Jennie Brehove, DMD, MS
Dr. Jenni Brehove, DMD, MS is a North County San Diego native who first fell in love with orthodontics at age 12, right after discovering how fun orthodontic visits could be & how magical it felt to see her own new smile when her braces came off. Ever since then, she knew she wanted to help other people feel that same confidence and excitement. Dr. Jenni earned her Bachelor of Science in Molecular & Cellular Biology from the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, Washington, where she also played four years of NCAA volleyball and even became an All-American! She completed her Doctor of Dental Medicine degree at Roseman University of Health Sciences in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 2019, followed by her Master of Science and Specialty Certification in Orthodontics from Marquette University in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, in 2021. She is an active member of SDCDS, PCSO, AAO, CAO, CDA. In 2022, she earned board certification from the American Board of Orthodontics (ABO), a distinction achieved by a group of orthodontists who are committed to the highest standards of clinical excellence. Outside the office, Dr. Jenni embraces an active and adventurous lifestyle. She loves playing beach and indoor volleyball, traveling the world in search of new cities and cultures, and hanging out with family, friends, and their dogs.
