CandidPro Clear Aligners in Carmel, IN
Straighter teeth without brackets or wires, supervised by your dentist rather than an app alone.
Crooked or crowded teeth are not just a cosmetic matter. Teeth that overlap are harder to clean, wear unevenly, and can strain the bite. For many adults, the thing that kept them from doing anything about it was the thought of metal braces. Clear aligners removed that obstacle, and CandidPro is the aligner system Smile Arts Dental trusts.
How CandidPro works
CandidPro aligners are thin, clear trays made of ZenduraFLX polymer, custom-made from a precise digital scan of your teeth. Each tray moves your teeth a small, planned amount; worn in sequence, they walk your smile to its new position. The trays are nearly invisible in conversation and come out for meals and brushing, so nothing about your routine has to change.
Treatment here is dentist-supervised from the first scan. Dr. Balaban plans the movement, checks the fit, and stays responsible for the result. Between visits, the ProMonitoring app lets the practice review your progress from a weekly phone scan, which means fewer trips to the office without less supervision. It is the opposite of the mail-order aligner model, where no dentist ever looks in your mouth.
Who aligners suit
Aligners handle most crowding, spacing, and mild-to-moderate bite concerns in adults and older teens. Some situations still call for other approaches, and the consultation will tell you honestly which camp you are in. Orthodontic insurance benefits, HSA, and FSA dollars can often be applied toward treatment.
What patients notice
The first thing most patients report is how quickly the trays disappear from their awareness. The second is the day someone asks whether they have done something different with their smile.
If you have been quietly wanting straighter teeth for years, the conversation is short and the scan is painless. Smile Arts Dental provides CandidPro treatment for patients from Carmel, Westfield, Zionsville, and north Indianapolis.
Common questions
How is CandidPro different from mail-order aligners? +
Supervision. Treatment starts with an in-person scan and exam, Dr. Balaban plans and oversees the tooth movement, and progress is monitored through the ProMonitoring app between visits. Mail-order aligner companies never have a dentist look in your mouth, which is how bite problems get missed.
How long do I wear the aligners each day? +
Aligners do their work when they are on your teeth, so they are worn essentially all day and night, coming out for meals, brushing, and flossing. Because they are clear and removable, most patients find them easy to live with within the first week.
Will clear aligners work for my teeth? +
Aligners handle most crowding, spacing, and mild to moderate bite concerns in adults and older teens. Some situations still call for other approaches, and the consultation will tell you honestly which group you are in before you commit to anything.
Can I use insurance or HSA funds for aligners? +
Often, yes. Orthodontic insurance benefits, HSA dollars, and FSA dollars can typically be applied toward clear aligner treatment, and financing options can spread the remainder into monthly amounts. The front desk will help you sort out what your plan covers.
