Reviews at Mess Orthodontics often highlight Dr. Mess's handling of complicated cases, including multi-year treatment combined with jaw surgery to correct a bite and cases using braces and Invisalign together across different arches. Many reviewers mention his straightforward advice, noting he didn't push costlier options when a simpler fix would do. Scheduling gets mentioned more here than typical, with several noting minimal wait times and flexibility around busy schedules, though a few found appointments harder to arrange.

Had an excellent experience with Dr. Mess! He and his staff are very friendly and professional. While he could have easily conned me by recommending a more expensive alternative, Dr. Mess adjusted my old retainers and I ended up paying a tiny fraction of what I originally thought I had to. He provides honest and high-quality care. I will definitely come to him for future orthodontic needs.

Exceptional Orthodontic Care for the Whole Family! I can't express enough gratitude for the outstanding orthodontic care provided by Dr. Mess (and his amazing staff) for all three of my children. From the initial consultations to the final adjustments, our experience has been nothing short of exceptional. Dr. Mess and his team created a warm and welcoming atmosphere that immediately put my children at ease. The attention to detail and personalized care they provided throughout the entire process truly set them apart. I highly recommend Dr. Mess to anyone seeking top-notch orthodontic care. Thank you for giving my children the gift of confident, beautiful smiles!

I regret going to Mess Orthodontics. During my consultation I feel important details about my treatment were left out so I was unable to make an informed decision. I feel mislead and deceived. It’s not a matter of providing clarity it was a matter of not telling me important details of the treatment plan. For example: I wasn’t told that my lower jaw would be moved back and angled down which would change my face shape and therefore would make me look deflated and aged. I can’t ask questions about something that I wasn’t told. I did express my concerns numerous times during my treatment and it didn’t seem to matter.

As soon as I stepped into Dr. Mess’ office, I knew I had found the right place and was in good hands. The staff is so knowledgeable, but also so fun. The team has always been so polite and accommodating to my busy schedule needs. I’ve never had to wait long, and I’m in and out quickly. Dr Mess Orthodontics is a top notch pick for orthodontic needs.

The doctor and assistants are great, but they are serving too many patients and it is almost impossible to make an appointment much less reschedule one when life happens. And with braces, appointments are frequent. For this reason I will go elsewhere for my second child.
