If your teeth are a little crooked, your dentist will be happy to help you explore your treatment options. Depending on your circumstances, they might recommend that you either get veneers<\/a> or CandidPro clear aligners. How do these two options compare, and which should you use to straighten your teeth<\/a>? This blog post aims to give you an idea of which one might be best for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

They can only hide very minor orthodontic issues, such as slight crookedness, small gaps between the teeth, or a minor open bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While this can take several months or longer, CandidPro has the major advantage of actually correcting misalignment instead of simply hiding it. Many patients also like the fact that the aligners are very discreet and provide a more convenient treatment experience than traditional metal braces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
