DR. KANNING’S LIFE STORY
Neil Kanning grew up in rural Lawson, Missouri, but his adventures and education have taken him around the world. While in high school, his life’s ambition was to be a lift chair operator at a Colorado ski resort, but (thankfully) his parents insisted he go to college first. So he attended William Jewell College in Liberty where he earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Public Relations. More importantly, it is where he met his future wife, Jennifer.
Following college, the mountains were still calling, so he packed up his car and moved to Steamboat Springs, Colorado, to teach ski lessons. He and his wife Jennifer spent their first year of marriage skiing and camping in Steamboat. It was at some point during his second winter in Colorado that he realized he had already met and exceeded his life goals (instructors do outrank lift chair operators!) and life had more to offer, so he returned to school to get his dental degree.
Dr. Kanning loves living in Liberty Missouri and running an orthodontic practice. He loves KC sports and everything KC, but above everything he loves his family. His wife Jennifer and three beautiful children Jake, Isabelle and William put up with him most days.
Orthodontist vs. Dentist: Key Differences
Orthodontists like Dr. Kanning undergo additional training to specialize in diagnosing and treating dental and facial irregularities. This specialized training allows them to offer more effective and comprehensive treatments for aligning teeth and correcting bites compared to general dentists.
The Benefits of Orthodontic Treatment
Orthodontic treatment offers numerous benefits beyond a beautiful smile. Physically, it improves oral health by making it easier to clean teeth and gums, reducing the risk of cavities and gum disease. Mentally, a straight smile boosts self-confidence and self-esteem. Socially and professionally, a confident smile enhances interactions and can make positive impressions.
