Beyond The Brackets: How Accelerated Orthodontics Fits The Busy Mahoning County Lifestyle

Hockenberger Orthodontics offers Propel technology to stimulate faster tooth movement, allowing our patients to achieve their goal smiles in significantly less time.

Moving at the Speed of Life

Whether you are a student-athlete in Boardman or a professional in Youngstown, time is your most valuable asset. Propel Orthodontics is a clinical acceleration method that works with your body’s natural biology. By gently stimulating the bone surrounding the teeth, Propel encourages faster remodeling. This Bridge between traditional biology and modern innovation can reduce your time in braces by several months.

High-Tech Comfort in the Smile Suite

Accelerated treatment doesn’t mean more discomfort. In fact, many patients find that shortening their treatment time results in fewer total days of minor adjustment soreness. In our “Smile Suite” environment, we prioritize your comfort while using these advanced tools to help you reach the finish line faster. It’s the ultimate solution for the modern, community-driven professional.

FAQ SECTION

Q: How much faster can Propel actually make my treatment? While every patient’s biology is different, Propel can often reduce total treatment time by 30% to 50%. This means a 24-month case could potentially be finished in just over a year. During your progress checks, we’ll monitor your progress to provide an updated “graduation date” for your braces.

Q: Is Propel an extra procedure I have to schedule separately? The Propel process is typically integrated directly into your regularly scheduled adjustment visits here in our office. It only takes a few extra minutes, so it won’t disrupt your workday or school schedule. We aim to make your visits as efficient as possible so you can get back to your busy life in Mahoning County.

Q: Does insurance cover accelerated orthodontic options? Most insurance plans cover the standard orthodontic portion of your care, while accelerated features like Propel may be an elective addition. We are experts at navigating Ohio insurance benefits and will provide a full breakdown of any out-of-pocket costs upfront. We also offer internal payment plans to make the “fast track” fit your monthly budget.
