I am celebrating 24years as an orthodontist in 2022! It is so fulfilling to be such an important part of my patients decision to better their health and happiness through orthodontic treatment. I had braces myself as an adult, and my oldest son Aidan also completed treatment, so I feel I can appreciate every perspective on orthodontics:as a doctor, a patient, and a braces mom! Dr. Susan Korch on Healthgrades

My formal education began at the University of Pittsburgh, where I received my Bachelor of Science. I continued my studies at Pitt and went on to complete my Doctorate of Dental Medicine at the School of Dental Medicine. I completed a three-year orthodontic residency at the University of Marylands School of Dentistry and received my orthodontic certificate and Master of Science in oral biology.

Providing my patients with the latest advances in technologyand delivering the highest quality of orthodontic careis very important to me. I regularly attend continuing education courses and actively participate in the following professional orthodontic and dental organizations to ensure that I stay on the cutting edge of orthodontics and bring the most efficient and gentle treatments to my patients:

As a small business owner, I am honored to be one of the inaugural members of Harrisburgs chapter of the Women Presidents Organization, WPO, representing healthcare. I attend monthly meetings with 18 other successful women business owners in the midstate area, which has helped me to manage my practice more efficiently.

My commitment to staying as current as possible in the orthodontic field is one reason why my practice was the first in the area to use a digital orthodontic scanner, and one of the first to use Damon System braces. Korch Orthodontics is a Premier Provider of Invisalign clear aligners, and my technical expertise includes the use of an innovative computer-guided indirect bonding system for optimal bracket placement. Asa dentalprofessional certified by the American Academy of Facial Esthetics, I amalso uniquely qualified to treat adult patients with Botox for therapeutic benefits as well as facial esthetics. A smooth smile is a SKORCHING SMILE!

Since moving to the Harrisburg area in 1998, I have loved being a part of such a caring community that has given me so much. I was honored to be recognized as a 2017 Woman of Influence by Central Penn Business Journal, and strive to support and give back to causes that are important to me and to my patient family. I support the Association of Faculty and Friends of the Penn State Milton S. Hershey Medical Center and Penn State College of Medicine; Cocoa Packs, which provides supplemental food to school children in Derry Township; and many of our patients educational, arts, and athletic programs and events. During the holidays, we conduct annual food and toy drives at the offices, and on weekends, I also serve as a lector at my church.

I met my husband, Thomas Appleby, who is a general dentist on the West Shore, while we were both in dental school. Together, we have been incredibly blessed with an amazing family, including our sons, Aidan and Andrew. Being a mom to my two wonderful and handsome boys is my greatest source of pride. Family is one of the most important things in my life, so my family and I stay very close to our immediate and extended family members.

Leisure time is something I wish I had a little bit more of, but when I am able to sneak away from the office, I love to travel with my husband and sons. I also enjoy vinyasa yoga, exercise, dancing, reading, music, going to the theatre, and playing the piano and learning the violin with my son.

We recognize that allour patients are unique and deserve to receive orthodontic care that reflects their individual needs. Our experienced and talented team is committed to working with you and your family to create a comfortable, stress-free, and rewarding orthodontic experience every time you visit our practice.

I love working with the terrific team at Korch Orthodontics, and I enjoy seeing all of the patients' smiles and their excitement when they get their braces off! I have a Master's Degree in Human Resources Management from St. Francis University, and a Bachelor's Degree in Business Management fromPenn State University.

My husband, Jason, and I live in Palmyra with our two daughters, Alaina and Alyse. In my free timeI enjoy cooking and reading, and I especially love watching my daughters play field hockey, going to Hershey Bears games, and traveling to Maine every summer on family vacations.

I am excited to be a team member withKorch Orthodontics. I worked in general dentistry for 27 years before making the switch to orthodontics severalyears ago.Working with this fantastic team to give our patients a smile they are proud of is very rewarding. Our patients are the best and getting to know them makes me smile every day.

I am originally from westernMaryland buthave lived in Lancaster County for more than ten years. I am married to my best friend, Justin, and we have a beautiful daughter, Dallas. Our family loves hockey andspending time in the mountains of New York. If Im not at a Hershey Bears game, you can find me spending time with my awesome friends and family.

I enjoy spending a lot of time outdoors - hiking, camping, fishing, and attending my daughters' track meets and band competitions. I also like to read and enjoy time with my husband Ron, our two daughters Liz and Delaney, and our dog and two cats.

I am a graduate of Harrisburg Area Community College's Dental Assisting program, and I also have previous experience as a Dental Lab Technician. I really appreciate our team environment here, and I like working in orthodontics because I really enjoy seeing our patients' progress.

I live in Lebanon with my family, and am hoping to continue my education in the healthcare and business fields as I continue to work. When I'm not working, I like to study fashion, make earrings and bake.

I have a certificate in Dental Assisting from YTI Career Institute of Lancaster and I have lived in the Hershey/Hummestown area for most of my life. I enjoy spending weekends with my adorable niece and nephew, hiking, painting, and working on antique cars with my boyfriend.

At Korch Orthodontics, our commitment and dedication to our patients is something we take very seriously. In addition to providing our patients with the most current advances in orthodontics, we strive to provide this state-of-the-art care in a warm, welcoming, and fun environment.

For most people, achieving a healthy, beautiful smile is the reason for receiving orthodontic care. If you're self-conscious about your smile, correcting your concerns with braces will greatly improve the way you look and feel.

When your treatment is complete, you will have the smile you've always dreamed of and the confidence to show it off! We also want you to feel comfortable and confident throughout your entire orthodontic experience, and our practice is dedicated to making sure that you receive the quality care you deserve.

Orthodontic appliances are made of metal, ceramic, or plastic. They may be removable or they may be brackets bonded to the teeth. By placing a constant, gentle force in a carefully controlled direction, braces slowly move teeth to the proper position.

Gone are the days when a metal band with a bracket was placed around each tooth. You can now choose clear or metal brackets and, in some cases, the color of your appliance. Wires are far less noticeable, and the latest materials are designed to move teeth faster with more comfort. Today, any age is a great age to wear braces!

Treatment time varies and can last between one and three years, depending on several factors including age, treatment method, and how minor or severe your case is. A big factor in a successful treatment is you! The more involved and diligent you are, the more efficient your treatment will be. For children, receiving interceptive or early treatment can also help provide a quicker treatment time.
