Meet the Team


Kim
Assistant/ TC

I joined the orthodontic field 20 years ago and still love every part of my job! I love working with Dr. Seder and helping create those beautiful smiles! Our patients' faces say it all on their removal day! I’m fortunate to work in a field that changes people’s lives, one smile at a time.
I enjoy spending my free time with my three adult children, daughter-in-law, two grandchildren, and my Havanese dog named Ricky Ricard-staffo. I also love volunteering, helping my daughter with fostering children, and traveling.
Alix
Orthodontic Assistant

I have been in the orthodontic field for 18 years. I love seeing our patients after they finish their orthodontic treatment with a healthy smile and great confidence.
Outside of work, I belong to a non-profit organization where we do fundraisers to help a school in my home country of Colombia. My husband Kevin and I love to explore Chicago and all it has to offer. When we can, we like to get away to Cancun!
Natacha
Front Desk/Insurance Coordinator

I have seven years of experience in orthodontics. I enjoy meeting new people every day and helping our patients receive all the insurance benefits they are entitled to. Seeing their smiles once treatment is over is the best!
I have two children and one more on the way! I love to sing and bake, and am an avid Cubs fan!
Maria
Orthodontic Assistant

I have worked in orthodontics since 2009. I love seeing how braces boost our patients’ self-esteem. The smile that comes across their face once treatment is over is something I look forward to seeing every day!
I have two children Amiah and Bre, a loving husband, and a turtle named Dart. I enjoy going to church, reading, dancing, spending time with my family and friends, and going on trips. Anything fun and entertaining—count me in!
Nicholas
Orthodontic Assistant

I have been working in the dental field for six years, happily improving patients’ smiles! I enjoy working with each individual and seeing how orthodontics positively affects their life.
I recently moved to Chicago to live with my boyfriend. We enjoy hiking, being outdoors, and going kayaking.
Ashley
Orthodontic Assistant

My name is Ashley. I enjoy working in orthodontics because I love watching our patients confidence skyrocket. The expression they give when they notice their teeth movement and final results is priceless.
When I’m not at work, I love spending time with my baby boy, exploring nature, and making lasting memories.
Aida
Orthodontic Assistant

I am from Colombia, and I have worked in the field of dentistry for more than 25 years. I love working with Dr. Seder and her wonderful team. It gives me great satisfaction when patients leave with a beautiful smile after completing their treatments.
I enjoy my free time with my husband and my son. I love exercising, reading, and traveling the world.
Karolina
Front Desk

I am fairly new to the field of orthodontics, but I have enjoyed the journey so far. Working alongside Dr. Seder and the team is the best part of the journey! I love seeing people’s smiles transform and their confidence go up at the end of their orthodontic treatment.
I enjoy spending my free time traveling, being with friends and family, volunteering at PAWS, and watching Criminal Minds.
