Dr. Wan has a passion for dentistry, and when asked where this passion was cultivated, she states, “Growing up in Ann Arbor, MI, I was inspired to begin my wire-bending journey when I ventured to recreate a pair of wire sculpture earrings that I had set my eyes on at the annual summer art fair.” That simple introduction led to a career that I am immensely passionate about – the perfect blend of personal and professional pursuits. “Today, I am lucky to be able to give patients smiles, through Orthodontics, by combining my passions for patient-care, science, engineering, and art.”
