Cook Orthodontics of Dublin is run by our board certified orthodontist Dr. Brandon Cook and his team of specialized dental professionals. Dr. Cook has the training and experience to provide a range of orthodontic treatments and handle some of the most complex cases.
Dr. Cook believes orthodontic treatment is about much more than moving teeth. His mission is to help as many central Ohio patients as possible have the smiles they want and see their lives improve as a result of their new smile. He has witnessed firsthand how much of a positive difference a better smile can make in a persons life, and he wants to help more people have that experience.
The rest of the team members at Cook Orthodontics of Dublin are all highly trained, and specialized with years of experience in their specific areas of the practice. Plus, they all share Dr. Cooks desire to transform peoples lives through their smiles.
Our practice focuses on our patients. The concern we have about the health and happiness of the patients we treat is the motivation behind being able to successfully listen and learn about whats happening in each patients life and how their current dental condition is impacting them. For example, we hear from patients who are self-conscious about the appearance of their smile and from those who have difficulty speaking and chewing because of the placement of their teeth and jaws. We also see children who are recommended for early interceptive treatment so we can start addressing dental concerns before they become a problem.
Dr. Cook and his staffs combined years of education, training and experience in orthodontics have prepared them to excel in cases within a wide range in level of difficulty. Prospective patients seek out our knowledge and experience when they have been told from other offices that their case is too difficult to be treated at that office. Whether it is early intervention in children with severe overbites, underbites or crowding to adults with surgical or comprehensive restorative needs, we feel confident that we can find a solution together.
Dr. Brandon Cook grew up in the mountains of Utah. Following undergraduate studies and a two-year mission trip to Berlin, Germany, he moved to Columbus and earned his dental degree, summa cum laude, from The Ohio State University. He remained at OSU to complete a three-year residency and received his specialty certificate in orthodontics and Master of Science degree. Dr. Cook joined Hutta & Cook Orthodontics in 2005 and soon after completed the requirements to attain the distinct honor of being a diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics.
Dr. Cook practiced orthodontics in the Worthington and Dublin offices for 15 years, refining his expertise and incorporating the latest techniques and technology. In 2021, Dr. Cook began seeing patients exclusively in the Dublin office with a dedicated staff, which became Cook Orthodontics of Dublin. Dr. Cook enjoys having the opportunity to focus his time and effort on treating the patients of Dublin and of central Ohio. When not helping patients achieve beautiful smiles, Dr. Cook is busy with family life and enjoys cheering on the Buckeyes as well as skiing, fishing, horseback riding and spending time outdoors. He resides in Powell with his wife, Jill, and their three children.
You may wonder why children who still have baby teeth are wearing braces these days. In the past, it was customary to wait to visit an orthodontist as a teenager when all of the baby teeth were lost. Orthodontics is a much different experience than many of us adults remember it to be for many reasons including technological improvements in appliances and advances in orthodontic technique and procedures. Beginning to influence their final smile early in childhood has a positive contribution to ones self-esteem, younger patients are more compliant with following instructions and they have a positive attitude towards orthodontics because their peers are often having the similar experiencesand lets not forget how much fun decorating braces with colors is!
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends children get their first check-up at the first recognition of an orthodontic problem, but no later than age 7. Around that age, children have a mix of baby (primary) teeth and permanent teeth. An examination as permanent teeth take the place of baby teeth, and as the face and jaws are growing, gives the orthodontist a wealth of information. If a problem exists, or if one is developing, your orthodontist is able to advise you on whether treatment is recommended, when it should begin, what form treatment will take, and estimate its length of time.
Early orthodontic treatment can help minimize the need for more extensive treatment as teens or adults, such as extraction of permanent teeth or orthognathic jaw surgery. The goal of early treatment is to create an environment to allow the permanent teeth to erupt as close to an ideal position as possible. This makes the teeth more stable long term and often shortens the amount of time patients have to spend in full braces during their teenage years, often called Phase 2.
There is no one set answer on the cost of orthodontic treatment. Thats because its an individualized treatment process to fit each patients needs and goals. The cost depends on factors like how severe your case is, which appliances you need and how long your treatment should take. We offer a comprehensive estimate during your first visit that will give you a much more precise idea of the cost. We also offer financing options to help with all types of budgets.
With Phase 1 braces, Damon braces as well as active aligners, youll likely come for a visit on average every eight weeks. During each visit, we check on your progress and make adjustments as needed to achieve the desired results.. Some appliances or treatment types could have a different visit frequency such as four to six weeks, especially when nearing the end of treatment.

