Dr. Lin Lin
Ngu

Dr. Lin Lin Ngu came to NYC from her hometown of Halifax, Nova Scotia after dental school to follow her lifelong dream of living in a diverse city. Here, she discovered her passion for orthodontics while working with a wide variety of specialists to comprehensively treat medically complex patients during her residency.

A decade later, Dr. Ngu is an established and board-certified orthodontist dedicated to creating beautiful, healthy smiles. Seeing each patient’s unique identity, and helping them achieve the smile that radiates it, are her superpowers. Dr. Ngu’s goals with every single patient are to:

● Boost their confidence.
● Improve their well-being.
● Provide a positive, uplifting experience.
● Give them a reason to look forward to each visit.
● Provide the very best and most compassionate care.

To that end, Dr. Ngu regularly attends continuing education courses and incorporates cutting-edge orthodontic technology. Additionally, she has provided care to underserved communities locally and internationally, including in Guatemala, work that connected her even more deeply to herppurpose as a compassionate and effective doctor.

Dr. Ngu’s non-teeth-related passions include that she is very proud of her Chinese-Malaysian heritage; she loves food, both cooking it and enjoying it in the city’s vast selection of restaurants; and she finds joy in group fitness classes, skiing, traveling, ballroom dancing, and Latin dancing.
