CandidPro Clear Aligners Dentist Kalamazoo, MI
Are you self-conscious about your smile? If you have crooked teeth, CandidPro™ clear aligners can help!
Dr. Bandos is our CandidPro clear aligner dentist in Kalamazoo, MI. She has years of experience in helping patients achieve the smile of their dreams. With CandidPro, Dr. Bandos can straighten your teeth and give your confidence back, all without wires, bands, or brackets.
What is CandidPro?
CandidPro is a series of nearly invisible clear aligners that exert gentle pressure on your teeth to move them into optimal alignment. Dr. Bandos will use advanced computer imaging technology to plan out your cosmetic dentistry treatment so you can enjoy a beautifully straight smile. The clear dental aligners are customized to fit your teeth and will move them little by little. You move through the series one aligner at a time, on the schedule Dr. Bandos sets for your case.
Why choose CandidPro?
Many of our adult patients prefer the look of clear aligners to traditional metal braces. CandidPro is so subtle that most people aren’t able to tell that you are wearing them unless they get up close.
CandidPro also makes it easy to maintain good oral hygiene because you don’t have to brush and floss around wires and brackets.
Instead, you are able to remove your CandidPro aligners so you can brush and floss normally. Since CandidPro aligners are removable, you also don’t have to worry about eliminating certain foods from your diet. To learn more about the benefits of CandidPro, we recommend scheduling an appointment with Dr. Bandos, our CandidPro provider.

Are CandidPro clear aligners expensive?
There are many factors that determine the cost of clear aligner treatment, which include length of treatment and the difficulty of your case. Dr. Bandos will go over your exact cost with you at your consultation. We also offer payment plans so you can make affordable monthly payments.
How often will I see my dentist during treatment?
Fewer times than you would with braces. Instead of coming in before every aligner change, you send Dr. Bandos a scan of your teeth every 7 to 14 days using the ProMonitoring app, and she tells you when to move to your next set of CandidPro aligners. She will still see you in person when your treatment calls for it.
How often should I wear the aligners?
Plan on wearing your CandidPro aligners about 22 hours a day. You take them out to eat, to drink anything hot, and to brush and floss.
Do clear aligners hurt?
Since CandidPro exerts pressure on your teeth, you will experience some dental discomfort in the first couple of days of wearing a new set of aligners. However, many of our patients feel that the temporary pain is worth having straighter teeth. After all, the pressure you feel on your teeth is a sign that they are moving according to plan. We recommend taking over-the-counter pain medications like ibuprofen in the first couple days after wearing new aligners to manage pain.
