CandidPro allows us to offer clear aligner therapy that is more accessible and efficient for our patients.
The first step towards your new smile is a one on one consultation with your dentist in Long Branch. They’ll examine your teeth and gums, discuss your orthodontic goals, and help decide if Clear Aligner Therapy is right for you. We’ll use dental putty or digital scans to create impressions of your mouth, and show you a digital mockup to give you a sneak peek of what your new smile will look like.
You’ll return to the office once we receive your first few sets of aligners. You’ll try them on and we’ll make any necessary adjustments. Your doctor will provide instructions on how to wear them for the best results. Most patients are instructed to wear them for 20-22 hours a day. Every two weeks or so, you’ll also switch out the aligners for the next set.
Instead of returning to the office every 6 weeks for follow-ups, your progress can be monitored from the comfort of your home through Dental Monitoring™. Using patented technology, you simply take scans of your teeth with your smartphone. This allows us to review your progress on a weekly basis and track treatment without requiring frequent in-office visits.
Once your treatment has been completed, you’ll receive a set of Clear Aligner retainers to ensure your beautiful new smile stays straight. These retainers look similar to clear aligners, but their durability makes them better suited for long-term use, as they can handle excessive pressure without breaking down. Wearing your retainers nightly will keep your teeth straight for years to come.
Candid Pro uses fewer attachments to help support better tooth health.
CandidPro aligners are custom-made using detailed digital scans of your teeth to ensure a precise, personalized fit. They are fabricated from medical-grade, BPA-free thermoplastic designed to be durable, comfortable, and nearly invisible when worn. The system is FDA-cleared for orthodontic treatment, offering a safe and effective way to straighten teeth without traditional braces.
CandidPro offers a discreet and effective solution for straightening teeth for patients throughout Eatontown, Deal, Highlands, Allenhurst, Interlaken, West Long Branch, Long Branch, Atlantic Highlands, and Oakhurst, NJ. These clear aligners are designed to be virtually invisible, making them a comfortable alternative to traditional metal braces.
Clear aligner therapy is removable, allowing for easier oral hygiene and the ability to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions. At Saka Dental Spa, Dr. Sammy Saka customizes each treatment plan to meet your individual needs, helping you achieve a straighter, healthier smile efficiently and comfortably.
One of the key benefits of clear aligner therapy is its ease of use and maintenance. To keep your aligners clean, gently brush them with a soft toothbrush each time you brush your teeth. When you’re on the go, you can simply rinse them with lukewarm water.
It’s important to avoid hot water or abrasive cleaners, as these can warp or damage the plastic and affect the effectiveness of your treatment. For a deeper clean, specialized cleaning systems designed for aligners are also available to help maintain freshness and clarity throughout treatment.
Clear aligner systems are designed to be discreet while worn, with most people barely noticing them. The transparent material blends naturally with your teeth, and there are no metal brackets or wires to draw attention.
Each set is custom-made for a precise, comfortable fit and trimmed to sit neatly along the gumline, helping maintain a natural appearance throughout treatment. Compared to some other systems, fewer attachments are required, which can further enhance aesthetics during care.
In most cases, the cost of clear aligner therapy is comparable to traditional braces, though pricing varies based on your individual treatment needs. A personalized treatment plan and exact cost can be determined during a free consultation.
Many insurance plans also provide coverage for orthodontic treatment, so it’s a good idea to contact your provider to review your specific benefits. Flexible payment options may also be available to help make treatment more accessible.
Most CAT patients achieve their desired results in just 12-18 months!
