Dr. Teddi Triphon was born and raised in Sacramento,CA. She was inspired to become a dentist after getting orthodontic care herself to close a big gap between her front teeth. Dr Teddi earned her dental degree at University of California San Francisco and completed an advanced dentistry residency with NYU Langone. After a few years of general practice, Dr. Teddi was still very interested in orthodontics and was able to shadow Dr Evrigenis until she was admitted to Loma Linda University‘s Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics program. Now a licensed orthodontist, Dr Teddi is happy to be creating smiles in the town she grew up in. When she’s not in the office, Dr Teddi likes to travel, hike, and spend time with her family.
