About Hockenberger Orthodontics
Dr. Brian N. Hockenberger treats anxious kids and complex cases like underbites directly with expanders, often resolving issues in weeks rather than months.
Reviews highlight expander and appliance treatment for corrections like underbites and overbites, often completed faster than families expected. Dr. Hockenberger is noted for working directly with young patients rather than only their parents, and for avoiding unnecessary tooth extraction. Several reviews mention nervous or anxious patients being put at ease during treatment. Scheduling can be tight since office hours are limited, though emergency appointments are sometimes available the same day.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I cannot say enough great things about Dr. Hockenberger and his entire team. From day one, they have been incredibly friendly, welcoming, and personable. They made my son feel comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process, which means so much as a parent. We are only two weeks into treatment for my son’s underbite, and the results have already been amazing. With just an expander and Dr. Hockenberger’s expertise, his underbite is almost gone. I have been truly impressed by how attentive Dr. Hockenberger is and the level of care he provides to each patient. What makes this experience even more meaningful is that I had braces and jaw surgery myself when I was younger and did not have the best orthodontic experience. Because of that, I was nervous about starting this journey with my son. Dr. Hockenberger and his staff have completely changed my perspective. They have made this experience positive, reassuring, and worthwhile every step of the way. I am so grateful that we chose this practice and became part of their orthodontic family. Seeing such incredible progress in such a short amount of time has been exciting and encouraging. I cannot wait to see my son’s final results, and I would highly recommend Dr. Hockenberger Orthodontics to anyone looking for exceptional care, outstanding results, and a team that truly treats you like family.
My daughter had a bad experience at another orthodontic office before we switched here, so she was nervous during the first appointment. Thankfully the assistants were patient and didn’t rush her at all. They explained every tool before using it and kept checking if she was comfortable. We once had to reschedule last minute because of school exams, and the receptionist handled it kindly instead of making us feel like an inconvenience. Huge improvement from our previous clinic.
We’ve had such a wonderful experience at Dr. Hockenberger’s orthodontic office! From the moment you walk in, you’re greeted by a team that is genuinely welcoming, helpful, and incredibly informative. Dr. Hockenberger is absolutely the best – he’s so patient and kind with my son Izaac, always taking the time to explain things in a way that makes us feel comfortable and confident in the process. A special shoutout to Michelle at the front desk – she’s an absolute gem! She’s always so understanding and flexible, somehow managing to work around my constantly changing schedule with a smile. It’s clear that everyone in the office truly cares about their patients, and that makes all the difference. We’re so grateful to be in such good hands. Highly recommend!
Everyone is amazing. I always feel welcome and am so happy with the work Dr. Hockenberger does. Absolutely the best. Will gladly recommend to others.
Thank you to everyone at this office for being a wonderful place to bring my children! Dr. Hockenberger truly knows his craft and was so thorough during the first consultation. He even took a look at our younger son that came to the appointment and noticed that an adult tooth had been blocked out by his back molar. He put on three braces and after a couple appointments he re-opened the space and the adult tooth was able to come in. He did this all at no charge, idk any doctor’s office that would do that! The front desk always scheduled my sons to come in together to make it easy on my husband and me. I called late on a Friday night once because we were leaving town and the office manager answered and came to the office 15 mins later to meet us to clip my son’s wire! BEST CARE, BEST SERVICE! I send all my friends here!
