Straightening your smile has become more convenient with clear aligner treatment. While traditional braces remain suitable for many patients, adults and teens may prefer Invisalign because the aligners are clear, comfortable, and designed around their daily routines.
Patients may also come across CandidPro when researching clear aligners. However, CandidPro is no longer presented as a completely do-it-yourself treatment. It currently provides doctor-directed aligner treatment with a combination of professional supervision and remote progress monitoring.
Before choosing an aligner system, it is important to compare the treatment process, level of supervision, technology, cost, and access to in-person care.
What Is CandidPro?
CandidPro is a clear aligner system provided through participating dental professionals. Treatment includes custom aligners, doctor-directed planning, and progress monitoring that may take place virtually.
CandidPro states that patients generally receive remote oversight every one to two weeks through its teledentistry app. However, the exact treatment process depends on the participating provider.
What Is Invisalign?
Invisalign uses a customized series of clear aligners to gradually move the teeth. At Bagnall Family Dentistry, treatment is planned and monitored by Dr. Matt Bagnall and supported by modern digital scanning technology.
Patients can meet directly with the dental team, ask questions, have their progress evaluated, and receive adjustments when necessary.
Benefits of CandidPro
Remote Progress Monitoring
CandidPro uses an app that allows patients to submit progress records and receive remote monitoring between appointments.
Doctor-Directed Treatment
Treatment is planned through a participating dental professional with support from CandidPro’s orthodontic network.
Clear Custom Aligners
The aligners are customized for the patient and designed to address crowding and certain common bite concerns.
Fewer Routine Office Visits
Remote monitoring may reduce the number of routine in-person visits required during treatment.
Important Considerations Before Choosing CandidPro
Provider Availability
Patients must locate a dental professional who offers CandidPro. Treatment options and the level of in-person care may differ between providers.
Remote Monitoring
Virtual monitoring may be convenient, but some patients prefer regular face-to-face evaluations and direct access to their dental team.
Treatment Limitations
Not every alignment or bite concern can be treated with the same clear aligner system. A complete examination is necessary to determine whether CandidPro, Invisalign, braces, or another option is appropriate.
Additional Dental Needs
Cavities, gum disease, damaged teeth, or other oral health problems may need to be treated before clear aligner therapy begins.
Treatment Adjustments
Patients should understand how refinements, lost trays, damaged aligners, attachments, and unexpected tooth movements will be managed before starting treatment.
Benefits of Choosing Invisalign at Bagnall Family Dentistry
In-Person Dental Evaluation
Dr. Matt Bagnall can examine your teeth, gums, bite, and overall oral health before recommending treatment. This helps identify dental concerns that may affect the safety or success of tooth movement.
Digital Treatment Planning
Bagnall Family Dentistry uses advanced digital scanning technology to create accurate images of the teeth without traditional messy impressions.
Personalized Supervision
Patients can speak directly with Dr. Bagnall and the dental team throughout treatment. Progress can be evaluated in person, and the treatment plan can be adjusted when necessary.
Comprehensive Dental Care
Because Bagnall Family Dentistry provides general, restorative, cosmetic, and implant dentistry, the team can consider your complete oral health when planning Invisalign treatment.
Clear Treatment Instructions
Bagnall Family Dentistry instructs patients to wear their Invisalign trays throughout the day and night, including while eating and sleeping. The trays should only be removed when cleaning the teeth or aligners.
Patients should minimize sugary and acidic intake and avoid strongly staining foods such as turmeric, mustard, and foods containing yellow dyes.
Local and Accessible Care
Patients have a local dental team available if an aligner breaks, a tray is lost, an attachment comes off, or unexpected discomfort develops.

- Invisalign at Bagnall Family Dentistry: Treatment is planned and monitored directly by Dr. Matt Bagnall, with in-person care available throughout the process.
Technology
- CandidPro: Uses custom clear aligners and app-based progress tracking.

Treatment Suitability
Both systems may address certain alignment and bite concerns. The appropriate option depends on the complexity of the case, the patient’s oral health, and the recommended treatment plan.
Support During Treatment
CandidPro patients work with a participating provider and use remote monitoring tools. Bagnall Family Dentistry patients can contact the local office directly when they have questions or treatment concerns.
Invisalign Pricing at Bagnall Family Dentistry
Bagnall Family Dentistry currently lists a lowest-total-cost Invisalign option of $3,279.
The practice also provides several payment choices, including financing and an in-office payment plan. Financing terms, eligibility requirements, insurance benefits, and total costs vary. Patients should confirm the current details directly with the office before beginning treatment.
Why Professional Monitoring Matters
Clear aligners move teeth by applying controlled pressure. Before treatment begins, a dental professional should evaluate the health of the teeth, gums, supporting bone, and bite.
Professional monitoring also helps the dentist identify whether the teeth are moving according to plan. If an aligner stops fitting properly or the treatment is not progressing as expected, the dentist can determine the appropriate next step.
Remote monitoring can be useful, but it does not replace every type of in-person dental examination.
