When you think about an orthodontic office, your first thought probably isn’t about local events or school sponsorships, but at Moon Orthodontics, it kind of should be. Dr. Moon and the team don’t just serve Overland Park and Olathe with top-notch orthodontic care, they genuinely show up for the community in meaningful ways. From cheering on students to participating in professional leadership, their roots run deep here.
You might not always see it, but that level of community involvement makes a difference. If you’re looking for an orthodontic practice that cares about the place you call home, you’ll probably appreciate what Dr. Moon’s been up to behind the scenes.
Professional Leadership That Impacts Kansas Orthodontics
Dr. Moon serves his patients and helps guide the orthodontic community in Kansas.
President of the Kansas Association of Orthodontists
In 2016, Dr. Moon served as the President of the Kansas Association of Orthodontists. That role meant he wasn’t just focused on his own office—he helped shape standards, advocate for patients, and elevate care throughout the state.
Kansas Delegate to the American Association of Orthodontists House of Delegates (2018–Present)
Since 2018, Dr. Moon has represented Kansas as a delegate to the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) House of Delegates. In this capacity, he participates in shaping policies and decisions that impact the practice of orthodontics nationwide.
Executive Committee Member of the Southwestern Society of Orthodontists (2019–2023)
Between 2019 and 2023, Dr. Moon played a pivotal role on the Executive Committee of the Southwestern Society of Orthodontists (SWSO). In this capacity, he contributed to shaping the organization’s strategic direction and supporting its mission to promote excellence in orthodontics.
President of the Southwestern Society of Orthodontists (2022–2023)
Serving as President of the SWSO from 2022 to 2023, Dr. Moon led initiatives with a mission to enhance collaboration among orthodontic professionals and advance educational programs within the society. His leadership was instrumental in guiding the organization through a period of growth and innovation.
Commitment to Continuing Education
Dr. Moon also participates in ongoing education and professional development, which keeps him connected to broader conversations in healthcare. He strives to bring the best back to Overland Park and Olathe, where it matters most to the families he serves.
A Local Office That Feels Like Family
If you’ve been in the office, you’ve probably felt it: there’s something different about how Moon Orthodontics runs. It’s warm. It’s friendly. And yes, it’s deeply local.
Dr. Moon and his wife, Beverly, are raising their three daughters right here in Overland Park. They live here, shop here, and eat here. They’re showing up to school concerts and weekend sports just like the families they care for. That kind of connection changes how an orthodontic office feels.
When a doctor is invested in the community, it reflects in every interaction, from how your treatment plan is explained to how the front desk staff greets you. There’s no “big corporate feel” here. It’s real and personal care because you’re neighbors and not just patients.
Our Team Supports Wellness Beyond Braces
Orthodontic care is one piece of the puzzle, but the Moon Orthodontics team understands that health is bigger than what happens in the chair. That’s why they also support wellness-centered causes and education efforts that extend into the broader Overland Park and Olathe areas.
- Promoting oral health wherever we can
- Sharing helpful resources on their blog and social media, making oral care more accessible for everyone (not just patients!)
- Our team shows up in ways that align with what local families need, and not just what’s in the textbook.
One More Thing That Makes a Difference
Here’s something that doesn’t always get talked about, but it should: Moon Orthodontics celebrates its patients publicly.
If your child gets their braces off? You might see their “after” smile proudly (and with permission) featured on the office’s Facebook. Moon Orthodontics highlights milestones like debonding days, school accomplishments, and even birthdays sometimes. These moments matter, especially to kids and teens who could use a little boost in confidence.
That extra layer of encouragement and visibility creates a real connection. In a world where everything can feel fast-paced or impersonal, this kind of positivity sticks.
A Practice That’s Genuinely Part of the Community
Finding the right orthodontist is partly about the services they offer, but also heavy on who they are. Dr. Moon and the team at Moon Orthodontics aren’t just here to straighten teeth. The team is also here to support families, build lasting connections, and keep showing up for Overland Park and Olathe in ways that are big and small.
If you’re looking for orthodontic care that comes with community commitment mixed in, we are here to help. You can schedule a consultation at Moon Orthodontics and know you’re stepping into a practice that’s already a familiar face in your town. Reach out today and set up your first appointment.
