Messenger Orthodontics
Hello, I am Dr. Jennifer Messenger. I'd like to welcome you to Messenger Orthodontics.

Everyone should LOVE their smile! My vision for Messenger Orthodontics is the culmination of over 20 years of education and experience, paired with a genuine passion for creating beautiful, healthy smiles.
​
As an Orange County native, I love the beach and being outdoors, and I’ve designed my boutique practice with these inspirations in mind. At Messenger Orthodontics, we pride ourselves on providing a warm, family-style atmosphere where every patient feels valued and cared for. My sole focus is to create functional and beautiful smiles while making each step of the journey an enjoyable and memorable experience.
​
​
Established in 2018, Messenger Orthodontics combines state-of-the-art technology with a personalized approach to treatment. As a board-certified specialist in Orthodontics—a distinction held by only 30% of orthodontists—I’m dedicated to staying at the forefront of orthodontic advances. I digitally plan each smile, ensuring treatments are not only effective and efficient but also deliver the most esthetic results for each patient’s unique needs. We also offer innovative options such as white-coated wires with ceramic braces, clear aligner therapy, and 3D printed appliances.
​
As a mother, I understand the importance of balancing busy schedules and value the time of every patient and their family. That’s why we tailor not only our treatments but also our scheduling to accommodate your lifestyle. While last-minute scheduling can be tricky, by scheduling in advance and keeping appointments, we can typically ensure that short appointments - such as adjustment and checks - can be scheduled during non-school hours.
​
Choosing the right orthodontist is a big decision, and I’m here to guide you every step of the way. During your new patient consultation, I’ll provide all the information you need to make the best decision for you and your loved ones.
​
Thank you for taking the time to learn more about Messenger Orthodontics. We look forward to welcoming you into our orthodontic family!"

Treatment Options
Early Treatment
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that children get an orthodontic evaluation at the age of 7 to check the growth and development of the teeth and jaws. If early treatment is indicated this is known as Phase I treatment.
Adult Treatment
Whether you have never had orthodontic treatment or have had some movement since your braces came off it's never too late to make a perfect smile. We offer several different cosmetic options.
Metal Braces
​
3D Scanner
No more goopy impressions. Our Itero intra-oral scanner creates a digital 3D model of your teeth.
Teen Treatment
The ideal age for full orthodontic treatment and bite correction is once the permanent teeth have erupted and growth is not yet complete.
Surgical Orthodontics
Some bites require a combination of orthodontics and orthognathic (jaw) surgery. We work closely with your oral surgeon to give you the best result possible.
​
Clear Braces
​
Retention
Retainers are for life. As long as you wear properly fitted retainers, you will have a beautiful smile forever. We offer clear and custom designed retainers.
