Seder Orthodontics

Both my daughter and I chose Dr Seder and company. The staff and Dr Seder could not be more professional and… actually fun. They get you in and out quickly and as much as possible painlessly. I had Invisalign and have perfect teeth now. My daughter has a little longer road. We highly recommend Dr Seder and staff. Christy handles the admin part she is super nice and knows her way around the insurance piece more than anyone else I know.

We were able to get an after school hours appointment quickly and the process was very efficient. Being able to complete the new patient forms online and in advance was convenient. All of the staff that we interacted with were professional, responsive to our questions and helpful.

I had fantastic experiences here, and I can’t thank enough for Dr. Seder and her professional staffs! I went here because I had a horrifying experience with the previous general dentist I had with an invisalign work that was getting nowhere to a good result. Dr. Seder answered my questions at the consultations, and was very realistic with her explanations and expectations, so I decided to have braces as an adult for the first time in my life. She was also very reasonable with the pricing as a transfer from invisalign elsewhere. The staffs were very friendly, relaxing and did a wonderful job with my braces, and I really appreciate all of the staffs I had truly cared about being precise with the work not having any brackets or wires fitting smooth so it will not my mouth uncomfortable. They were very patient to listen to any concerns or questions I had and did the best trying to solve them. I got retainers that fits well, with smooth edges. My teeth looks beautiful and it is lasting. I am so happy when I smile now :)

Went in to see Dr. Seder for a consultation after previously seeing someone else for a consultation. I had braces as a teen, but I’ve noticed some shifting and am considering getting braces again. I was told by the other ortho that my only option was some super expensive state of the art technology he was trying to pawn off on me, but Dr. Seder was very thorough and explained that I have a ton of options – all of which would give me the great results I wanted.
Both Dr. Seder and her staff were friendly and professional. (If you ever want to feel academically inadequate, take a seat in her office. She has more degrees than she probably knows what to do with! And I have to admit that immediately put me at ease – especially after my last consultation. I knew I was in good hands). I was called back within minutes of checking in and only had to wait a few minutes for Dr. Seder to finish up with her current patient. She was patient and answered all of my questions (I had a ton since I’ll be paying for them myself this time) and she told me to feel free to contact her with any additional questions I might think of in the coming days. I loved that everyone in the office addressed me by first name and made me feel welcomed. You would have thought I had been a patient there for years!
Being in her office was a bit nostalgic. It’s a teenage kid’s dream. Video games in the lobby, movies playing on flatscreens and all the boy band celebrity gossip magazines your former BSB fanatic heart can stand. Made me feel young again. Lol.
I haven’t yet decided which method of treatment I’m going to use (most likely Invisalign) or when I will start treatment, but I DO know I’ll be using Dr. Seder!

I just completed my course of treatment with Invisalign braces and am very satisfied with the results. Seder Orthodontics helped me every step of the way, and I can recommend them without reservation. Dr. Seder and her staff are very friendly and professional, and I never had a problem getting an appointment. I chose the option where I paid in full upfront and feel that was a good decision — since I had never had to think or worry about paying for any individual service or product.

I did Invisalign with Dr Seder after reading her reviews on Unilocal.The office is professionally run and you never see anyone but Dr Seder or one of her small staff of assistants. They are only open Tues-​Thurs and I think one Saturday a month so that could be an issue for some people. The office is clean and nice and convenient to Halsted and Fullerton and all the public transit in this area. I felt like there were no hidden fees and the price was fair.

