Est. 2008 Board-certified orthodontist for kids, teens, and adults — across Lé by An Dental and Greenlife Dental.
Est. 2008 I’m Dr. Ivan — a Singapore board-certified orthodontist, Invisalign Platinum Elite provider in 2021 and 2022, and Invisalign Platinum provider since 2023. I earned my dental degree from the National University of Singapore in 2008, then spent my early years in government healthcare at the National Healthcare Group Polyclinic and Alexandra Hospital before completing my orthodontic residency at NUS in 2014 on an Alexandra Health scholarship. I went on to earn my MOrth from the Royal College of Surgeons Edinburgh and serve as Associate Consultant in Orthodontics at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital, where I attained Singapore board certification in 2018. Since 2019 I’ve been in private practice across Lé by An Dental and Greenlife Dental — treating primary-school overbites, teenage Invisalign, and adults whose teeth shifted back after years.
I treat orthodontics as more than straightening teeth. How a jaw develops, how someone breathes, and how a bite actually works are all part of the same picture — which is why I lean into growth modulation for younger patients and airway-conscious planning for everyone else.
Straight teeth are nice. But finding your confidence is worth every visit. — Dr. Ivan
Discreet, removable orthodontic treatment for adults and teens. Platinum Elite Provider, 2021–2022.
Time-tested fixed appliances when the case calls for the precision only braces deliver.
Early interceptive treatment for children — guiding jaw development before it has a chance to drift.
It’s never too late. Aesthetic and functional outcomes tailored to grown-up timelines.
Fifteen years of moving teeth has taught me that timing is the quiet half of the work. A note on what biology refuses to be rushed about.

The same patience that resets a stubborn molar shows up in the rest of his life: a guitar in hand somewhere between jazz and metal, a pilates mat early in the morning, a tennis racket on the weekends.
He has been on dental mission trips since his undergraduate years — once treating patients in Kunming, China with little more than the essentials. Care, where it’s needed, with what’s on hand.
A taste that runs from cool jazz standards to heavier riffs. Same six strings, very different evenings.
The orthodontic version of cross-training. Steady hands need a steady core.
Volunteer work in Kunming — minimal equipment, maximum intention.
