Hamburg Township stretches between Pinckney, Whitmore Lake, and Brighton, so it has several mailing addresses and more than one school district. This page covers the drive from the center of the township, the schools nearby, and what to expect at a first visit.
At Dexter Orthodontics, we welcome patients from Hamburg Township and the surrounding area. Dr. Mary Beth Moenssen and Dr. Brandon Shoukri treat patients at our Dexter office, roughly 25 minutes from the township without traffic.
Our office at 7200 Dan Hoey Road, Suite B, in Dexter is about 14 miles from the center of Hamburg Township, roughly 25 minutes without traffic. The township is large, so families on the Pinckney side or the Whitmore Lake side will see somewhat different times.
From the township center, take M-36 to Merrill Road, then follow Strawberry Lake Road and Mast Road, which leads into Dexter. From downtown Dexter, Dexter-Ann Arbor Road leads to Dan Hoey Road. Your map app can choose the quickest route on the day, so it's worth a look before your first visit.
Depending on where you live in the township, your child may attend Pinckney Community Schools or Brighton Area Schools. The American Association of Orthodontists advises a first orthodontic check-up by age 7, and the stages line up like this in both districts:
Each district posts its calendar online, so it's easy to choose appointment days around breaks. Before treatment begins, we'll outline the likely visit schedule so you can plan around the drive.
Every child's timeline is a little different. Early on, some patients are good candidates for Phase 1 Treatment and others only need regular check-ups. Later, teens and adults can weigh Braces against Invisalign, and we'll explain what we'd recommend and why.
The township's Parks and Recreation department hosts Christmas in the Village, a holiday event in the Village of Hamburg, and its Parks and Recreation page lists the township's other programs and events.
A first visit with us is a complimentary consultation, and nothing about it obligates you to treatment. We'll check your child's teeth and bite, explain whether treatment is recommended, and provide a cost estimate if it is. The American Association of Orthodontists covers the usual steps in its first appointment guide, from the exam through the treatment plan to the conversation about cost.
We often take a digital scan with 3D Scanning rather than using impression trays, and our team can explain Finance & Insurance before you make any decisions. Ready to talk? Schedule a Consultation.
