At Acacia Dental, Dr. Aaron Jeziorski and our dedicated team understand that achieving a straight, beautiful smile shouldn't disrupt your daily life. That's why we're proud to offer CandidPro clear aligners to our Tempe patients. Our office provides the best orthodontic care using this innovative technology that fits seamlessly into your busy lifestyle.
What Is CandidPro?
CandidPro is a revolutionary clear aligner system that straightens your teeth using a series of custom-made, virtually invisible plastic trays. Each aligner is designed specifically for your mouth and gradually shifts your teeth into their optimal positions over time. Unlike traditional braces, CandidPro aligners are removable, comfortable, and nearly undetectable when worn.
The process begins with advanced 3D imaging technology that maps your current tooth positions and creates a precise treatment plan. Dr. Jeziorski carefully reviews each step of your orthodontic journey, ensuring you receive personalized care tailored to your unique needs. Each set of aligners is worn for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next stage of treatment.
Is CandidPro Better Than Braces?
Many patients near our Tempe office find CandidPro offers significant advantages over traditional metal braces:
Discreet Appearance: The clear aligners are virtually invisible, allowing you to smile confidently throughout your treatment.
Enhanced Comfort: Smooth plastic eliminates the irritation often caused by metal brackets and wires.
Lifestyle Flexibility: Remove your aligners for eating, drinking, brushing, and special occasions without restrictions.
Improved Oral Hygiene: Easy removal means you can maintain your regular brushing and flossing routine without navigating around brackets and wires.
Predictable Results: Advanced technology allows Dr. Jeziorski to show you your expected results before treatment even begins.
While CandidPro is excellent for many cases, our doctor will evaluate your specific orthodontic needs during your consultation to determine the best treatment approach for your situation.
