Dr Ivan Prabowo graduated with a Bachelor of Dental Surgery degree from NUS in 2008. He honed his skills in government polyclinics and hospitals before embarking on his orthodontics residency, supported by the Alexandra Health scholarship. In 2014, he completed his orthodontic residency at NUS, progressing to the role of Associate Consultant in Orthodontics at Khoo Teck Puat Hospital. During his tenure there, he earned his Singapore board certification in Orthodontics. In 2019, Dr. Ivan made the transition to private practice, where he continues to approach orthodontics as an intricate puzzle, dedicated to helping each patient achieve not just a aesthetic smile but also a well-aligned, functional bite. He is fluent in English, Bahasa Indonesia, and Mandarin (一点点）！
Beyond his professional life, Dr. Ivan is a music enthusiast with eclectic tastes, embracing everything from smooth jazz to metal. Don’t worry, though; you won’t find yourself unexpectedly rocked by Metallica during your treatment unless you specifically request it! In his leisure time, he enjoys playing the guitar and occasionally indulges in the whimsical thought that he might have been the next Jimi Hendrix had his mother not nudged him towards piano lessons instead.
