Straighten your teeth discreetly with Candid Pro clear aligners and personal care from Dr. Will Church
Straight teeth should not require a mouth full of metal, a calendar full of adjustment visits, or a smile you hide in photos. Crowding, gaps, and bite concerns keep plenty of adults from starting treatment because traditional braces never seemed to fit a busy life, and that hesitation makes sense.
At Church Family Dentistry & Cosmetics, Dr. Will Church offers Candid Pro clear aligners as part of our cosmetic dentistry services for Carrboro patients. We combine discreet treatment, digital planning, and a personal approach, so you can straighten your teeth without putting your life on hold, and our Durham office is only about 25 minutes away via US-501 Business.
Candid Pro aligners are made from ZenduraFLX, a medical-grade, BPA-free material that is virtually invisible when worn. You remove them to eat, drink, brush, and floss, which means no food restrictions and no struggle to clean around brackets and wires.
Support behind each case is what sets Candid Pro apart. A U.S.-based orthodontist helps Dr. Church plan every case and double-checks the details, and the system uses fewer attachments than other well-known aligner systems, which patients appreciate. You can read more about how Candid Pro compares with other aligner systems on our blog. Research also offers encouraging support, as a 2020 systematic review found clear aligners can produce clinically acceptable results comparable to fixed braces for some tooth movements in mild to moderate cases.
Every Candid Pro case includes free at-home monitoring through the ProMonitoring app. Every two weeks, you scan your teeth with your phone and send the images to Dr. Church, and the system flags any tracking issues right away. That built-in oversight keeps treatment on schedule and reduces the number of trips you make to our office, which matters when you are driving in from Carrboro. Our post on at-home monitoring with clear aligners explains how it works.
Most cases take 12 to 18 months, though mild cases may finish sooner, and Dr. Church will give you an estimated timeline after reviewing your scans. Plan to wear your aligners 20 to 22 hours a day, removing them only to eat and clean your teeth. Once treatment ends, free refinements are included for up to three years, so any fine-tuning is already covered.
Dr. Church reviews your goals, scans your teeth digitally, and uses cone beam 3D imaging when appropriate to build a complete picture. You preview your expected results before committing.
Treatment simulation software maps each stage of tooth movement, and your aligners are designed from precise digital measurements.
You receive your first aligners along with clear instructions for wear and care, then scan your teeth from home every two weeks while we track your progress.
Custom retainers protect your results after treatment, and we walk you through long-term care so your straight smile lasts for years to come.
Digital scanning replaces messy impressions with a precise 3D model of your teeth in minutes. When appropriate, our cone beam imaging shows roots and surrounding bone, the same advanced dental technology we rely on for complex cases, so your plan rests on complete information.
Healthy gums and teeth make for the best results. We confirm your foundation is sound first, and a routine dental exam and cleaning is often all that is needed. Straighter teeth are also easier to clean, which lowers your risk of cavities and gum disease over time. If your concerns include color, shape, or surface flaws that aligners cannot fix, porcelain veneers can complement your results.
We offer financing through Cherry, Sunbit, and Proceed, with payment plans designed to fit a range of budgets. We also accept HSA and FSA funds, and some dental plans include orthodontic benefits that may apply to Candid Pro treatment.
Candid Pro typically costs in a similar range to traditional braces, and the included monitoring and free refinements add lasting value. Our team will help you understand your coverage before treatment begins, so there are no surprises.
Dr. Will Church puts listening first. With his training at UNC, membership in the American Academy of Implant Dentistry, and a passion for modern technology, he creates plans around your goals. We are a fee-for-service practice, so our recommendations reflect what you need, not what insurance happens to cover.
Our office sits right next to Duke Regional Hospital, with on-site parking, and the drive from Carrboro is simple and straightforward. We aim to make the planning process unhurried and personal, so the trip feels worthwhile.
Most people feel mild pressure when switching to a new set, which fades within a day or two and is typically gentler than the soreness associated with tightening traditional braces. Smooth plastic also avoids the irritation that metal brackets and wires can cause.
Remove them for all eating and drinking except plain water, then brush before putting them back. Rinse them with lukewarm water and clean them daily with a soft toothbrush and gentle, unscented soap, since hot water can warp the plastic.
Candid Pro gives Carrboro patients a discreet, flexible way to straighten their teeth, backed by U.S.-based orthodontist oversight, free at-home monitoring, and three years of free refinements. Dr. Church reviews every case individually and will tell you honestly if a different approach would serve you better.
