Pershing Orthodontics

Pershing Orthodontics is a multi-generational, family-owned orthodontic practice with a rich history dating back to 1956. Originally established by Dr. Robert Butz, the practice has been carried on and expanded by his family, with Dr. John Pershing joining in 1978 and his son, Dr. Matthew J. Pershing, joining in 2005. This continuity and tradition of excellence are central to the clinic's identity. The practice operates multiple locations across central Nebraska, including Grand Island, Hastings, Holdrege, and Atkinson, allowing them to serve a wide geographic area. Pershing Orthodontics offers a comprehensive suite of orthodontic services for patients of all ages, from children and teens to adults. For younger patients, they emphasize early intervention, recommending a first visit around age seven to address potential issues with jaw growth and crowded teeth before they become more complex. For adults, they recognize the unique needs and challenges, offering a variety of aesthetic and discreet treatment options. Their services include a range of modern orthodontic appliances, such as traditional metal braces, ceramic braces (Clarity™ Advanced), and invisible aligners like Invisalign and Invisalign Teen. They also provide more advanced treatments, including dentofacial orthopedics and surgical orthodontics, which are used to correct severe jaw misalignments in conjunction with an oral and maxillofacial surgeon. A core philosophy of Pershing Orthodontics is to provide personalized and comfortable care. They utilize state-of-the-art technology, such as iTero® digital impressions, to ensure precise and efficient treatment. The clinic's team is committed to open communication, ensuring patients and their families are well-informed and comfortable throughout their orthodontic journey. They also offer flexible financial options and work with various insurance plans to make treatment accessible.
