Your Papillion Orthodontist
Meet Dr. Lyndzie Brace
At Hawley Orthodontics, Dr. Brace dedicates herself to creating radiant smiles that cater to your unique needs.
Her goal is to provide high-quality, innovative orthodontic care to the community with genuine passion and warmth. She looks forward to building lasting relationships with her patients and their families.
Background
Papillion orthodontist, coffee connoisseur, and outdoor enthusiast, Dr. Brace was born in South Bend, Indiana, and then she moved to Sedalia, Missouri in the third grade.
She attended a small high school where she had the unique opportunity to participate in a wide range of extracurriculars, including volleyball, softball, cheerleading, soccer, and math team.
Dr. Brace then went to the University of Missouri (Go Mizzou Tigers!) in Columbia, earning a Bachelor of Science in Biology and Psychology.
Education & Experience
Dr. Brace received her Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree at the University of Missouri-Kansas City School of Dentistry. While there, she was inducted into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society, Rho Chapter, and was selected to the Orthodontic Honors Program.
Next, Dr. Brace headed to the University of Nebraska Medical Center College of Dentistry, where she received her Certificate in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics and a Master of Science in Oral Biology.
During her specialty training, she also conducted research on the biomechanics of a tip-back bend archwire.
Outside of the Office
When Dr. Brace isn’t transforming smiles, she can be found with her husband, Derek, and their spoiled, smart, very active four-year-old black lab-border collie mix, Mac.
Dr. Brace and Derek love being outdoors, staying active, traveling, and trying new recipes (their most recent was homemade ravioli). Dr. Brace also values spending quality time with her family, friends, and loved ones, including her dad and stepmom, younger brother, two stepsisters, nieces, and nephews.
