What Are CandidPro™ Aligners?

CandidPro™ aligners are a clear, removable orthodontic system designed to straighten teeth and correct bite irregularities using a series of custom-made plastic trays. Each set of aligners is engineered to gently shift your teeth into improved positions over time. Since the trays are virtually invisible, they can provide a subtle alternative to the noticeable brackets and wires associated with traditional metal braces.

One of the standout benefits of CandidPro™ is the platform’s emphasis on consistent monitoring. Unlike direct-to-consumer aligner brands, CandidPro™ treatment is overseen by a licensed dental professional from start to finish. At Pomerado Cosmetic Dentistry, our dentists ensure that each stage of your tooth movement is progressing properly, combining in-office guidance with advanced remote monitoring technology for optimal outcomes.

How Does CandidPro™ Treatment Work?

CandidPro™ uses a sequence of aligners, each worn for about two weeks, to gradually move teeth into the desired positions. Patients typically wear their aligners for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink anything other than water, and complete their oral hygiene routine.

What makes CandidPro™ unique is the integration of CandidMonitoring™, an innovative platform that allows our dentists to track your progress remotely. Using a specialized app and at-home scan kit, patients take periodic digital scans of their teeth that our dentists review to ensure the treatment is progressing as planned. This level of monitoring helps enhance precision while reducing the need for frequent office visits.

With its combination of cutting-edge technology and professional oversight, CandidPro™ offers a streamlined, predictable, and highly convenient orthodontic experience.

Who Is a Candidate for CandidPro™?

CandidPro™ aligners can be an excellent option for many individuals seeking cosmetic dental improvements or mild-to-moderate orthodontic corrections. Good candidates often include those who experience:

• Crowding or overlapping teeth
• Small to moderate spacing or gaps
• Minor bite issues, such as overbites or crossbites
• Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment

During your consultation at Pomerado Cosmetic Dentistry, one of our dentists will evaluate your teeth, bite alignment, and treatment goals to determine whether CandidPro™ is the ideal solution for you. While CandidPro™ can be highly effective for many patients, more complex orthodontic concerns may require alternative treatments or collaboration with an orthodontic specialist.

What Is Involved in the CandidPro™ Treatment Process?

The CandidPro™ treatment process is designed for comfort, clarity, and convenience. It typically includes the following steps:

1. Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive evaluation. Our dentists can discuss your smile goals, review your oral health, and determine if CandidPro™ aligns with your needs. During this visit, they can also explain how CandidPro™ compares to other clear aligner systems offered at our practice, such as Invisalign® and SureSmile®, helping you choose the most appropriate solution for your orthodontic concerns.

2. Digital Scans and Treatment Planning

Advanced digital imaging allows us to capture detailed impressions of your teeth. These scans are used to create a fully customized treatment plan, mapping out each stage of tooth movement and predicting your final results.

3. Aligner Fabrication

Your aligners are custom-made using high-quality, BPA-free clear plastic. Once they are ready, you’ll return to our office to pick them up and learn how to wear and care for them.

4. Remote CandidMonitoring™ Check-ins

Every 10 to 14 days, you will use the CandidPro™ app and scan kit to submit images of your teeth. These scans allow our team to monitor your progress remotely, ensuring everything stays on track while minimizing in-person appointments.

5. Periodic Office Visits

Although the system emphasizes remote care, in-office visits are still scheduled as needed to evaluate progress or make adjustments.

6. Completion and Retainers

Once your teeth have reached their ideal positions, you will transition into retainer wear to maintain your results. Our dentists will provide guidance on how often to wear your retainers and how to care for them.

How Long Does CandidPro™ Treatment Take?

Most CandidPro™ treatments take between 6 and 12 months, though the exact timeline depends on the complexity of each case and a patient’s commitment to wearing their aligners as directed. Mild corrections may be completed more quickly, while cases involving multiple tooth movements may take longer.

Since progress is monitored frequently through CandidMonitoring™, adjustments can be made early if needed, which often helps improve the reliability and predictability of treatment timelines.

How Much Does CandidPro™ Cost?

The cost of CandidPro™ can vary depending on the extent of your orthodontic needs and the number of aligners required to achieve your desired results. During your consultation, our team can provide a personalized estimate that takes your individual concerns into account. We also offer financing options to help make treatment more accessible and affordable, ensuring patients can enjoy a beautifully aligned smile without added financial stress.
