Reese Orthodontics is a family-owned practice serving the west suburbs of Minneapolis for over fifty years. What sets us apart is our deep and lasting relationships. Karen Reese, DDS, MS, is an orthodontic specialist who continues to serve our family of patients that have long trusted Reese Orthodontics with their dental needs. Dr. Reese is a specialist in orthodontics who goes the distance for all her patients in both practice locations in Chanhassen and New Hope, Minnesota.
Her original degree was a Bachelor of Science in Pharmacy. She worked as a pharmacist full time for five years before pursuing her dental degree. Immediately following dental school, Dr. Reese was accepted to the orthodontic residency at the University of Minnesota. She completed her specialty certification in 1998 and her Masters Degree in Dentistry in 1999.
Committed to education, Dr. Reese continues her studies in innovations in her field. Because of her focus on innovation, her practice has been one of many firsts. We were the first office in the state of Minnesota to offer self-ligating brackets, the first to offer the Herbst appliance for growth modification, the first office to offer lingual (behind the teeth) braces, first to provide combined orthodontics with Wilckodontic therapy providing fast yet stable tooth movement.
Dr. Reese has been affiliated with many awards and honors over the years. She has been named to the Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine Hall of Fame, for being named the best orthodontist more than five times. Over the years, she has participated in many organizations and study groups including the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association and the prestigious invitation-only Crown Council.

Dr. Reese did my sons braces 12 years ago. I never believed she could make his teeth so perfect. After he got his braces off he was voted best smile at his school! They are still perfect, so when it came time to get my own teeth done she was an easy choice. Dr. Reese has quite the vision, part artist really. After 13 months my teeth are beautiful! Not only is she talented at what she does, she is a kind , fun, funny and lovely person. Her staff is very accommodating so scheduling was easy. Thank you Dr. Reese for giving me a beautiful smile again, I'm grateful! Lisa Swan
