The Story of Lincoln Orthodontics

Since 1995, Harre Orthodontics–now Lincoln Orthodontics–has been the go-to destination for beautiful smiles here in the heart of Nebraska. From the start, we’ve strived to provide top-notch care, invest in cutting-edge technology, and develop a close-knit, family-like team culture. But most of all, we want our patients to feel like they are a part of the Lincoln Orthodontics family. We can’t take all the credit for these values, as we learned from the best.

The Dream Team

The journey of Lincoln Orthodontics began when Dr. Emily Willett joined Harre Orthodontics on January 1, 2017. Dr. Harre had decades of experience and a strong community reputation, and Dr. Willett brought fresh energy and a shared commitment to excellence in patient care. The two instantly clicked – both professionally and philosophically – bonded by their dedication to doing what’s right for patients every time.

Dr. Harre had been seeking a successor for her practice for several years and handpicked Dr. Willett to carry on her legacy. The transition was seamless, and Dr. Harre continued to support the practice – even coming out of retirement twice to cover for Dr. Willett during maternity leave! Dr. Harre remains a close mentor and friend to Dr. Willett, still active in the community and inspiring others through her volunteer roles.

Following Dr. Harre’s example, Dr. Willett also became a clinical instructor at the UNMC College of Dentistry, passing on her passion for giving back to the next generation of dental professionals. Together, they’ve created a practice where patients feel like family, and Dr. Willett is proud to continue Dr. Harre’s tradition of compassionate, expert care at Lincoln Orthodontics.

Cutting-Edge Technology Meets Care

Part of providing the best care means staying ahead of the curve with the latest technologies. With our orthodontic treatments, this looks like 3D imaging, 3D scanning, and even 3D printing. The new technologies help make treatments faster, more precise, and way more comfortable for patients. These advancements allow Dr. Willett and our team to consider all aspects of an individual patient’s needs, plan treatments accurately, and reduce the number of required visits for patients.

Let’s not forget about our options of services that help make treatments a breeze: Invisalign, InBrace, Clear Ceramic Braces, and so much more. These personalized care plans are all designed with comfort and flexibility in mind. Whether you want a quicker treatment, a more discreet option, or simply the best fit for your needs, we’ve got you covered.

We’ve also made staying in touch with our office super simple with features like offering virtual visits and online scheduling, so you can manage appointments and get updates without any hassle.

Building Community Trust

When Dr. Willett first moved to Lincoln, building trust within the community was key! Through hard work and a personal touch, she quickly earned the confidence of local families, dental professionals, and patients. Dr. Willett’s goal was simple: to create an orthodontic practice that felt like home.

Patients value our cutting-edge care, and the warm, welcoming environment Dr. Willett has continued to cultivate and grow. Over time, her commitment to building relationships has created a strong foundation of trust that continues to support our Lincoln Orthodontics family.

A Team that Feels Like Family

Since the start, Dr. Willett has made sure everyone on our team feels valued and appreciated. This positivity and sense of community is also reflected in the way we care for our patients. When you walk through our doors, you are walking into an office where everyone truly cares about one another and about you!

It’s no accident that patients often mention our team’s cheerful nature. From sitting in your waiting room chair to walking out our doors with a smile, we want you to feel that you’re part of something special.

Looking Ahead

As we continue to grow and evolve, one thing remains unchanged: our commitment to providing exceptional care. Dr. Willett and our team are always exploring new ways to improve treatments, streamline processes, and offer even more convenient options for patients– all while staying true to our roots of personalized, patient-focused care.

While there are endless possibilities for the future, our focus will continue to be on innovation– not only in the technology we use but the relationships we build as well. By embracing new tools and techniques, we can provide high-quality, efficient care while also keeping things sustainable and eco-friendly. It’s all about offering the best of both worlds: top-notch care and a positive impact on the planet.

As Dr. Willett likes to say, “We’re about going big and smiling bigger.” That’s exactly what we do: make sure every patient leaves not only with a gorgeous smile on their face but also with happiness and confidence to match.
