Hannah Orthodontics treats Shawnee families from our Quivira Road office - 1.7 miles from Shawnee Mission Northwest and inside Shawnee’s 66216 ZIP. We provide braces, ceramic braces and clear aligners for children, teens and adults. First exam is free.
If you are looking for an orthodontist in Shawnee, the first thing worth figuring out is what you are actually choosing.
A general dentist may legally offer braces and aligners. An orthodontist has completed a two-to-three-year full-time residency in tooth movement and facial growth after dental school, and treats nothing else.
Dr. Richard Hannah and Dr. Gretter Hannah are orthodontic specialists. At our Quivira Road office, an orthodontist plans your treatment and an orthodontist adjusts it - at every appointment, not just the first one. That is not true everywhere, and it is a fair question to ask any practice you are considering.
• Two board-certified orthodontists, Dr. Richard and Dr. Gretter Hannah
• Family-owned since 1959
• No-interest in-house payment plans from $100 a month
• Free consultations, often available the same day
We are a Shawnee office in everything but the postal address. Our building sits in the 66216 ZIP on Quivira Road, and Shawnee Mission Northwest is 1.7 miles away - we sponsor its boys basketball and football programs, and a number of those students are our patients.
Specialists, not a rotation. You see the same orthodontist through your treatment.
Family-owned since 1959. Not part of a dental group, not a franchise. The people who own this practice are the people who treat you, and they answer for the result.
Straight talk about cost. Every smile is different, so we give you your exact cost at your free first visit, before you decide anything. We quote your real case at the free exam, and our payment plans are our own - no third-party lender.
Dr. Richard Hannah is a board-certified orthodontist and Kansas native who grew up watching his grandfather, Dr. Radke, care for patients at the practice he founded in 1959. After earning his dental degree from UMKC and practicing general dentistry in Montana, he completed his orthodontic residency and Master of Science in Dentistry at Indiana University. He joined Hannah Orthodontics in 2015 and treats patients of all ages across all five offices. Outside the practice, he enjoys hunting, fishing and time outdoors with his wife, Dr. Gretter Hannah, and their three children.
Dr. Gretter Hannah is a board-certified orthodontist who was born in Cuba and moved to the United States at age eight. She earned her dental degree from Howard University and completed her orthodontic residency at Indiana University, receiving a Certificate of Orthodontics and a Master of Science in Dentistry. She treats children, teens and adults across all five Hannah Orthodontics offices, and loves seeing patients gain the confidence to smile freely. She and her husband, Dr. Richard Hannah, have three children and enjoy traveling and spending time outdoors.
Your first exam is free - no cost, no obligation.
If you go ahead:
From a child’s first check-up to straighter teeth in adulthood, our board-certified orthodontists offer treatment for every age and stage across five Kansas offices.
Time-tested braces that move teeth precisely and predictably, with options to suit your smile, your schedule and your budget.
Nearly invisible, removable aligners that straighten teeth without brackets or wires, planned and monitored by an orthodontic specialist.
Digital scans replace messy impressions, giving us an accurate 3D view of your teeth and a clearer treatment plan from day one.
A check-up by age 7 lets us spot developing bite and jaw problems early, when they’re often simpler to correct.
Braces or clear aligners designed around busy teen lives, so they can keep up with school, sports and friends with confidence.
It’s never too late for a healthier, straighter smile. Discreet options fit easily into work and everyday life.

An orthodontist completes a two-to-three-year residency in tooth movement and facial growth after dental school and treats nothing else. A general dentist may offer braces or aligners without that training.
Around age 7. Most children need no treatment then - the value is spotting a developing bite problem while it is still simple to correct. More on early treatment →
No. Most patients book directly.
Usually about a year to two and a half years, depending on how far the teeth need to move. You will get an estimate for your case at the free exam.
No cost, no obligation. You will leave knowing what treatment you need, how long it takes and what it costs.
