Hannah Orthodontics is proud to be part of a 60-plus-year practice tradition of creating confidence with every smile!
Drs. Richard and Gretter Hannah are Board Certified orthodontists by the American Board of Orthodontists, a distinction earned by less than 50% of all orthodontists.
Customer service has been a driving force in the success of our practice since it was founded. On-time appointments, flexible hours and easy financing, no-fee consultations (x-rays and records included), and friendly and committed staff help create an environment that our patients love.
Our History
Hannah Orthodontics is proud of its rich history. In 1959, Dr. Dick Radke founded the practice in Overland Park, Kansas. Dr. Radke was a pioneer in orthodontics, envisioning many of the changes the industry has come to know.
He was the first orthodontist in the Midwest to open a second location, to have an in-house lab, and to offer a speech therapist on staff to treat our patients. However, Dr. Radke’s commitment to an excellent patient experience is what truly set him apart. Many of these principles still guide our practice today, more than 50 years later.
In 1986, Dr. Joe Hannah joined Dr. Radke and formed Radke and Hannah Orthodontics. They practiced together in Johnson County, Emporia, Leavenworth, and Atchison until Dr. Radke’s retirement in 1994.
Their practice continued to explore new technology with tried and true principles as a guide. They relied on an experienced staff and diverse locations and enjoyed the mix of many new families to treat, along with many second and third-generation patients.
In July 2015, Dr. Richard Hannah joined Hannah Orthodontics. He was eager to realize his long-term goal of working alongside his uncle in the practice his grandfather founded. Dr. Gretter Hannah joined Hannah Orthodontics in 2021. Dr. Richard and Dr. Gretter are proud to continue the practice with the original offices established by Dr. Radke in Olathe, Lenexa/Shawnee, and Emporia. Hannah Orthodontics also has offices in Louisburg and Kansas City, KS. We are proud to carry on the tradition, values, and experience.
Community Giving
The Hannah Orthodontics staff understands the importance of giving back to the communities we serve. We support many charitable organizations, including schools, sports teams, churches, 4-H, and other organizations that are important to our patients. This is just our way of saying thank you for choosing our practice.
