Dental aligners are orthodontic devices that are used to put teeth in proper alignment. They are made of a clear, flexible material and are custom-fit to the patient’s teeth. Unlike braces, which are made of brackets and wires that are attached to the teeth, aligners are removable and can be taken out for eating, brushing, and flossing.
The decision to choose traditional braces or clear aligners should be based on the likely compliance of the patient and the professional evaluation of your dentist and orthodontist.

These clear aligners, designed to straighten teeth discreetly, provide a more aesthetically pleasing alternative to traditional braces. The transparent nature of CandidPro Aligners makes them virtually invisible, allowing users to undergo orthodontic treatment with minimal impact on their appearance.
Comfort is another notable advantage, as the aligners are custom-made to fit the individual’s teeth, reducing irritation and discomfort often associated with traditional braces.

Invisalign®
Invisalign offers many of the same options as CandidPro, that include:
Clear Aligners: Invisalign employs a series of clear, custom-made aligners that are nearly invisible when worn. This contrasts with traditional braces, providing a more discreet option for individuals seeking orthodontic treatment.
- Removability: Invisalign aligners are removable, allowing users to take them out for eating, brushing, and flossing. This feature promotes better oral hygiene compared to fixed braces, which can be challenging to clean around.
- Comfort: Invisalign aligners are made of smooth, comfortable plastic, minimizing the irritation and discomfort often associated with metal brackets and wires in traditional braces.
- Digital Technology: Invisalign utilizes advanced 3D computer imaging technology to create a customized treatment plan. This technology enables patients to visualize the anticipated progress and final results before starting the treatment.
- Predictable Results: The digital planning, coupled with the progression of custom aligners, allows for a more predictable and controlled movement of teeth. Patients typically have a clearer understanding of the expected outcomes.
- Convenience: Invisalign treatment often requires fewer in-person appointments compared to traditional braces, and the aligners are replaced every few weeks at home, reducing the need for frequent office visits.
Invisalign’s clear, removable, and technologically advanced approach to orthodontic treatment sets it apart, offering a comfortable and aesthetically pleasing alternative to conventional braces.
