Invisalign in Annapolis, MD
Straighter teeth — no wires, no brackets, no disruption to your life.
Dr. John Benkovich has been straightening smiles in the Annapolis area for over 30 years. With Invisalign, you get a virtually invisible, removable treatment that fits your schedule — starting at just $184/month with a free consultation included.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a series of custom-made, clear plastic aligners to gradually shift your teeth into the right position — without any metal wires or brackets.
Each set of aligners is worn for about 1–2 weeks before moving to the next set. Because they’re removable, you can eat whatever you want, brush and floss normally, and take them out for photos or special events.
Invisalign treats a wide range of alignment issues — from mild crowding and spacing to overbites, underbites, and more complex cases. Dr. Benkovich will evaluate your teeth during your free consultation and recommend the right treatment for your goals.
How Invisalign Works
From your first visit to your final smile, here’s what to expect at Benkovich Orthodontics.
Invisalign vs. Traditional Braces
Not sure which is right for you? Here’s a side-by-side look at how Invisalign compares to metal braces. Dr. Benkovich offers both — and will help you decide at your free consultation.
| Feature | Invisalign | Metal Braces |
|---|---|---|
| Visibility | ✓ Nearly invisible clear plastic | Visible metal brackets & wires |
| Removable | ✓ Remove to eat, drink & clean | — Fixed throughout treatment |
| Comfort | ✓ Smooth plastic, no sharp edges | May cause irritation from wires |
| Food Restrictions | ✓ No restrictions — remove before eating | Avoid hard, sticky & chewy foods |
| Oral Hygiene | ✓ Brush & floss as normal | More difficult around brackets |
| Check-up Frequency | Every 6–8 weeks | Every 4–6 weeks |
| Treatment Time | Typically 12–18 months | Typically 18–24 months |
| Best For | Adults & teens who want discreet treatment | Complex cases & younger patients |
*Treatment time and suitability vary by case. Consult Dr. Benkovich for a personalized recommendation.

What Annapolis Patients Are Saying
Don’t take our word for it. Here’s what real patients are sharing about their experience with Dr. Benkovich.
“Excellent care from the moment we walked in. I appreciated how kind everyone was to my daughter who was a little nervous and how thoroughly everything was thought out and explained. I know we are in good hands. My daughter left her appointment without feeling nervous anymore and actually looking forward to her next appointment. Thank you Dr. B and staff!”
“I highly recommend Dr. Benkovich’s practice. We travel from PA every 4–6 weeks to have my kids get the best care. I was his patient at some point, and I received the needed dental care I never had before as a child. The staff assisting him during examinations, finances, and scheduling are very professional, knowledgeable, accommodating and friendly.”
“Dr. Benkovich and his team are amazing! My sister, my children, and I have all been/still are patients. We drive from Ellicott City because it’s worth the quality work and caring environment he and his team provide. Highly recommend!”
