Cook Orthodontics began when Dr. Thomas Cook started practicing on Water Street in Augusta, ME, in the summer of 1976. Dr. Thomas Cook built and relocated his practice to our current location at 45 Fuller Road in 1992. Dr. Brian Cook joined his father in practice in 2014, and they practiced together for 7 years until Dr. Thomas Cook retired at the end of 2021. Dr. Brian Cook is proud to carry on the legacy of high-quality orthodontic care delivered in a caring environment.
Dr. Brian Cook has three children, and if he is very lucky, they may someday become the third generation of Cook Orthodontics.