I’m an adult with braces. There, I said it. Not Invisalign, not lingual braces… regular braces. *GASP* Well, I went with ceramic on top because I was initially self-​conscious, but I’ve got metal on the bottom baby! At this point, I could care less though. Most people don’t notice them. Then again, supposedly most people didn’t notice the gap in my teeth either, so… most people are lying or most people are oblivious. Either way, these babies are off in the near future (hopefully!) and I actually smile a hell of a lot more than I ever did before, so they can’t be that bad, right?
I’ve wanted braces since I was about 12, except I apparently never let my mother know, so, shame on me. Fast forward 14 years and I decided to just do it. My friends & family liked the gap in my teeth, but I hated it. A good number of people tried to talk me out of it (I guess because they would be embarrassed?), but, I wanted food to get stuck in my teeth just like everyone else! I wanted gapless teeth, dammit, so I decided to ignore the naysayers who said I shouldn’t do it and find an orthodontist.
I found Dr. Seder through a Unilocal search and after booking a consultation elsewhere, I thought I’d check her out too. Well, I pretty much knew walking out of here that I wanted to come back, but that wasn’t solidified until I had an awful experience at the other place. I went for a 3^rd consultation just to be sure, but in the end, the staff at Seder was the staff I felt most comfortable with.
While the hours sometimes seem as though they’re against me, they’re really not. Dr. Seder has later hours to accommodate students without disrupting their schooling. I’m not a parent, but I’m sure parents love not having to take their children out of school early. As far as the staff goes, I love all of them. When I first when in for my x-​rays, I notified them of my piercings and instead of being judgmental and rude, they tried to make it as easy on me as possible. It’s probably a good thing I’ve grown up a little (and subsequently removed a number of piercings willingly), but I feel confident that if it was the 23-​year-​old me (or, whatever age I had 3 tongue piercings), they still wouldn’t care.
I don’t have dental insurance and because this is all out-​of-​pocket, I’ve decided I might as well get something for paying this much (besides straight, gapless teeth, that is) and whenever I forget the credit card I prefer using, Christi always lets me call in the payment. Sure, I could use another card, but I might as well get airline miles, right?
I know I’m paying more than I would have elsewhere and I know I’m paying more because I wanted ceramic on top, but I don’t regret anything. I’ve had a relatively painless experience, I’m already smiling ALL THE TIME and time is flying by. The office definitely seems as though its geared toward children, but I know Dr. Seder has a good number of adult clients as well. Unless something goes drastically wrong (which, I don’t know how that’d be possible since my teeth weren’t jacked, they only had a gap), I’ll update again… but a year into braces and I’m almost there!

My two teens have been with Dr. Seder for years and are still going for check ups. Throughout this time she has developed a great relationship with both of them, and treats us all with respect. My third will definitely have to have braces in the near future and I won’t hesitate to go to Seder Orthodontics again.

I was referred to Dr. Seder from another dentist to complete my dental (Ortho) work. I am already in braces, so I just needed to have someone complete the work, so I was excited to start working towards that goal here. I like the office, as it was really children friendly. I also found that the staff here was very friendly and helpful overall.
My experience was OK. My appointment was about 15 – 20 minutes late due to the doctor about to go out of town, which was not a big deal. The found the doctor very smart and impressive. She explains her recommendations well and even changed out my chain for me. I was happy.
However, due to the price, I was not able to start at Seder. Overall, I was able to finish treatment at my first Ortho dentist (including flights) for less. I also felt that the office was unwilling to work with me on what I would like to see done with my case.
If I had kids and the insurance accepted treatment from Seder, I would look into Seder again. It appears she focus her practice on children Ortho care. However, this place was just not the place for me.

Well Dr. Carrara (who did my root canal) refereed me to Dr. Seder and I am so glad I listened to Dr. Carrara. I made an appointment for a consultation, and then show up 1 day earlier without realizing it… doh…but Dr. Seder was able to squeeze me in to let me know what needed to be done with my current teeth situation. I followed through and had braces put on. It has been the best thing I have ever done. My teeth are looking great due to Dr. Seder skill. I cannot thank her enough.
It does seem like Dr. Seder office does cater to children and young adults, but I find the cartoons and children movie playing on the monitors rather refreshing.
Dr. Seder and her staff are very kind, friendly, and really know how to put that nervous feeling in the back of your mind at ease. I did not think i would ever look forward to an office visit but i do. Dr. Seder and her staff make me want to see them. Strange coming from the guy who does not like dentists and doctors in general. All in all I am a extremely satisfied.

If you’re an adult contemplating braces, or a parent searching for your child, I don’t think you’ll find a better place.
I was referred to Dr. Seder by my dentist, who couldn’t help with an orthodontic «relapse.» I had braces in my 20s, supplemented by complicated maxillofacial surgery. Headgear at 27? I went through a LOT for perfect teeth, and still use retainers (I’m now 50). So — an out of line tooth in the front, minor as it may be, was simply intolerable.
The office is cool and techy, and appeals greatly I imagine to the traditional teenager. The staff is really friendly and, based on my visits, very very capable. While I was anticipating something lengthy and possibly expensive, Dr. Seder modified my retainer a few times to get my tooth back in alignment. Although this was a tiny little job for her, I was treated with the same degree of professionalism and concern that a much greater needs client would have warranted. I couldn’t be more satisfied.

