectively straighten teeth and correct bite issues. This proven method offers precise control for complex orthodontic cases while being more affordable than other options. Patients benefit from durable, color-customizable brackets that deliver consistent results through regular adjustments.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are removable, nearly invisible trays that gradually shift teeth into proper alignment. Ideal for mild to moderate cases, this treatment allows unrestricted eating and oral hygiene while providing comfortable, discreet orthodontic correction for teens and adults.
Child Orthodontics
Specialized orthodontic care for children addresses developmental issues with tooth alignment and jaw growth. Early intervention between ages 7-10 can prevent more serious problems, creating space for permanent teeth and establishing proper bite patterns through customized treatment plans.
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces provide invisible orthodontic treatment by placing customized brackets behind teeth. This option combines the effectiveness of traditional braces with aesthetic benefits, offering precise tooth movement for patients seeking discreet correction of complex alignment issues.
In-House Aligners
Our in-house aligner system offers personalized clear tray therapy with digital precision. Using advanced 3D scanning technology, we create sequential aligners that gradually reposition teeth while allowing easy removal for meals and cleaning, combining convenience with effective treatment.

My daughter had Stacey put her braces on and she was AMAZING! Took her time, made my daughter feel comfortable, did an amazing job and she's so sweet! Dr. Hockenberger does an amazing job and is currently working with two of our children. We've been so pleased with the progress of our first daughter, and I know will with our second one, as well. We've always had a great experience and everyone here is super nice! Highly recommend!

My sons dentist recommended us to come see Them for crowding in his mouth. We love it here! They are all so nice and informative. My son had to get braces and knew exactly what he was having done and why they explained everything to him like he was an adult! They looked at him and showed him in detail what he needed to do and how to do it. We left feeling confident in the fact that we know what we need to do to make sure he's braces are the most effective and safe! Highly recommend them to anyone with kids! Very professional and kind! Not like the dentists I had as a kid that wouldn't even talk to me!

Dr. Brian is an excellent orthodontist! I got aligners and have been very happy with the results so far! Very caring staff and comfortable office environment! They have really done a great job already correcting problems with my bite which needed adjustment to make my teeth strike one another more flush when I chew and this is the biggest deference with going to an proper orthodontist for aligners rather than ordering them from a regular dentist or opting for cheaper at home impression kit. Very worth the investment to do it the right way! Look closely can you see them?

The kids have loved this office since they walked in. We looked at other places and they did not want to go anywhere else. They are so helpful, compassionate and easy to work with.
