Virtually undetectable, Invisalign® and CandidPro™ straighten your teeth without wires and brackets.
Invisalign®
The Invisalign System combines advanced 3-D computer graphics technology with the 100-year-old science of orthodontics. Invisalign aligners are designed to move your teeth in small steps to the desired final position prescribed by your orthodontist. Each aligner is precisely calibrated and manufactured to fit your mouth at each stage of the treatment plan. Your first step is to visit our office to determine if Invisalign is right for you. After sending precise treatment instructions, Invisalign uses advanced computer technology to translate these instructions in a sequence of finely calibrated aligners – as few as 12 or as many as 48. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks and only taken out to eat, brush and floss. As you replace each aligner with the next, your teeth will begin to move gradually – week-by-week until the final alignment prescribed is attained. Then you’ll be smiling like you never have before!

CandidPro™
While many people are familiar with Invisalign, fewer have heard of CandidPro – a newer option in the world of clear aligners. Both are designed to enhance your smile, but they differ in how treatment is delivered and the overall patient experience. Invisalign typically involves regular in-office visits and is often recommended for more complex orthodontic needs. CandidPro, on the other hand, focuses on mild to moderate alignment issues and uses remote monitoring to streamline the process. At Blue Ridge Dental Centers, we help patients understand these options and choose the approach that best fits their goals, lifestyle, and long-term oral health.
Both Invisalign and CandidPro use clear, custom-made aligners to straighten teeth and improve overall alignment, but they differ in their approach and level of in-office care. Invisalign, a long-established leader in orthodontics, uses advanced 3D imaging to create highly customized treatment plans and typically involves regular check-ins to ensure progress stays on track – making it a strong option for more complex cases.
CandidPro takes a more streamlined approach, using remote monitoring to guide treatment and focusing primarily on mild to moderate alignment concerns. Treatment timelines can vary, with Invisalign often ranging from 12–18 months, while CandidPro may achieve results in a shorter timeframe for qualifying cases.
At Blue Ridge Dental Center offices in Minnetonka and Maple Grove, MN, both options share the same end goal: delivering effective, convenient, and discreet orthodontic solutions. Our team works closely with each patient to recommend the right fit based on their needs, lifestyle, and long-term dental health.
