PRESS RELEASE | Hudson, WI | 9.3.25

Dr. Karen Reese, DDS, MS, joined the Kristo and Elevate Orthodontics teams and provides specialized orthodontic treatments, including braces and Invisalign® clear aligners, for people of all ages in the St. Croix Valley and the surrounding communities.

Starting in orthodontics after a fulfilling career as a pharmacist, her journey in dentistry spans over two decades. During that time, she witnessed the exciting evolution of the field, driven by her genuine passion for continuous learning. Committed to education and innovation, she introduced several firsts in Minnesota, from self-ligating brackets to the Herbst appliance for growth modification.

“The most fulfilling part of my job is building positive relationships with my patients and helping them transform their smiles into ones they can be proud of. There is nothing that compares to the joy that radiates from a patient when they see their new smile for the first time.”

Beyond the clinic, she finds joy in engaging with various dental groups and organizations. This involvement not only keeps her connected with the pulse of orthodontic technology and innovation but also fuels her passion for staying on the cutting edge of advancements in our field. 

Dr. Reese is welcoming new patients at the Amery office of Kristo Orthodontics and at Elevate Orthodontics in Hudson.
