    Do Any of These Sound Familiar?

    If you’ve ever hesitated before a photo or kept your lips closed during a laugh, you’re not alone. Many people feel held back by teeth that never quite lined up the way they’d hoped. Those feelings are more common than you might think.
  • Covering your mouth when you smile or laugh
  • Avoiding photos because of how your teeth look
  • Feeling self-conscious meeting new people
  • Staying quiet so no one notices your teeth
  • Putting off straightening because of braces concerns
  • Feeling like the moment to fix it has passed you by
  • You've likely thought about doing something about it before. There's a comfortable, discreet option that fits right into your daily routine.

    The Longer You Wait, the Longer You Wait

  • Confidence on Pause

    Another year passes before feeling good about your smile.

  • Missed Opportunities

    Job interviews, first impressions, and photos keep happening.

  • Habit Deepens

    Hiding your smile becomes automatic, not occasional.

  • Treatment Time Grows

    Delayed starts often mean longer correction timelines.

  • Self-Consciousness Spreads

    What bothers you now tends to bother you more over time.

  • The "Right Time" Moves

    There's rarely a perfect moment unless you create one.

  • Starting sooner means reaching your new smile sooner.

    What Are CandidPro Clear Aligners?

    CandidPro clear aligners are a modern orthodontic system that uses a series of custom-made, removable trays to gradually shift teeth into better alignment. Each tray is crafted from smooth, BPA-free plastic and worn over your teeth throughout the day. You swap to a new set every one to two weeks, and your teeth respond to the gentle, consistent pressure. The system is designed for adults and teens seeking a discreet alternative to traditional wire-and-bracket orthodontics, and it addresses a range of concerns including crowding, spacing, and mild to moderate bite issues.

    Treatment at Raleigh Dental Arts begins with digital 3D scanning technology that captures precise images of your teeth without messy impression materials. Those scans feed directly into the planning process, where your entire tooth movement sequence is mapped out before your aligners are ever made. For patients considering CandidPro clear aligners in Raleigh, NC, this level of pre-treatment visualization means you can see where your smile is headed before you commit.

  • Treatment typically ranges from 6 to 18 months depending on individual needs
  • Aligners should be worn 20 to 22 hours per day for optimal results
  • According to the AAO, clear aligner use among adults has grown significantly over the past decade
  • Transformations That Last

    Watch real patients share how their dental journey restored not just their smiles, but their quality of life. These personal stories capture the relief and joy that come with comprehensive, caring treatment.

    Is CandidPro Right for Your Smile?

    Many patients wonder if their situation actually calls for aligners or if the timing is right. The truth is that CandidPro is a good fit for a wider range of people than most expect, including adults who dismissed orthodontics years ago and teens who want a more comfortable option.
  • Want to straighten your teeth without metal braces or wires
  • Have mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or alignment concerns
  • Currently wearing a retainer from previous treatment but have noticed shifting
  • Have been told in the past that your case wasn't severe enough for traditional braces
  • Want to maintain your normal routine while your teeth improve
  • Not Sure if You Qualify?

    Many patients assume they aren’t candidates, only to find out they are. A CandidPro consultation gives you a clear picture of your options and exactly what your treatment could look like.

    Your CandidPro Clear Aligner Process, Step by Step

    We hear from patients all the time that they were surprised by how straightforward the process was. Every step is planned around your comfort, and we walk alongside you from your first visit to your final result.
    1

    Your Smile Consultation

    You'll sit down with our team to talk through your smile goals and what's been on your mind about your teeth. We take time to understand what you want to achieve, answer your questions honestly, and help you decide whether CandidPro is the right fit before anything else moves forward.

    2

    Digital Scanning and Treatment Planning

    Using advanced 3D scanning technology, we capture precise images of your teeth without any messy impression materials. Your treatment plan is then mapped digitally, giving you the chance to see exactly how your teeth are expected to move and what your projected outcome will look like. This step is where your personalized aligner series takes shape.

    3

    Your Custom Aligners Arrive

    Once your aligners are produced, you'll return to pick them up and get a thorough walkthrough of how to wear, switch, and care for your trays. You'll leave knowing exactly what to do from day one, with your full treatment series in hand and a clear schedule to follow.

    4

    Wearing Your Aligners Through Treatment

    You'll wear each set of trays for one to two weeks before moving to the next. Progress check-ins allow us to monitor how your teeth are responding and keep everything moving as planned. You can remove your aligners to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss, so your daily routine stays essentially unchanged.

    5

    Your Results and What Comes Next

    When your final aligner is behind you, we'll evaluate your new alignment and discuss next steps including retention, which helps preserve everything you've worked toward. Your smile at this stage reflects months of consistent progress, and we make sure you leave with a clear plan for keeping it.

    CandidPro Clear Aligners vs. Traditional Braces

    When patients are considering orthodontic treatment, traditional braces often come to mind as the only option. Both systems can produce excellent results, and the right choice depends on your specific alignment needs, lifestyle preferences, and how you want to experience the process.
    Factor CandidPro Clear Aligners Traditional Braces
    Visibility Nearly invisible trays Metal brackets and wires
    Removability Fully removable Fixed throughout treatment
    Comfort Smooth plastic, no wires Can cause cheek and gum irritation
    Oral Hygiene Brush and floss normally Requires special tools and techniques
    Dietary Restrictions None while aligners are removed Multiple food restrictions
    Ideal Candidate Mild to moderate alignment issues Mild to severe alignment issues
    Check-In Frequency Every 6 to 8 weeks Typically every 4 to 6 weeks
    Treatment Time 6 to 18 months typically 18 to 36 months typically

    Most patients complete their treatment in six to eighteen months, though the timeline varies based on the complexity of each case. During your planning appointment, you’ll get a clearer picture of what to expect for your individual situation.
    Some patients notice a slight adjustment period during the first few days of wearing a new set of trays. Most people find that any speech difference resolves quickly as they get used to the fit, typically within a day or two.
    For the best outcome, aligners should be worn twenty to twenty-two hours per day. You’ll remove them to eat, drink anything other than water, brush, and floss. Consistency is the biggest factor in keeping your treatment on schedule.

    I haven’t even been to my first appt. yet but already feel like this is going to be a great fit for me. Called today to book the 1st appt. and spoke with Mariah who was extremely knowledgeable and professional. She answered all my questions and then some. I look forward to meeting her and the rest of the staff. I know that people normally don’t leave a review when they haven’t even been to a place yet but if Mariah is any indication of the how the rest of the staff is then I am in!!!
