Meet Michael Klein, DDS
Over the past 30 years in the field, I feel incredibly fortunate to have the great responsibility of helping people improve their lives.
I’m in a “people business" — the primary purpose of my work is to make people feel good about themselves. I chose orthodontics to reflect this purpose. I remain dedicated to providing the best care possible using the newest technology that has proven to perform up to my high standards.
Education & Continued Education
I attended Blue Valley High School before attending Pittsburg State University for my undergraduate work. I then attended the University of Missouri Kansas City (UMKC) School of Dentistry for my Doctorate of Dental Surgery.
I completed my formal education at UMKC School of Dentistry, where I received my Orthodontic Certificate. Since then, I have participated in over 50 hours of continuing education every year. Recently, I have returned to the UMKC Orthodontic Department as a clinical instructor to orthodontic residents.
Meet Cameron Walker, DDS, MS, PhD
Dr. Cameron Walker loves making people smile, so it’s only natural that he pursued a career in orthodontics. From cracking a joke to applying your braces, Dr. Walker will make your smile transformation enjoyable in every aspect.

Dr. Walker received his baccalaureate degree in neuroscience from Brigham Young University. Afterward, he attended the University of Illinois at Chicago, where he received his Doctorate of Dental Surgery and was awarded a Doctorate of Philosophy in Oral Sciences.
Dr. Walker then attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where he received his orthodontic specialty certificate and was awarded a Master of Science in Oral Biology for his 3-dimensional cone beam computed tomography research.

Benefits of Orthodontics Across All Ages
Orthodontic treatment offers numerous benefits, whether you're a child, a teen, or an adult. Here’s how our treatments can help achieve a healthier, more confident smile for patients of all ages:
Orthodontics for Children
Starting orthodontic treatment early can guide the growth and development of a child’s jaw and teeth, preventing more severe issues down the road. Early intervention can address problems such as crowding, spacing, and bite issues before they become more complicated. By beginning treatment at a young age, we can ensure that children have a strong foundation for a lifetime of healthy, aligned teeth. Our team works closely with parents to monitor dental development and intervene at the right time to achieve the best results.
Orthodontics for Teens
The teenage years are an ideal time for orthodontic treatment, as the jaw and teeth are still developing. At our Olathe practice, we understand the busy lifestyles of teenagers and offer flexible treatment options to fit their schedules. Whether participating in sports, band, or other extracurricular activities, our treatments, including traditional braces and clear aligners, can be adapted to meet the needs of active teens. Achieving a straight smile during these formative years can boost confidence and self-esteem, providing long-lasting benefits. Our team provides guidance and support to help teens manage their orthodontic care alongside their daily activities.
Orthodontics for Adults
It's never too late to achieve the smile you deserve. Orthodontic treatment for adults can correct long-standing dental issues, improve oral health, and enhance overall appearance. We offer discreet treatment options such as clear aligners and ceramic braces, allowing adults to straighten their teeth without the noticeable appearance of traditional braces. Investing in your smile can boost your confidence both personally and professionally, making it a worthwhile endeavor at any age. Our team is dedicated to providing effective and aesthetically pleasing solutions for adult patients.
