Align Your Bite With CandidPro & Invisalign Aligners
Clear aligners not only reposition your teeth but can improve how your mouth functions and how your body feels. Proper alignment can relieve TMJ symptoms, reduce clenching, create space for healthy breathing, and help your bite function more naturally.
We proudly offer CandidPro and Invisalign. These precise, tech-forward aligner systems combine flexibility with expert clinical guidance. Your treatment begins with advanced digital imaging and 3-D scans. Dr. Kaady will assess your airway, tooth position, and jaw alignment using a holistic diagnostic approach that supports both aesthetics and function.
Each aligner is crafted to fit your unique anatomy and treatment phase. As you move through the process, your trays will shift your teeth toward a healthier, more stable bite, without the discomfort or visibility of traditional braces.
With either CandidPro or Invisalign, you can expect:
- Trays custom-designed for your teeth, bite, and treatment plan
- Improved bite function and support for jaw comfort and airway health
- Discreet appearance that blends into your everyday life
- Freedom to remove aligners for meals, oral care, and special occasions
- Visual tracking tools that show your projected progress and outcomes
- A lifestyle-friendly solution that works with your routine, not against it
For the best results, you'll wear your aligners for 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them briefly to eat and clean your teeth. No food restrictions. No bulky hardware. Just a healthier, more balanced smile, guided by a dentist who understands the bigger picture of your well-being.

Common Questions About Clear Aligners
Are clear aligners visible?
Clear aligners are designed to be discreet. Made from smooth, medical-grade plastic, they fit snugly over your teeth and are virtually invisible in everyday interactions. Unlike traditional metal braces, clear aligners allow you to straighten your teeth without drawing attention or interrupting your professional or social life. They're a comfortable, low-profile option for patients who want to improve their smile without the visual impact of brackets and wires.
How do clear aligners work?
Clear aligners gradually shift your teeth into better alignment using a custom-designed series of trays. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next in the sequence. Dr. Kaady uses detailed digital scans and airway-aware planning to ensure each stage of movement supports your bite function and long-term comfort. As you progress through treatment, your teeth will move gently and predictably. In just a few months, you can expect to see a noticeable improvement in alignment, function, and overall confidence.
Are clear aligners uncomfortable?
Clear aligners are designed for comfort. Unlike metal braces, they have no wires or sharp edges that irritate your cheeks or gums. You may feel slight pressure or mild sensitivity when starting a new set. This simply means your aligners are working to gently shift your teeth. Dr. Kaady customizes your aligner plan with precision to ensure each stage of movement is gradual, predictable, and as comfortable as possible.
