Dr. Susan Korch, DMD, MS has cared for families in the Hershey and Harrisburg area since 1998.
She earned her Doctor of Dental Medicine from the University of Pittsburgh, then completed a three year orthodontic residency at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry, where she also earned a Master of Science in Oral Biology. That degree is in the biology of how teeth move and how faces grow, which is the science underneath every treatment plan she writes.
She is an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists, the American Dental Association, the Middle Atlantic and Pennsylvania Associations of Orthodontists, and the Harrisburg Area Dental Society. She is also certified by the American Academy of Facial Esthetics for therapeutic facial injections.
Her clinical work centers on digital indirect bonding, clear aligners, self-ligating braces, iTero® 3D scanning, and remote progress monitoring.
Because this is a single doctor practice, Dr. Korch sees you at every visit. Read her full biography.
We work with most major orthodontic insurance plans and submit your claims for you. Before treatment starts, we verify exactly what your plan covers and tell you the number, so there are no surprises later.
If you have no orthodontic coverage, we offer interest free in-house financing: a down payment, then monthly installments set at your consultation and administered through OrthoBanc®. There is also a discount for paying in full and a family discount when more than one family member is in treatment. FSA and HSA funds can be applied to your care.
Treatment runs about $3,500 for limited treatment to $9,000 for more complex cases, with your exact fee set at your free exam. See financing details or our full cost guide.
