CandidPro in Phoenix, AZ

At Arizona Biltmore Dentistry, Dr. Aaron Jeziorski and our team are committed to providing the best orthodontic care to help you achieve the smile you've always wanted. Located conveniently in Phoenix, our office offers CandidPro clear aligners as an innovative solution for straightening teeth without the hassle of traditional braces.

What Is CandidPro?

CandidPro is a cutting-edge clear aligner system designed to gradually move your teeth into their ideal positions. Unlike traditional metal braces, CandidPro uses a series of custom-made, nearly invisible plastic aligners that fit snugly over your teeth. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next set in the series.

The beauty of CandidPro lies in its convenience and discretion. These aligners are removable, allowing you to eat, drink, brush, and floss normally throughout your treatment. Dr. Jeziorski will work closely with you to develop a personalized treatment plan that addresses your specific orthodontic needs while fitting seamlessly into your lifestyle.

Is CandidPro Better Than Braces?

When comparing CandidPro to traditional braces, many patients find significant advantages with the clear aligner system:

Aesthetic Appeal: CandidPro aligners are virtually invisible, making them an excellent choice for adults and teens who want to maintain a professional appearance during treatment.

Comfort: The smooth plastic material eliminates the metal brackets and wires that can cause irritation to your cheeks and gums.

Convenience: Removable aligners mean no dietary restrictions and easier oral hygiene maintenance.

Fewer Office Visits: CandidPro typically requires fewer adjustment appointments compared to traditional braces.

However, Dr. Jeziorski will evaluate your specific case during your consultation near our Phoenix office to determine if CandidPro is the right choice for your orthodontic needs.

Alternatives to Clear Aligners

While CandidPro is an excellent option for many patients, Dr. Jeziorski may recommend other treatments based on your individual situation:

Traditional Metal Braces: Still the gold standard for complex orthodontic cases
Ceramic Braces: Tooth-colored brackets that are less noticeable than metal
Invisalign: Another clear aligner system with similar benefits to CandidPro
Retainers: For minor adjustments or post-treatment maintenance

Our doctor will discuss all available options during your consultation to ensure you receive the most appropriate care for your needs and budget.
