A native Nebraskan, Dr. Bronsen Schliep (pronounced Sh-leep) was raised on a farm near Fairfield, Nebraska where his father grew corn and soybeans and his mother taught art at Sandy Creek high school. This rural upbringing helped him learn the value of hard work, discipline, and integrity at an early age. Those characteristics have shaped him not only personally but also professionally, and they are engrained into the fabric of Nebraska Orthodontics.
Dr. Bronsen attended the University of Nebraska for college, where he played basketball for the Huskers from 2001-2006 under coach Barry Collier. While in Lincoln, he met his wife, Priscilla, who was originally from Toronto, Canada. She ran track for the Huskers, winning multiple national titles in the hurdles and sprints. Priscilla went on to compete at the professional and Olympic levels, winning a bronze medal at the 2008 Beijing Olympics in the 100-meter hurdles.
After completing his undergraduate studies, Dr. Bronsen attended Nebraskas College of Dentistry for four years, earning his Doctor of Dental Surgery (DDS) degree with high distinction and graduating at the top of his class. Dr. Bronsen and his wife moved to Toronto, where he practiced for a year as a general dentist and spent three years at the prestigious Orthodontic Residency Program at the University of Toronto, earning a Master of Science (MS) in Orthodontics. Prior to moving back to Lincoln, Dr. Bronsen practiced as an Orthodontic specialist in Scottsbluff, Nebraska, where he served the entire Panhandle region.
As a specialist in Orthodontics, Dr. Bronsen has taken the extra steps necessary to stay at the forefront of his field. In addition, he strongly believes in being a life-long learner and attends numerous continuing education conferences annually. He understands the significance that improper relationships of the teeth and jaws can have, not just on oral function, but on total body health. Orthodontists are uniquely positioned, as healthcare professionals, to be able to screen children for not only developing bite issues but also sleep breathing disorders. Dr. Bronsen has seen, first-hand, the difference that early recognition and treatment of breathing issues can make for the growth and development of children, and he takes his role as an educator very seriously.
Dr. Bronsen enjoys getting to know all our families on a personal level and takes great satisfaction in helping our patients achieve their personal treatment goals. As a seasoned orthodontist, he will provide orthodontic care at the highest level in a comfortable, caring manner using the most modern technology available. Most importantly, he recognizes that everyones treatment goals are different and promises to listen to you! He takes a pragmatic, realistic approach and is happy to accommodate ones preferences for treatment.
Dr. Bronsens ultimate purpose in life is to be a loving husband to Priscilla and a wonderful father to their two beautiful daughters, Nataliya and Jaslene. Life is very precious, and he cherishes the time spent and memories made with his family.

Nebraska Orthodontics is a well-known orthodontic practice that has been in operation since 1950. Dr. Ken Holland founded the original orthodontic practice at a time when there were only eight practicing orthodontists in the entire state. Of those, only two practiced outside of Lincoln and Omaha. In those early days, Dr. Holland had patients who drove from Valentine and Chadron to Lincoln to see him!
In 1963, Dr. Phil Etzelmiller joined the practice with an entrepreneurial spirit and lead the efforts in 1966 to relocate the practice to its current location at 3100 O Street. Dr. Etzelmiller expanded the practices reach with multiple satellite offices, to provide much needed orthodontic care to rural communities. In 1997, Dr. John Ficke took the reins and has led with distinction for the past 22 years, creating smiles and influencing childrens lives with his friendly personality, quick wit, and guitar. In 2018, the practice was renamed from Ficke Orthodontics to Nebraska Orthodontics, and the torch was passed to Dr. Bronsen Schliep, who takes great pride in continuing this tradition of orthodontic excellence, compassion, and kindness true Nebraska values.

This place is so amazing with great friendly people. So many different places you can chose to go if the one place doesn't have the times that meet your schedule. My daughter's teeth quit moving the way the Dr wanted them to, an he rescheduled us to come in sooner than our appointment was. It was truly an amazing experience and very helpful.

Nebraska Orthodontics is the best place ever. They truly care about your child and want them to have the best smile. They keep you informed on everything that they are doing. Everyone on the staff is excellent and so nice. They are always so excited to see you when you walk in the door. We will miss seeing everyone when the braces come off.

Both of our boys received orthodontic treatment from Nebraska Orthodontics. They are professional, friendly, and really care about their patients. They give honest feedback and are reasonable regarding pricing and payment options. We would highly recommend them.

I went in for braces in January of 2018, before Nebraska Orthodontics took over Ficke Orthodontics. A few months in, Nebraska Orthodontics took over and I was worried that it would go poorly, that I'd hate the doctor or that I'd have my braces on years longer than I was told. However I was quickly shown over the next few months that the service I received was incredible and now, writing this review, I can say with confidence that I got everything I wanted out of my orthodontist and MORE. I got my braces off on October 7th, and just came in for my first retainer check. It's always a pleasant experience and I would recommend them to every person in Nebraska for all their orthodontic needs.

Nebraska Orthodontics is a fantastic place to go if you need braces. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and they put their patients 1st!!! My son was to have his braces on for 20 months. My son did everything Dr. Bronson said, he had the braces removed in 15 months. Very happy boy!! We couldn't have been happier with the results!! Thank you Nebraska Orthodontics
