Annville is 21 minutes and 10.4 miles from our office, west along Route 422.
We want to be accurate about that because a previous version of this page said 15 minutes, and it was wrong. Twenty-one is the measured figure in normal traffic. It is a real drive, and you should decide with the right number in front of you.

21 minutes. 10.4 miles. Take Route 422 west out of Annville, through Cleona and Palmyra, and continue toward Hershey. If you are starting south of town, Route 934 north connects you to 422.
Route 422 carries you almost the whole way. You will pass the Giant Center as you come into Hershey, then turn onto West Governor Road. Free parking is at the door.
This is worth explaining plainly, because in Annville it is the main practical difference between your options.
Every orthodontist is a dentist first. An orthodontist then completes several additional years of full-time residency training in one thing: moving teeth and guiding jaw growth. Dr. Korch completed a three year orthodontic residency at the University of Maryland and holds a Master of Science in Oral Biology, which is the study of exactly that.
A general dentist can legally provide orthodontic treatment, and many do it competently. But it is one service among many, learned through continuing education rather than residency.
For a straightforward case, that distinction may not change your outcome. For a growing child, a complex bite, or a case that stops going to plan halfway through, it usually does.
Annville is a community of about 4,800 people in Lebanon County, on the Route 422 corridor between Palmyra and the city of Lebanon.
Children we treat here attend the Annville-Cleona School District. Lebanon Valley College on College Avenue is the town’s best-known institution, and Annville Square remains its recognizable center.
We offer appointments before and after school hours, as well as on Fridays, which matter more the farther you drive.

21 minutes, 10.4 miles, measured in normal traffic. Route 422 west the whole way, or Route 934 north to 422 if you are starting south of town. Allow a little longer during the morning school run.
Very common, and the first visit is built for it. Nothing uncomfortable happens: we look, we take images, we talk. There is also Zeeno®, our interactive robot, who greets patients and answers simple questions. Children usually head straight for it, and being curious about something is a good deal better than being worried about everything. Parents come into the room too.
Braces need no daily effort beyond careful brushing. Clear aligners do ask something of you: they need to be worn 20 to 22 hours a day, which means putting them back in after every meal. We will be honest at your consultation about which suits your household better.
Yes, and the timing question that usually comes with it is worth raising early. If you are partway through treatment and starting at LVC, we can take over your care, and the drive is the same twenty-one minutes from anywhere in Annville. If you are hoping to finish before graduating, tell us at the consultation so the plan is built around that date rather than around it.
Yes, and we recommend it when you are driving 21 minutes. Tell us you want visits paired and we will schedule siblings back to back so one trip covers both. Our family discount applies when more than one member is in treatment.
Let’s talk about your smile goals and find the perfect treatment plan for you. Book your visit or start with a quick virtual consultation - whichever you prefer!
