When Hawley Orthodontics first opened in Papillion, Dr. Hawley and Dr. Torres wanted to build something that felt like home, where kindness and care set the tone for everything that followed. Over the years, that simple idea has turned into something special, shared by families across the Omaha area who’ve grown up smiling alongside the team. Being named “Best of Omaha 2026” feels like a celebration of those connections as much as the care itself! Next, let’s take a closer look at what this recognition means to the people behind every smile and high-five.
