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.

Dr. Benkovich was the second orthodontist that we visited for a braces consultation. For us, the visit was merely a formality as we had already committed to another doctor. However, upon meeting with Dr. Benkovich, my husband and I were stunned by his state of the art, highly technical presentation. He explained our options very clearly so that we knew what to expect at every stage of the process, complete with 3-D models. Additionally, we were particularly impressed with his medical credentials and the fact that he stays on top of and certifies in the latest developments in his field. He is a wealth of knowledge and was able to answer our questions thoroughly and patiently. His is a curious combination of type A meticulous attentiveness to detail and an easy going, humorous nature that put our daughter at ease. We decided on our way home from that meeting to go with Dr. Benkovich instead, and we are so happy with this decision. Our appointments always start on time--no lengthy waits in the lobby! The staff is always very courteous, competent and helpful. Dr. B is wonderful to work with. Our daughter has mild sensory processing disorder and Dr. B has been able to accommodate her beautifully. Lastly, scheduling options are flexible and the location of the Annapolis office is extremely convenient as it is within 10 minutes of our daughter's school. We highly recommend this practice!
