Meet Dr. Esther Lin
Making a positive impact on people’s lives while creating healthy smiles is what motivates Dr. Lin throughout her day. Having grown up in Taiwan and moved to Virginia when she was young, she took note of the sense of comfort a welcoming smile brought her after relocating to an unfamiliar place. Dr. Lin is grateful to be able to now use the science and artistry of orthodontics to provide that universal sign of positivity, a genuine smile.