I found Dr Seder through my dentist Dr Phil. (Not the Dr Phil who makes you feel like you are getting your teeth drilled every time you watch…)
Dr Seder has been really great. I have had some experience with Orthodontics in the past; braces about 15 years ago and invisible braces about 10. Unfortunately my past to orthodontists never formulated a long-​term plan for retention, so my teeth keep shifting. When I walked into Dr Seder’s office I laid it all on the line and told her I really didn’t want to go through this all over again in another 5 – 10 years. Enough is enough, right?! So she assured me that I would be able to fix my teeth with Invisalign (so I didn’t have to go through actual braces again) and that she would make sure I had a long term solution to my problems.
I have had a few little hiccups along the way, none of which were Dr Seder’s doing. She rolls with the punches and has accommodated me in every way. I have now been out of my «braces» for about 4 months and am really happy with the results. I have confidence in knowing that if anything starts to shift (which I doubt it will) all I have to do is call and she will make it right again.

Dr. Seder was recommended by a co-​worker with a child requiring orthodontics — she specializes in pediatric care. Her office is a bit unusual in many respects. It is conveniently located on Lincoln Ave in LP and is underground from a salon. While the entrance and stairs are non-​descript, once you pass thru a grey security door the office is quite modern and stimulating — again due to the high traffic in kids. I agree with others’ kudos for Dr. Seder herself and her staff. She admittedly could have put me in an expensive set of braces, but sold me a cool reasonably priced retainer instead. And all within 7 days! Highly recommended for big and little people!

Dr. Seder is excellent. She was my «second opinion» ortho, the first told me I needed braces on my bottom teeth for 9 months and $ 3k. Dr. Karen Seder adjusted my old retainer and checked up on me twice for $ 75 only. My teeth are awesomely straight now and I have been recommending Dr. Seder to EVERYONE!

I’m just coming to the end of a long stint in braces (I also had oral surgery), and I couldn’t be happier about the care and attention I received throughout from Dr. Seder and her staff – Elizabeth, the office manager, Mandy, Amy and the rest of the gang.
I found everybody very efficient, accommodating – for example, if you have to re-​schedule etc. – but also super friendly, encouraging, and relaxed. There’s a feeling that everyone gets along very well – echoed in the open plan of the entire reception area, waiting room, etc. They’ve put real effort into decorating; all the DVD bells and whistles, also droll vintage advertisements and photos. Dr. Seder is scrupulous about each and every stage of the braces, but she always remembers to ask how the rest of your life is going (–which I found gratifying, because sometimes I felt as if my braces were taking up way too much room in my life!)

i went here to get a consulation for braces. i sat on the dental chair for about 30 – 40 mins waiting for dr. karen seder to meet with me. i was originally on time for the appointment. i received no apology for her tardiness or for my having to wait. i don’t recall her even calling me by my name. she looked at my chart for the 3 mins she was in front of me telling me what her procedure would be, which would be pretty basic. i asked her one question to which she replied by telling me that her assistant could answer that question. needless to say, i did not proceed to give this person my business. she may be an expert, but i am a person. her assistant was very friendly and professional and i felt badly that she was the one apologizing to me. it was not her fault.

Dr. Karen Seder and her staff were excellent in my experience. I came to her office after first having braces put on by Webster Dental Care in Lincoln Park. The difference between the two offices was night and day. Her staff worked quickly to help get me in and out and they work with all state-​of-​the-​art equipment. They even have flat screen tvs in the waiting room and service area for patients to watch movies while you wait. Plus there’s video games for kids to play in the waiting room, as well. Her schedule is very flexible for booking and works really well adult patients for night and some weekend appointments. Also, if I had to go on a business trip and my rubber bands were becoming heavily stained from use, she would always make room for an emergency appointment to have the bands replaced so my smile would attract less attention. Overall, a great experience.
