About This Provider

Dr. Karen Seder, DDS, MS, is the founder and owner of Seder Orthodontics in Chicago, Illinois, where she has treated patients for 25 years. Growing up in St. Petersburg, Florida, Dr. Seder underwent extensive dental treatment as a child, an experience that gave her firsthand understanding of what patients face and why precise, compassionate care matters. She completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Florida, then earned both her Doctorate of Dental Surgery and a Master of Science from Northwestern University, graduating in 1999. Dr. Seder is board certified by the American Board of Orthodontists and holds certifications in Invisalign, iTero digital scanning, and PROPEL accelerated orthodontics. She treats children, teens, and adults, offering everything from early two-phase jaw development therapy and dentofacial orthopedics to clear aligner treatment and surgical orthodontics coordinated with oral surgeons. Her clinical reputation rests on two qualities rarely found together: technical perfectionism and genuine warmth with every patient. Her practice philosophy is direct: treat each patient as an individual, apply a conservative clinical lens, and never recommend treatment that is not truly necessary.
