About This Provider
Dr. Kenneth S. Hauser, DDS, MA, founded Edgebrook Orthodontics on Chicago's northwest side, bringing a level of academic depth and clinical training that sets him apart from a typical neighborhood orthodontic practice. A Chicago-area native who grew up in the north suburbs, Dr. Hauser trained at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in general and hospital dentistry before completing his orthodontic specialization at Columbia University School of Dental and Oral Surgery in 1994. He earned both a Certificate of Specialization in Orthodontics and a Master of Arts in Dental Science, with a thesis focused on synovial fluid from inflamed human temporomandibular joints. That research background gives him a science-grounded understanding of jaw function that directly informs how he approaches complex cases today. He treats children and adults using the Damon System, Invisalign, and temporary anchorage devices. Patients consistently report that he explains every step of treatment before it begins and that finished results meet high expectations. Dr. Hauser served as past President of the Chicago Dental Society-Northwest Branch in 2011 and volunteers with HOPE for Kids and Connections for the Homeless, extending his commitment well beyond the office.
