Meet Dr. Lawrence Lin
DDS, Board-Eligible Orthodontist
A Southern California native, Dr. Lawrence Lin grew up in Orange County and now calls Los Angeles home. He attended UCLA, where he earned his undergraduate degree in Economics, graduating summa cum laude, before continuing his education at the UCLA School of Dentistry. During dental school, he received several honors and scholarships and discovered his interest in orthodontics, ultimately remaining at UCLA to complete his specialty training.
For Dr. Lin, orthodontics brings together his attention to detail with the opportunity to build lasting relationships with his patients. He has also dedicated time to serving communities both locally and internationally, including traveling to China to provide dental care to underserved communities.
His involvement in community outreach began while he was a student. Dr. Lin participated in CHAMPs, a mentorship program for underserved youth, where he later served as health director. He also created the Teen Oral Health Committee through the American Student Dental Association and visited Los Angeles-area middle schools to educate students about oral health.
Dr. Lin is a member of the American Dental Association, American Association of Orthodontists, and California Association of Orthodontists. He is also a Fellow of the International College of Dentists, an organization that recognizes dentists for professional achievement and service to their communities.
To better connect with the patients he serves, Dr. Lin has spent time studying Spanish and Mandarin. Outside the practice, he enjoys spending time with his family, reading, exercising, and traveling.
