At Artisan Dental Studio, we understand crooked teeth, smile gaps, an overbite, or an underbite can cause you to hide your smile. Additionally, you may struggle to keep your teeth free of plaque and tartar and experience issues when eating the foods you love comfortably.
If you’re looking for an orthodontic provider that offers clear aligners in San Ramon, CA, our dentist, Dr. Soniya Palan, offers innovative CandidPro™. This relatively new system has helped many patients achieve straighter, healthier smiles without the downsides of traditional metal or tooth-colored clear braces!
Traditional metal or clear braces use brackets and wires to gradually shift teeth, making them highly effective teeth straighteners for correcting complex alignment issues. Because they’re fixed in place, compliance isn’t an issue; however, they can irritate and require food limitations, as well as diligent cleaning with specialized tools.
Clear aligners are removable, nearly invisible trays that are discreet, convenient, and far easier to maintain oral hygiene during treatment. Although clear aligners are ideal for mild to moderate cases, they aren’t a solution for complex bite issues, vertical tooth movements, severely rotated teeth, significant gaps, or midline discrepancies.

During your consultation with Dr. Palan, she’ll examine your teeth, discuss your concerns, and ask about your smile goals. If it’s determined CandidPro is the right straightening option for you, Dr. Palan will explain all the steps involved, as well as the cost and financing options.
Advanced 3-D digital scanning technology is used to create precise impressions of your teeth. Using CandidPro’s software, we’ll look together at a virtual preview of your smile, mapping out the exact movements of your teeth. This enables you to see the desired results before we start treatment!
After your customized aligners are fabricated, they’re delivered to our practice. Our team will have you try on the first set to ensure a comfortable, snug fit. Then we’ll explain the importance of wearing them 20–22 hours a day, when to switch to a new set, and provide tips for removing and cleaning your new clear aligners.
The ProMonitoring™ app allows you to check in with our dental office remotely from home. All you need to do is upload photos of your smile, and Dr. Palan will review them to ensure your treatment is on track, thereby eliminating the need for extra office visits. If you need adjustments or have questions, please don’t hesitate to call us or schedule an office visit.
For less complex cases, CandidPro generally takes 4–12 months to achieve desired alignment, assuming clear aligners are worn diligently.
While CandidPro comes with one bottle of whitening foam to use during teeth straightening, we offer professional teeth whitening as the second phase of treatment. Once both the straightening and whitening phases are complete, we’ll fit you for customized retainers to prevent your teeth from shifting back to their original position.
