Hannah Orthodontics is proud of its rich history. In 1959, Dr. Dick Radke, founded the practice in Overland Park, Kansas. Dr. Radke is 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. Dr. Radke’s commitment to an excellent patient experience, however, 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 principals as a guide. They relied on an experienced staff, 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 to work alongside his uncle in the practice his grandfather founded. Dr. Joe Hannah and Dr. Richard Hannah are proud to continue the practice with original "offices" established by Dr. Radke in Olathe, Lenexa/Shawnee and Emporia. Additional locations in Louisburg and Kansas City have been opened to serve more patients in the surrounding communities. Hannah Orthodontics is proud to carry the tradition, values and experience forward.
