A Straighter Smile With Less Disruption
You may want to improve crowding or spacing without drawing attention to your treatment. CandidPro is a clear aligner system that uses a planned series of custom trays instead of brackets and wires. The aligners fit closely over your teeth and can be removed for meals, brushing, and flossing.
Arizona Biltmore Dentistry offers CandidPro in Phoenix. Our dental team reviews your smile goals, oral health, and bite before determining whether this system can provide the movement you need. Your plan is based on your teeth—not a one-size-fits-all mail-order process.
How CandidPro Works
CandidPro treatment starts with precise records of your smile. A 3D digital scan with the practice's 3Shape scanner replaces messy putty impressions and creates a model of your teeth and a sequence of planned movements. You wear each set of aligners as directed before moving to the next set in the series.
Each tray applies gentle, controlled pressure to selected teeth. Progress depends on wearing the trays consistently and completing the check-ins recommended by our team. CandidPro also supports doctor-directed remote monitoring: between office visits you submit scans from home using a phone app, and your dentist can review your progress and tell you when to move to the next tray. That means fewer routine trips to the office without giving up professional oversight.
AI-Powered Oversight With CandidMonitoring
CandidMonitoring gives the doctor real-time oversight on every CandidPro aligner case. At each aligner stage, you use the ProMonitoring app to share detailed scans from home. Candid's FDA-cleared AI analyzes those scans for aligner fit, tooth tracking, hygiene, and scan compliance, helping the clinical team spot a concern before it becomes a bigger interruption to treatment.
The AI supports the dentist; it does not replace the dentist. Your treating dentist remains responsible for your care and uses the monitoring information to decide whether your teeth are ready for the next aligner, whether you should stay in the current tray longer, or whether an in-person visit is needed. You receive guidance as treatment moves forward, while the office maintains a documented view of your progress from multiple angles.

CandidPro Compared With Other Options
CandidPro is one of several ways to straighten teeth. Traditional braces remain useful for many complex movements and do not depend on a patient remembering to wear removable trays. Invisalign is another widely known clear aligner system that uses a series of custom appliances. Our clear aligners overview explains the differences.
The best choice depends on more than appearance. We consider the type of movement needed, your oral health, the treatment timeline, cost, follow-up needs, and whether removable trays fit your habits. If another approach would provide a more predictable result, we will explain why.
Who May Be a Candidate?
CandidPro may be considered for adults and responsible teens with selected crowding, spacing, or bite concerns. Good candidates are willing to wear the trays for the prescribed time, remove them before eating, keep them clean, and attend progress visits.
Before alignment begins, cavities and active gum problems should be addressed. Some complex tooth positions or jaw relationships may require a different treatment. An exam is necessary to know what CandidPro can reasonably accomplish for your smile.
What to Expect With CandidPro
Consultation and Digital Records
Tell us what you would like to change about your smile. Your dentist examines your teeth and bite, reviews your health history, and discusses the available alignment options. A 3D digital scan, photographs, and X-rays capture your current tooth positions with no putty impressions, and these records help determine the movements and number of tray stages that may be needed.
Plan Review
We explain the proposed treatment, estimated timeline, daily wear expectations, visits, and fees. Treatment often takes about 12 to 18 months, though your timeline is individual. You will have time to ask questions before deciding whether to proceed.
Aligner Wear and Remote Monitoring
Once your trays are ready, our team checks the fit and shows you how to insert, remove, clean, and store them. Change trays only on the schedule provided, submit your remote scans as directed, and call if one cracks, is lost, or no longer seats properly.
Refinement and Retention
Near the end of treatment, a fresh scan shows whether any teeth need extra movement; if so, a short set of refinement aligners finishes the job. After active treatment, retainers help keep your teeth from shifting back. Most patients wear them full-time at first and then at night, following the schedule provided by our team.
Questions, Answered
CandidPro FAQs
How Many Hours a Day Should I Wear CandidPro?
Clear aligners generally need near-full-time daily wear to move teeth predictably. Follow the exact schedule our team gives you and remove them only as directed.
Can I Eat With CandidPro Aligners In?
No. Remove the trays before eating or drinking anything other than water. Brush and floss before putting them back in whenever possible.
How Long Does CandidPro Take?
Treatment length varies with the amount and type of tooth movement and how consistently the aligners are worn. Your digital plan provides an individual estimate.
Will CandidPro Affect My Speech?
A slight change is possible when you first begin wearing the trays. Most patients adapt as their tongue becomes accustomed to the aligners.
How Much Does CandidPro Cost?
Cost depends on treatment complexity and duration. Some insurance plans include orthodontic benefits. We review fees, available coverage, and financing before treatment begins.
CandidPro or Invisalign — Which Is Right for Me?
Both use a planned series of removable trays to move teeth. CandidPro is built around doctor-directed remote monitoring, which can suit patients who want fewer routine office visits. Invisalign is another established aligner system with its own planning and follow-up process. The movements your teeth need, your bite, and your preferences all matter, and we will explain the appropriate options after your evaluation.
Is CandidPro Better Than Braces?
Neither is better for everyone. Aligners are discreet, removable, and easier to clean around, but they depend on consistent wear. Braces work without that daily responsibility and can handle some complex movements more predictably. If braces would give you a more reliable result, we will say so.
