Clear Aligners (CandidPro)
How doctor-supervised aligner treatment works.
About alignersStraighter teeth
How can I straighten my teeth?
For most adults with crowding, gaps, or mildly rotated teeth, clear aligners are the practical answer: a series of nearly invisible trays that move teeth a little at a time. Here at Clarity Dental, aligner treatment runs on CandidPro, and Dr. Little supervises from start to finish.
Where aligners shine.
Aligners excel at crowding, spacing, and mild to moderate bite concerns. The trays come out, so you eat normally and clean your teeth without threading around wires, and most people won't notice you're wearing them. Treatment here is doctor-directed, not mail-order: your scan, your plan, and your progress all run through Dr. Little, and you see what's achievable before you commit.
The honest limits? Complex bite problems, severe rotations, and some jaw relationships need more than aligners do well. If yours is one of them, you'll hear that plainly, along with what would work. Wearing the trays as prescribed, most of the day and night, is the one piece only you control, and it decides the timeline. The details live on our CandidPro page.
Is it a fit?
Aligner-ready, or not yet?
Probably a good fit
Crowding, gaps, teeth that shifted after braces years ago, or mild bite concerns. One visit and a scan confirm it.
Let's talk it through
Significant bite problems, severe rotations, or jaw discomfort along with misalignment. You'll get an honest read, and the right referral if needed.
Health before movement
Active gum disease or decay? That comes before moving teeth. Healthy teeth move safely; the plan sequences it.
Straight talk on cost.
Aligner cost depends on how long and complex your case is, quoted in writing after your scan with everything included spelled out. Some PPO plans carry an orthodontic benefit that applies at out-of-network rates, and CareCredit turns the total into monthly payments most budgets can work with.
Aligner questions, answered.
How long does aligner treatment take?
Commonly six to eighteen months, depending on how far your teeth need to move and how consistently you wear the trays. Your plan comes with a realistic timeline, not a wishful one.
Do clear aligners hurt?
Expect pressure for a day or two with each new tray. That's your teeth moving, and it fades. Most people find it very manageable.
Why CandidPro instead of a mail-order kit?
Supervision. A dentist examines your teeth first, plans the movement, and monitors progress, which protects you from moving teeth over hidden problems. You get convenience with accountability.
Will my teeth stay straight afterward?
With retainer wear, yes. Teeth have long memories, and nightly retainers are the honest price of keeping the result. Retention is planned from day one.
