Brian J. Hockel, DDS Life Dental & Orthodontics, Dr. Brian Hockel's general and orthodontic office is in Walnut Creek, CA Why?

Specialties

We are a general and orthodontic practice that specializes in both cosmetic and functional reconstructions, as well as unique types of orthodontics and airway treatment. Orthodontic: Dr. Hockel does not extract teeth for orthodontics, and will often open spaces back up. The simple reason is that the airway, jaw joint and appearance often require it. We focus on the actual causes of crooked teeth, jaw and bite problems, and try to resolve these causes. Both kids and adults can benefit from tooth-straightening like that. Cosmetic: Dr. Hockel has advanced training and artistic experience in helping you achieve the smile you want, and maintaining healthy bite function too. Ceramic and resin materials, tooth whitening and tooth reshaping, are all options to consider. Sleep Apnea and Airway Protection: Our goal in sleep apnea care is to help you or your child open your airway. Dr. Hockel has a special interest in treating compromised airways, snoring and sleep apnea, problems which are often related to jaw joint problems. CPAP, oral appliances and surgery are options usually discussed by the medical doctors, but there's a lot more to consider with our approach. Orthotropics: A type of treatment called Orthotropics is an amazing way to help a child look and feel their best by optimizing their growth direction. Kids often grow too much vertically, having weak jaws and gummy smiles. Ask us how Orthotropics can help your child both with optimal (horizontal) growth and a bigger airway!
