Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that specializes in treating patients with improper positioning of teeth when the mouth is closed (malocclusion), which results in an improper bite.
Oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMS or OMFS) specializes in treating many diseases, injuries and defects in the head, neck, face, jaws and the hard and soft tissues of the oral (mouth) and maxillofacial (jaws and face) region. It is an internationally recognized surgical specialty.
This is the greatest orthodontist office I have ever known. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the expertise of both Dr. Strange and Dr. Hancock is top-notch. Both of my kids got their braces done here and we couldn't be happier with the results. Five stars!
I LOVE THIS OFFICE! Dr. Strange put my braces in when I was about 17 or 16. Having my smile aligned changed my life! Everyone in the office is super attentive and accommodating. I currently have not lost my current pair of top and bottom retainers - but I did need new ones made more times than I can count or have tracked. Shannon makes really pretty retainers and they are fun to wear! It never took more than a week to get my new pair of retainers. I recommend glow-in-the-dark retainers- they glow REALLY bright. Everyone there is amazingly sweet and their office has some pretty cool games in the waiting room. All of my brothers and sisters got their braces done here as well. :) Keep up the good work, guys!
Both of our children have been patients of Doctors Strange and Hancock for the past six years. Both dentists have an excellent reputation in the community. In addition, they are reputable, personable, knowledgeable, honest, and caring. They get along well with the kids as well as the parents. They do not try to up-sell and they take their time to ensure a good outcome (beautiful smile). Their office is comfortable and their front desk staff is very pleasant. We would highly recommend them for anyone considering any orthodontic work.
We've been seeing Dr. Hancock for about 2 years. We initially saw him because we were dissatisfied with our son's regular dentist who wanted to pull teeth. Dr. Hancock was very thorough and conservative in his approach. He's been monitoring my son's mouth since he has extra teeth (one erupted & one not) that will eventually need to come out. We're finally to the point that the teeth will need to come out, and then I see braces in our future. Oh, did I mention that he's never charged me once for these visits?
Dr. Strange and Dr. Hancock are the best at what they do! Very professional, friendly and honest. My young daughter has never dreaded going to her appointments because the doctors speak with her, not at her. They include her in the conversations about treatment which removes any fear she might feel. We could not be happier!
He pays great attention to detail, has fabulous staff, a great personality, and a great smile!
