Why We Love the Sedalia Community
Sedalia, MO, holds a distinct honor in the United States: it's the largest US city named Sedalia! While it may have a common name, the thriving community in Sedalia is anything but common, and we feel truly blessed to help Sedalia residents achieve beautiful new smiles.
The official record to found the city of Sedalia was submitted by General George Rappeen Smith in 1857, although he originally called the town Sedville. In 1860, the city was officially incorporated as Sedalia — and local lore has it that the name change occurred because "towns that end in -ville don't amount to anything."
Sedalia grew quickly in its early years, attracting a thriving economy due to a growing number of merchants and businessmen, and it's now grown into a vibrant community in the heartland of Missouri.

Sedalia Braces
Braces are a great option for correcting complex tooth issues in Sedalia. Due to their effectiveness at aligning teeth and closing gaps, they can sometimes work faster than other treatments, which can reduce overall treatment time.
Braces don't require expensive equipment or complex technology, making them a cost-effective orthodontic option for patients in Sedalia.
Traditional braces are one of the most efficient orthodontic tools available. They consist of metal or ceramic brackets affixed to the teeth, connected by wires and tiny rubber bands or ties.
These brackets, wires, and bands work together to apply gentle pressure that gradually moves teeth into the desired positions. Regular adjustments with Dr. Kavanaugh are necessary for the best results.
Sedalia Invisalign
Clear aligners, such as Invisalign, are becoming increasingly popular among patients and orthodontists in Sedalia as a top alternative to traditional braces. Rather than relying on brackets and bands, these invisible aligners gradually straighten teeth. At Kurt Kavanaugh Orthodontics,
we use a comfortable plastic material to create customized aligners that fit snugly over your teeth. It's important to follow our guidelines closely and switch to the next aligner in the series every two to three weeks to keep your teeth moving in the right direction.
For optimal results, patients should wear their aligners for 20 – 22 hours per day throughout treatment. Failure to do so can impede progress and prolong the orthodontic process.
While Invisalign is highly effective in treating many common orthodontic issues, it may not be the best option for complex cases. We offer free consultations at our Sedalia office to determine whether Invisalign is right for you.
