CandidPro clear aligners is similar to traditional braces, but without the metal brackets and wires. Instead, Morningside Dental Care creates custom-made clear aligners that gradually shift your teeth into the desired position. Your journey to straighter teeth can be kept private. Plus, for our wellness-conscious patients, CandidPro Aligners are made of clear, BPA-free plastic, so you don’t have to worry about the safety of having them in your mouth all day. This subtle process yields dramatic results!
Clear aligners can do most of the work that traditional braces do, but with a lower profile. Talk to our Morningside Heights dentist if you have issues with:
The CandidPro clear aligners treatment process begins with a consultation at our central Harlem dentist office. We’ll talk about what you want out of the process, whether it’s straighter teeth, a better bite, or just an improved appearance. All reasons are valid. Our dentist will then take digital x-rays, iTero™ scans, photos, and impressions of your teeth to create a 3D image of your mouth. We use this image to create a treatment plan that projects your progress over time, showing the movement of your teeth and telling us the length of your treatment.
Once your aligners are ready, you wear them for 20-22 hours a day, removing them only to eat and brush your teeth. Every two weeks, we’ll provide you with a new set of aligners, which will continue to shift your teeth into the desired position. The length of treatment varies for each person, but typically ranges from 6-18 months for a brand new look.
The cost of clear aligners varies depending on each person’s treatment plan and the length of treatment. On average, the cost is up to $5,500. However, many dental insurance plans may cover CandidPro treatment, so be sure to check with us to see if you are eligible for coverage. We accept most insurance plans. Even if your insurer doesn’t cover aligners, we have other financing options to make a straighter smile more affordable.
