The Clear Choice For A Straighter Smile

Want straighter teeth but not the inconvenience of braces? If the thought of metal brackets, food restrictions, and frequent office visits has kept you from pursuing orthodontic treatment, clear aligners could be the perfect solution.

At Drs. Brown, Gettings, & Gade in West Chester, OH, we help patients achieve beautiful, confident smiles with CandidPro clear aligners—without the discomfort or inconvenience of traditional braces. Even Dr. Brown and his mom recently went through this process together, so they know exactly what the experience is like!

If you’re thinking about straightening your teeth but don’t want to deal with braces, here’s why clear aligners might be the better fit for you.

Practically Invisible, So You Can Smile with Confidence

One of the biggest reasons adults hesitate to straighten their teeth is the look of traditional braces. Metal brackets and wires can feel distracting, especially in professional or social settings. CandidPro clear aligners are a discreet way to straighten your teeth. The aligner trays are made from thin, clear plastic and are almost impossible to see when they’re in place. During meetings, in photos, or hanging out with friends, treatment stays between the patient and the dentist.

More Comfort, Less Hassle

Braces work by tightening wires and brackets to move teeth, which can cause discomfort, especially after adjustments. Clear aligners, on the other hand, use gentle, consistent pressure to guide teeth into place. Because they’re custom made for your teeth, clear aligners feel smooth and comfortable—no metal to poke your cheeks or irritate your gums. You simply wear each set for a couple of weeks before moving on to the next, allowing for gradual, gentle adjustments.

Eat What You Love Without Restrictions

If you’ve ever known someone with braces, you’ve probably heard about the long list of foods they have to avoid—popcorn, crunchy vegetables, chewy bread, and anything sticky. With clear aligners, there are no food restrictions because you simply remove them when you eat. If you want to enjoy an apple, a handful of nuts, or a sticky caramel treat, go for it—just pop your aligners back in after you brush.

Easier to Keep Your Teeth Clean

Brushing and flossing around brackets and wires takes extra time and effort, and food can easily get trapped in hard-to-reach places. Clear aligners make oral hygiene simple: Just remove them, brush and floss like normal, and put them back in. No special tools or techniques are required.

Fewer Office Visits, More Flexibility

Traditional braces require frequent adjustments, which means more trips to the dentist or orthodontist. Clear aligners fit into your schedule, with fewer in-person checkups needed. With CandidPro clear aligners, you can even check in remotely using your smartphone, so your dentist can monitor your progress without extra trips to the office. That means fewer office visits and more time enjoying life while your teeth gradually straighten.
