Your Kansas City & Liberty Orthodontist
Meet Dr. Jereme Sebastian
For as long as I can remember, I’ve wanted to be an orthodontist. I love getting to know my patients, hearing their stories, and learning why they want treatment.
But my favorite part? Definitely seeing their reaction when we reveal the final result—a healthy, confident, beautiful new smile.
I’m excited to join Kanning Orthodontics and help spread healthy, straighter smiles in Kansas City, Liberty, and the surrounding communities.
Education
I attended Missouri State in Springfield for my bachelor's degree, where I graduated Summa Cum Laude.
For dental school, I attended the University of Missouri-Kansas City, and I went to the University of Colorado for my orthodontic residency.
Why Orthodontics?
Orthodontist is the first profession I can remember wanting to pursue. It’s kind of a funny story: I was actually a horrible orthodontic patient when I was young, so my treatment was years longer than it should’ve been.
However, over the course of my long treatment, I developed a strong relationship with my orthodontist and became more interested in the treatment I was going through. I even started shadowing my orthodontist while I was in high school and loved the patient interactions and science behind what I was seeing.
I love the challenge and problem-solving aspect of orthodontics, and my favorite type of case to work on is a canine impaction case. The difficulty of the case makes it all the more satisfying when a good result is achieved.
When I was a GP, I had many shared patients with Dr. Kanning, and I always heard and saw great things going on in his practice. I’m excited to work with an experienced team in a well-run, modern office, and I look forward to collaborating with Dr. Kanning.
Outside of the Office
Away from work, my favorite things are cooking BBQ, playing and/or watching any sport, working out, and chasing my two-year-old around. My wife and I are expecting our second little girl in August!
My favorite sports team is the Chiefs and all things Kansas City (except I grew up a Cardinals fan instead of a Royals one). My wife and I are obsessed with the Peanut wings, and I'm a BBQ lover.
