Your First Visit
Your First Visit
At the first visit to Dr. Hockenberger's office, diagnostic records are made to determine the best course of treatment. Complete diagnostic records typically include a medical/dental history, clinical examination, plaster study models of the teeth, photos of the patient's face and teeth and X-rays. This information is used to develop a custom treatment plan for each patient. These records are also helpful in tracking the progress of treatment as the teeth move under orthodontic care.

Consultation
After Dr. Hockenberger has evaluated your records, we discuss your treatment with you in detail, including the fee for your particular case.

Regular Appointments
The appointment when you get your appliances (braces, expanders, etc.) usually takes from one to two hours. You'll then see us at regular intervals six to eight weeks apart for an adjustment, which takes 15 to 20 minutes. Our regular office hours are Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, from 8:00 a.m. until 4:30 p.m. Patients are seen by appointment only. We make every effort to be on time for our patients and ask that you extend the same courtesy to us. If you cannot keep an appointment, please notify us immediately. Cancel only if it is an emergency. It is difficult to reschedule you since most appointments are made six to eight weeks in advance.
