Learn more about the doctors:
 Dr. Stanley Gersch received a BS in Biology from the City College of New York and his Doctorate of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree from Tufts University School of Dental Medicine in Boston, Mass. After completing a General Practice Residency at Montefiore Medical Center in NY, he specialized in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics at NYU College of Dentistry. Dr. Gersch and his wife, Cindy, reside in Westfield, NJ where they have raised their two adult children, Scott and Shari. Scott joined Dr. Gersch as his partner at Gersch Orthodontics back in 2005.
Dr. Gersch is President of the New Jersey Association of Orthodontists and has been delivering outstanding orthodontic care to children and adults in the Union County area for over 25 years. Dr. Gersch is a clinical professor in the Post-Graduate Orthodontic Department at NYU College of Dentistry and was recently named as one of the Top Orthodontists in America in the Guide to America’s Top Dentists by the Consumer’s Research Council of America. To remain in the forefront of technological advancements in the orthodontic specialty (including self-ligating brackets, mini-screws, and clear aligner technology), Dr. Gersch continues to research the latest products and advancements in orthodontic care by attending numerous orthodontic education programs each year – including the Greater New York Dental Meeting where he is a national speaker.
In addition to traditional and clear braces, Dr. Gersch was one of the first orthodontists in the United States to use Invisalign® and he has  been nationally recognized for his Invisalign treatment and expertise. One of these distinctions is the Top Case Award presented by Align Technology. Dr. Gersch is Director of Invisalign training at NYU College of Dentistry and lectures on a national basis for Invisalign. Honored at the American Association of Orthodontist's Convention for achieving membership in Align Technology's Century Club - he is part of an exclusive group consisting of only the Top 100 Invisalign providers in North America. Dr. Gersch has also consistently been recognized as an Invisalign Premier Provider Elite, a distinction given to less than 1% of Invisalign certified doctors — of over 20,000 certified doctors, less than 60 have been given this honor. In addition, Dr. Stanley Gersch has also been responsible for the Invisalign certification process for all New York and New Jersey graduate orthodontic programs.
Dr. Gersch is a member of the American Association of Orthodontists, Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontists, New Jersey Association of Orthodontists (where he serves as President), American Dental Association, New Jersey Dental Association, Union County Dental Society, and is on staff at Robert Wood Johnson Hospital. He is also actively involved in the broader Union County community and is a member and supports many local, charitable and civic organizations. Dr. Gersch and his team at Gersch Orthodontics strive to provide excellent patient care and the highest quality orthodontics in a personal and comfortable atmosphere.
 Dr. Scott D. Gersch is the son of Dr. Stanley Gersch and grew up in Westfield, NJ where he graduated from Westfield High School in 1995. He received his Bachelor’s Degree with honors from the University of Michigan in 1999, and then attended the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) where he earned his Doctor of Dental Medicine (DMD) degree in 2003. Dr. Gersch was on the Dean’s List, served as class president, and received multiple awards and honors including the award for excellence from the New Jersey Society for Pediatric Dentistry for his enthusiasm and skill in caring for and treating children.
Dr. Gersch continued his post-graduate studies at New York University College of Dentistry where he completed his residency in Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics in July 2005. While at NYU he was the Chief Resident of his orthodontic program, a clinical instructor of Invisalign, radiology and general dentistry, and continued his ongoing research focusing on patients’ aesthetic concerns and quality of life. Dr. Gersch’s commitment to research on improving orthodontic treatment for both children and adults has led him to publish several articles, win research awards and present his findings at national and international meetings. “Our goal is to treat for the right reasons and at the right time, in a great environment.” This philosophy is based on Dr. Gersch’s research and belief that orthodontics changes more than just tooth alignment. It can have a profound impact on a patient’s self esteem and overall psychological well-being. Straight teeth have the ability to give a person self confidence, and it makes one look and feel better about themselves.
 Dr. Gersch is a Diplomate of the American Board of Orthodontics - the only specialty licensing board that is recognized by both the American Association of Orthodontists and the American Dental Association. Dr. Gersch is also an Invisalign® Premier Provider Elite, an attending member of the teaching staff at Overlook Hospital, and is an active member of the American Association of Orthodontists, Middle Atlantic Society of Orthodontists, New Jersey Association of Orthodontists, American Dental Association, New Jersey Dental Association (New Dentist Committee), Union County Dental Society, Central Dental Society, American Association of Dental Research, International Association of Dental Research and Alpha Omega Dental Fraternity.
In addition to his skills in the field of orthodontics, Dr. Scott D. Gersch is an avid sports fan. He played lacrosse at Westfield High School and the University of Michigan, and enjoys skiing and golfing. In his spare time he and his father enjoy watching Michigan football and cheering on the New York Yankees and New Jersey Devils. Additionally, Dr. Gersch is actively involved in many local and charitable organizations throughout the tri-state area.
