I became an orthodontist to help people, and, in the process, develop great relationships with them. I appreciate the diversity of my days. The conversations with people of different ages. Each with a range of experiences and interests, and how each interaction broadens my world

I started practicing orthodontics in 1996. Growing up and watching my father, Dr. Cobb, Jr., as he cared for patients, and seeing the connections he made and the happiness he delivered, led me to follow in his footsteps. I am honored to practice at the office he established in 1966. Since I share a name with my dad, please call me Dr. Tripp.

I strive to give each of my patients the smile and confidence they deserve. By incorporating technologically advanced techniques into treatment, Im able to develop a care approach thats comfortable and fast. My focus is on functional. Stable results for improved oral health and a pleasing smile that lasts a lifetime.

At Cobb Orthodontics, we provide highly individualized care. No one is forced into a certain treatment plan. Each persons experience is uniquely customized and carried out to meet that persons needs and expectations, while respecting their concerns.

I grew up in Greensboro and graduated from Western Guilford High School. Beyond creating smiles and studying the latest processes and technologies, I enjoy time with my family. Im also active and like biking, skiing, golfing, hiking, kayaking, and fishing and hunting.

Throughout the year, Ive completed many continuing education coursesto staycurrent on all aspects of dentistry while focusing on orthodontics and Invisalign. I feel this makes me a better-rounded professional, beyond creating great smiles, and allows me to provide the highest level of care to my patients.

For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If youre self-conscious about your smile, get to know more about orthodontics and correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.

When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile youve always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.

Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.

Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!

Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.
