Dr. April Kern

Dr. April Kern graduated from the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania. Prior to dentistry, she worked as a strategic management consultant in London, England. Dr. Kern realized she hated spreadsheets and loved teeth, so she pursued her dream and received her DMD from Nova Southeastern University in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. She then completed an intensive General Practice Residency at the level 1 trauma center at Albert Einstein Medical Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in 2010. Dr. Kern became an Invisalign provider in 2016, took Reingage in 2020, and grew from Silver to Platinum Plus. She is a Board Member of the American Academy of Clear Aligners, and is the leader of the AACA NoVA (Northern Virginia) Study Club. Dr Kern only picks up a handpiece for Invisalign these days, and life is good.
