 As a specialist in orthodontics, Dr. Catherine Lee considers patient care as more than just a job. With the eyes, mind and heart of an artist, dentist, architect, and bio-engineer all rolled into one, orthodontics is her passion and her life's work.
Spending her formative years in Australia, Dr. Lee graduated with a degree in dentistry from Adelaide University. Dr. Lee attended post graduate school in New York City, where she qualified as a specialist in orthodontics at New York University. In 1998, she was elected to further specialize in the field of cleft-craniofacial surgical orthodontics through a fellowship at the world-renowned Institute of Reconstructive Plastic Surgery (IRPS) at the NYU School of Medicine.
Dr. Lee practiced dentistry for many years in Sydney, Australia, and New York City. She moved to Singapore in 2001 and started her orthodontics specialist practice there in 2002, adding a satellite practice in Kuala Lumpur, the capital city of Malaysia.
With her sub-specialty in cleft-craniofacial surgical orthodontics (i.e. complex orthodontics involving surgery), Dr. Lee became the Director of the Singapore International Cleft-Craniofacial Team, which provides advanced care for cleft-lip and -palate patients throughout Asia.
 In 2005, Dr. Lee helped to establish the Cleft Care Foundation Indonesia, a non-profit charity organization. She now serves as a Patron and Project Advisor on its board, providing expertise, resources and strategies for the care of underprivileged cleft-lip and -palate children in Indonesia.
Dr. Lee has been a Visiting Consultant for the Department of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery of the Singapore General Hospital and the Department of Surgery at the National University of Singapore for many years. In these hospitals, she serves as cleft-craniofacial orthodontist, working with surgical teams on advanced treatment for special patients.
