"This was by far the most thorough, informative, and in-depth consultation I’ve ever experienced! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, making me feel completely at ease. Dr. Ravi was not only highly knowledgeable but also genuinely honest and kind. I was so impressed with the entire experience that I decided to get my braces the same day!"

"Very friendly staff, great at communicating to both parents and kids what’s happening and why. Also very accommodating when it comes to families with busy schedules."
- ASHLEIGH
"I had a great experience with Lakewood Orthodontics! They explained everything in a way that I was able to understand and they helped me feel welcome, which calmed any nerves I had. I got my braces done by Hanna and she helped me feel comfortable. They’re very easy to work with. I got a consult done the first day and was able to get my braces the next day. To anyone looking for an orthodontist, I recommend this place!"

Meet Dr. Ravi Rajanna
I was inspired to become an orthodontist after my own positive experience with braces. As a teenager with crooked teeth I was embarrassed to smile, which affected my mood, confidence and the personality I projected. Enhancing my smile with braces gave me more confidence and allowed me to be the person I wanted to be.
Having experienced the transformative effects of orthodontics myself, practicing as an orthodontist is especially gratifying for me…practicing in my home town of Kansas City makes it that much more special.
