How CandidPro Treatment Works

1. Schedule A Consultation With Dr. Yaldoo We begin with an in-office exam and digital scans. Dr. Yaldoo evaluates your bite, alignment, and smile goals to determine if you’re an ideal candidate for CandidPro. 2. Receive A Customized Treatment Plan Your case is reviewed and designed by a licensed orthodontist within the Candid network. They create a detailed, step-by-step plan tailored to your unique tooth movements. You’ll be able to preview a 3D simulation of how your teeth will move and what your final results will look like. 3. Your Aligners Arrive Once your plan is approved, your custom CandidPro aligners are fabricated with crystal-clear, BPA-free material designed for comfort and durability. You’ll wear each set of aligners for approximately 10–14 days, depending on your treatment plan. 4. CandidMonitoring™ Remote Check-Ins One of the biggest advantages of CandidPro is the remote monitoring app. Using your smartphone, you will send quick scans of your teeth throughout treatment. This allows: • Faster response times • Real-time guidance • Fewer office visits • More accurate monitoring of progress 5. Your New Smile Most patients finish treatment in 6–12 months, depending on complexity. Once your teeth reach their ideal alignment, you’ll receive custom retainers to maintain your beautiful results.

Is CandidPro Right for You?

CandidPro is ideal for correcting: • Crowding • Spacing • Minor to moderate bite issues • Tooth rotations • Relapse after braces If you want a straighter, more confident smile without traditional braces, CandidPro may be an excellent match. Call our office or request an appointment online to get started.

What can I expect?

During treatment, you'll receive new aligners every few weeks, each set designed to move your teeth slightly. You'll wear the aligners for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only for eating and cleaning. Regular check-ups with our team will allow us to monitor your progress and make any necessary adjustments.

How much will it cost?

The cost of clear aligners varies based on the complexity of your case and the length of treatment. Our team will provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss financing options during your consultation.

How long will treatment take?

The duration of clear aligner treatment depends on the severity of your orthodontic issues. On average, treatment can take anywhere from six months to two years. Our team will give you a personalized timeline based on your specific needs and goals.

What Are the Results?

Clear aligners can effectively straighten teeth, correct minor bite issues, and close gaps, resulting in a healthier, more attractive smile. The results are typically permanent, provided you follow your post-treatment instructions. Many patients report improved confidence and oral health following their treatment.

Do I need to see an orthodontist?

While orthodontists specialize in straightening teeth and correcting bite issues, many general dentists are certified to provide clear aligner treatments. Our dentist has undergone additional training to ensure they can effectively plan and monitor your treatment. For most mild to moderate cases, a certified general dentist can offer the same high-quality care and results as an orthodontist.

The benefits of clear aligners

Clear aligners offer numerous benefits, including being nearly invisible, comfortable, and removable for eating and cleaning. Plus, properly aligned teeth also reduce your risk for tooth decay and gums disease as well as boost your self confidence. When compared to traditional braces, they provide a more aesthetically pleasing option. Additionally, clear aligners typically require fewer dental visits and allow for better oral hygiene maintenance during treatment.

Benefits of clear aligners

• Clear aligners are rarely noticed by others • You can eat what you want during treatment • The trays are smooth and comfortable to wear • You don’t have to worry about poking wires or lip-snagging brackets • The trays can be removed whenever you want • Treatment is typically faster than braces

Clear Aligners vs. Braces - Which Is Better for Me?

While clear aligners and braces both straighten teeth, they each do so in very different ways and with different results. Knowing whether clear aligners or braces are a better option for you largely depends on the health of your teeth, your commitment to treatment, your timeline and budget, and the advice given to you from a dental expert. If your teeth alignment issues are minimal — meaning you simply have crooked teeth — clear aligners are likely the best option for you. Crooked teeth can be straightened up to 50% faster with clear aligners than with traditional braces.

Braces

• Irremovable • Metal (typically silver) • Worn 24/7 for an average of 2 years • Maintained by regular brushing • Monthly follow-up visits • Some foods may be restricted • Ideal for severely misaligned teeth • High success rate

Clear Aligners

• Removable • Clear/“Invisible” • Worn 22-24 hrs/day for an average of 6-18 months • Maintained by brushing and rinsing trays • Aligner trays changed every 2 weeks • Must remove before eating or drinking • Ideal for mild cases of misaligned teeth • Success depends on the wearer
