Clear aligners are thin plastic trays that fit over your teeth and gradually straighten them over time. Think of them like invisible braces you can take out when you eat. They’ve been around for over 30 years and work really well for most people.

Here’s how it works: We take detailed scans and photos of your teeth to build a 3D model of your current smile. Then we map out how to move your teeth in small increments from where they are now to where you want them. CandidPro creates a series of custom trays that match each stage of that journey. You wear each set about 22 hours a day, switching to the next set every couple weeks until your teeth are straight.

All clear aligner brands do basically the same thing – they straighten your teeth with removable plastic trays. CandidPro stands out in a couple ways though.

The design grips your teeth better, which usually means we don’t need as many of those little bumps (attachments) glued to your teeth. Fewer attachments means your treatment stays more invisible. CandidPro also builds in remote monitoring with the ProMonitoring™ app as part of every case. That’s how we track your progress without you coming in every few weeks.

CandidPro handles everything from mild spacing issues to pretty complex bite problems. If another clear aligner system can treat it, CandidPro can too.

Some complicated cases need extra help like rubber bands or small attachments bonded to your teeth to get certain movements. Every CandidPro case gets reviewed by orthodontists who work with Dr. Kitts to make sure it’s the right approach for your specific situation.

About 75% of Americans have teeth that aren’t lined up properly. This isn’t just cosmetic – misaligned teeth increase your risk for cavities, gum disease, and even heart problems down the road. CandidPro can fix the alignment and give you a smile you actually want to show people.

During your consultation, Dr. Kitts will look at your bite, check how your teeth fit together, and take records to plan your treatment. Not everyone’s a good candidate, and we’ll tell you straight up if aligners aren’t your best option. If CandidPro makes sense for you, we’ll go over exactly what it’ll cost and how long it’ll take.

CandidPro uses a medical-grade material called ZenduraFLX to make the aligners. It’s one of the best clear aligner materials available – safe, BPA-free, and unlikely to cause allergic reactions. Millions of people have used it without problems.

Once Dr. Kitts submits your case, he works with a licensed orthodontist to finalize your treatment plan. Then CandidPro manufactures your custom aligners. While you’re waiting for them to arrive (usually a few weeks), download the ProMonitoring™ app from your phone’s app store so you’re ready to go.

It depends on how crooked your teeth are and how good you are about wearing the aligners as directed. Minor crowding might only take a few months. Complex cases can take a year or more.

We’ll give you a timeline estimate once your plan is done. Here’s the good news: 98% of CandidPro cases finish as planned with just one set of refinements or none at all. That’s because the remote monitoring catches issues early.

Your first appointment needs to be in person so we can examine your teeth and take the records needed for treatment planning. After that, most of your check-ins happen through the ProMonitoring™ app on your phone. We might ask you to come in occasionally for in-person checks, but the app handles most of the monitoring remotely.

We offer payment plans to make treatment affordable. You can also use your orthodontic insurance benefits or HSA/FSA money toward the cost. CareCredit financing is available too, click the button below to apply.

Orthodontic treatment isn’t cheap. But skipping it now often leads to bigger, more expensive dental problems later. Straightening your teeth is an investment in your long-term health.

We’ll walk you through everything at your first appointment. You’ll wear each set of aligners 22 hours every day. Take them out for meals, snacks, and hot drinks. Brush and floss before you put them back in. That’s basically it.

The ProMonitoring™ app tells you when it’s time to change. But first you need to take photos with your phone and send them to us so we can check that your teeth are moving properly. Once we confirm everything looks good, the app notifies you to switch to your next set.

Most patients start noticing differences after a few weeks. The ProMonitoring™ app actually shows you a timelapse of your progress over time, which is pretty cool to watch.

It’s how you check in with us remotely during treatment. The app sends you reminders when it’s time for a check-in. You attach a small device called the ScanBox Pro to your phone, then follow the prompts to take photos of your teeth from different angles. Takes maybe five minutes.

We review those photos to make sure your teeth are tracking properly. If something’s off, we catch it early before it becomes a problem.

Yes. After CandidPro straightens your teeth, you’ll need to wear a retainer to keep them from shifting back. We might give you PermaForm retainers or another type depending on your situation.

This is important – if you don’t wear your retainer, your teeth can move back toward where they started. You’ve invested months and money into straight teeth. Wearing your retainer protects that investment.

Call our office at (425) 563-6360 for anything related to your treatment. For technical questions about the app or non-clinical stuff, you can email CandidPro support directly through the ProMonitoring™ app.
