I really enjoyed my experience with the professionals at Cook orthodontics. Dr. Cook accommodated my desire to keep the braces limited to my lower teeth and have Invisalign on the top; love my new bite and smile!

My experience with Cook Orthodontics was actually very pleasant and that's odd to say about getting braces. Dr. Cook and his team were always very accommodating and answered all my questions. I really appreciate the time and effort spent to get my upper teeth aligned. I'm very happy with the outcome. Thank you!