I cannot express my distaste enough w/this practice. I personally received orthodontic treatment from Dr. Hutta in my early teen years, & then went back to the practice which at that time was ran by both Dr. Hutta and Dr. Cook when I was an adult. Personally, I received great care; therefore, I decided this is where I would take both of my children for their orthodontic services. I'm also of the mindset that higher prices generally equate to higher quality (although I know that's not always the case), & with that notion in mind I felt that the higher prices they charge for care in comparison to other orthodontic practices was going to be justified in their level of treatment. I have been completely proven wrong. My daughter started her phase 2 on 5/27/21 with an estimate that she would have her braces removed in 9/22. We have attended 7 normally scheduled appointments for this treatment along with 7 "emergency" (3 of those were because of "wire pokes" which aren't uncommon--although I do feel that is high number in a 10 month span, 1 was because a wire was pushing out on her cheek, 1 because a bracket came off, 1 because a wire broke, 1 because the wire completely came out of the brackets, & at one appt we had a secondary issue of a bracket was coming apart). Additionally, there have been 2 occasions where 1 of the 2 fake teeth (my daughter is congenitally missing her upper lateral teeth) they used for my daughter was so loose that it came down & was well below the rest of her teeth. The explanation I was given both times was that my daughter was likely biting into something so it was her fault the teeth were coming out. Each time I was told they would secure these teeth better. Not only was the place of blame on my daughter inaccurate (she fiercely makes sure she doesn't use these teeth), the lack of accountability on behalf of the service provided was incomprehensible. My question was if you could have made these more secure, why would that not have been done in the first place? To add insult to injury, I politely mentioned at one of the problem appointments that the service was taking longer than expected, & I was told that she could be scheduled every 4 weeks instead of every 8 weeks so that we could make the process move more quickly. My thought is that should have been offered in the first place. When I not so politely complained about this along with the lack of quality in the service to the office manager (Barb), I was told they generally don't make this offer because moving teeth more quickly can hurt the patient's mouth. My response was that all of these problems she's having are hurting her mouth (she's had the insides of her checks completely scrapped up and bleeding because of all of the problems resulting from their services) already, which was essentially met with a head nod and lack of accountability. At her most recent visit, her treatment time was extended an estimated 6-8 months. We're so far along into her treatment & its costs that now we're stuck at the practice for the continuation of her care. I'm not looking to rush care, I am however looking for quality care & the extended time is just an additional frustration. To say I am disappointed in this practice is an understatement. I feel like we've been paying Nordstrom prices (they are higher than many other practices) for Big Lots service. The office is beautiful & for the most part, the staff is friendly. Aside from that, I wouldn't recommend taking a dog here for treatment. The quality isn't there & the price is not in alignment with the services received.

Firstly, the orthodontist I started my whole journey with left me halfway through my treatment unannounced when the practice split up. Once the split happened between orthodontists there is no doctor to cover the others vacations (which have been numerous), so the office is often closed for a week at a time. On top of this the replacement retainers were only about $68 and then without telling me or making any kind of email announcement they raised the price of a replacement to $200+ ...I did not know the price had changed until my account was charged which is an unacceptable business practice. All of the money, pain, and energy I have spent just to get rid of a small gap in my teeth has not been at all worth it.

Outstanding staff to support an outstanding orthodontist. Beautiful results. No surprises with treatment. Followed their instructions and had no issues throughout treatment of 3 of my children over several years. Couldn't be happier! Thanks Dr Cook!

I highly recommend Hutta & Cook Orthodontist. Every staff member is very friendly and helpful. Both of my daughters were nervous going in, but were completely at ease afterwards. The beautiful office creates a soothing distraction for the children. The Staff also calms the children with their warm and friendly conversation. They use nice visual aids during the consultation that help explain exactly what is to be expected. Also, my daughter thought something was wrong with her wires, so we were able to get a quick appointment (nothing was wrong with her wires, but her worries were relieved). Thank you!

I have taken all three of my kids here over a ten year period and have never had a negative experience. In fact, they make the whole process as pleasant as possible. We have enjoyed the extra things they've done to show customer appreciation, as well. And most importantly, my kids now have beautifully straight teeth!

My son and I love Dr. Cook's team. My son has had braces for 25 months and gets his removed 1 one week. We have a great experience with this team at every visit, every time. I also decided to get braces (I'm in my 30s) and have been wearing them for 9 months. Personally, I enjoy the service they provided to me! I wouldn't go anywhere else and I would recommend Dr. Cook 110%

Hutta & Cook were recommended by my dentist, when I discovered a crack in my Invisalign retainer. I no longer live in the same area as where I received orthodontic care 10+ years ago, so I wasn't sure where to go. However, Hutta & Cool were so fast and accommodating, fitting me in to their schedule even though I was not a past patient of theirs, and now I have a great new retainer that fits well and was made within the week! Really appreciated the thorough care I received and would definitely recommend them.

We had a great consultation and are very happy with our experience so far. Dawn and Dr. Cook were very personable and informative. They included my daughter, 9, in the treatment planning conversation rather than only directing the conversation to me as the parent. I thought that was a great approach and it helped her feel more at ease. The treatment plan was more conservative than I expected, which was a relief. I came away feeling like we had a very detailed idea of what to expect and how we will proceed with her orthodontic care.
