“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” as stated by Dr. Rajanna.
A Kansas City native, he obtained his bachelor’s degree in Biology and Chemistry from the University of Missouri at Kansas City. He then went on to earn his Doctor of Medicine in Dentistry (DMD) degree from the Boston University School of Dental Medicine, after which he completed his Certificate in Orthodontic & Dentofacial Orthopedics and his Master of Science in Dentistry (MSD) degree from the Colorado University School of Dental Medicine.
To stay on the cutting edge of the profession, Dr. Rajanna regularly attends continuing education courses, both within the orthodontic specialty and in other dental disciplines. He is also active in a number of professional societies including: the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, the Missouri Dental Association, the Midwestern Society of Orthodontists, the Eastern Jackson County Dental Group, and the Greater Kansas City Dental Society.
