Hello! I am Dr. Chia-Hung (Tony) Lin, the founder of Fellow Orthodontist.
​
Growing up, my family could not afford braces for me, and I spent my high school years feeling self-conscious about my smile. This insecurity in turn made me shy and fearful of public speaking.
When I was in dental school, I finally saved up enough money to pay for my orthodontic treatment. It was expensive because I wanted to be treated by a trustworthy orthodontic specialist.
Now
I attended the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry and earned my specialist degree in orthodontics & dentofacial orthopedics at the St Barnabas Hospital in New York. I am a board-certified orthodontist, a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics.
I chose to specialize in orthodontics, because orthodontics is truly a profession of arts and science. I fell in love with orthodontics for two reasons: my affinity for photography art and my natural joy in making people look and feel their best.
Future
Many people hold back their smiles because they feel self-conscious about how they look to others. As a board-certified orthodontist, I help people achieve confident and healthy smiles, so they look more youthful and feel their best.
​
I believe we can all make a difference in this world in our unique ways. I hope to utilize my expertise and specialist training to help many people be the best version of themselves with a confident and healthy smile.
My mission is to be the best orthodontist in Manhattan without being the most expensive specialist. I promise that you will receive the highest quality of orthodontic treatment at an affordable and accessible cost.
The Board Certification Process
Only 1 out of 3 orthodontists are board-certified. Dr. Lin is a board-certified orthodontist with a decade of clinical experience treating patients of all ages.
For an orthodontist to become board certified in his field, he or she is required to complete peer-developed, externally validated written and clinical examinations. This achievement is reached by pursuing additional voluntary education and ongoing assessment.
​
Board certification is the highest commitment to excellence.
