Invisalign Braces

There are many reasons why people want to straighten their teeth. The most common reasons are: for better appearance, more ease of flossing or brushing, and for better chewing function long term.
The American Association of Orthodontists recommends that adults have their teeth evaluated by an orthodontist at least once every 10 years. Many adults are candidates to straighten their teeth, even in late adulthood.

Straightening teeth is a great option for improving the appearance of your smile. Straight teeth are easier to clean and maintain, which is beneficial for both adults and children. For adults, straight teeth are also better for chewing food properly.
Straightening teeth can be done by braces (traditional metal braces) or clear aligners (aligners that use clear plastic to guide teeth into position, like CandidPro).
Straightening your teeth with clear aligners like CandidPro is a time-tested way of realizing these goals, and may be the best option for you if you’re considering orthodontic treatment.
For many, teeth straightening is an investment in their future. The benefits of straightening teeth can extend life and improve quality of life.

One of the most common reasons for wanting straighter teeth is appearance. The improvement in an individual’s appearance can be dramatic. More often than not, people who have straighter teeth are seen as being more attractive, confident, and healthier.

Most adults are candidates to straighten their teeth, even in late adulthood. Traditional braces with brackets and wires are still a good option, but many people want something less noticeable. That’s where clear aligners really shine.

Benefits Of CandidPro Clear Aligners

CandidPro, and many other similar companies, offer an option to straighten teeth with clear tooth trays (aligners) that are barely noticeable. Clear aligners are a great alternative to regular braces and we are happy to be able to offer this to our patients. And the best part is that they’re removable and adjustable!
CandidPro is a new way to get straighter teeth without the use of metal braces. The CandidPro treatment starts with a series of impressions made from mouthwash or pressed against a dental mold. These impressions are then analyzed by a CandidPro specialist who creates a treatment plan that is personalized to the patient’s needs and goals. This plan can include up to 50 different aligners that gradually move teeth into place.

A recent study found that up to 86% of adults with crooked teeth could benefit from CandidPro treatment. Just like traditional braces, this treatment straightens teeth without the need for metal brackets and wires. But unlike traditional braces, this treatment is virtually invisible with the only evidence left behind being straighter teeth.

This revolutionary treatment is offered by most orthodontists and can be tailored to each individual’s needs. CandidPro treatment can straighten your teeth in as little as 6 months!
For some patients, clear aligners are a better option than braces. The aligners are made of clear plastic and are removable, which means they can be taken out to eat or brush their teeth. This also means that there is no metal hardware to make them less noticeable under the patient’s clothes.

This is an outstanding dental office! The staff is friendly, knowledgeable and totally professional. The technicians are fantastic and the Doctor is 1st class. This office is located right off Main Street on Highway P in O'Fallon Missouri. Just a little bit north of Highway 70.

I absolutely love everything about Northside Family Dentistry! All of the hygienist are funny, caring, and really listen when you tell them what is going on prior to seeing the dentist himself. I love the fact that he is so honest and never tries to push you into any work that does not need to be done!

Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. When other dentists were booking 3+ months out, they gave me an appointment 1 month out and then moved me up 2 weeks. Dental hygienist did an outstanding job and was very professional.

Katie did a great job cleaning my teeth. I have had an irrational fear of the dentist most of my life but since coming to Northside I have really no anxiety.

Always an excellent experience. Some dentist offices try to get you to pay for unnecessary dental work. Northside gets you in and out with no unnecessary "upsells."

Dr. Ryan Hough and his team are the definition of perfection. I have an extremely difficult time, going to the dentist and have been shamed by previous dentist when I was a kid which really turned me off from going at all. Dr. Hough is so kind and understanding. He understands that it’s hard for some people and his literal response is “that’s okay, I’m happy you’re here now” and here’s what we can do to help you. I followed him from his previous practice and he’s literally the only dentist I trust. 10/10!
