CandidPro Clear Aligners in Gonzales, TX
Straighter Teeth, Fewer Office Visits, Full Clinical Oversight
Most people who've thought about straightening their teeth have one of two hesitations. The first is the obvious one — they don't want brackets and wires on their teeth for a year or two. The second is less talked about but just as real: they don't have time for a standing monthly appointment at a dental office. CandidPro solves both.

CandidPro is a doctor-directed clear aligner system that uses custom-fabricated, nearly invisible trays to gradually move your teeth into alignment — with built-in remote monitoring that replaces most in-office check-ins without reducing clinical oversight. Your treatment at Smiles of Gonzales is managed by your doctor here from start to finish. As part of the CandidPro system, your treatment plan is also reviewed and co-approved by a US-based licensed orthodontist through CandidPro's CandidConsult program — giving you an additional layer of specialist input behind every case. That review supports your doctor's clinical judgment; it doesn't replace it. The person who knows your full dental history, performed your exam, and will see you through to your final result is the doctor sitting across from you in Gonzales.
How CandidPro Works
Your Consultation
In-office from the start. Dr. Weinman or Dr. Leon-Weinman evaluates your bite, gum health, bone levels, and existing restorations. Candidacy is determined clinically by the doctor who will manage your case — not by a screening questionnaire. Your records are then submitted then a US-based licensed orthodontist co-reviews and approves your treatment plan before a single aligner is fabricated. You get your doctor's clinical judgment and an orthodontist's treatment plan review. Both. Standard on every case.
Your Aligners
Fabricated from Zendura FLX — BPA-free, medical-grade, engineered to hold corrective force longer than standard clear aligner materials. Worn at least 22 hours a day, removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene. CandidPro's unique trimline design means most cases require fewer attachments than other clear aligner systems.
Remote Monitoring
Every 7 to 14 days, you send scans through the ProMonitoring app from wherever you are. Dr. Weinman or Dr. Leon-Weinman reviews approximately 130 data observations per check-in and issues your Go or No-Go. Nothing advances automatically. Issues get caught early and addressed before they affect your outcome. 98% of CandidPro cases finish as planned with one or fewer refinements. Fewer office visits — but full clinical oversight at every aligner change.
Completion and Retention
Your final result is confirmed in-office by your doctor. Retainers are fitted and explained. Long-term stability is maintained with the same practice, the same doctors, and the same complete dental home you had when you started. We remain your provider for everything that comes after.

CandidPro for Adults
Discreet treatment for professional life:
If you're in a professional environment or a client-facing role, the discretion of clear aligners is genuinely meaningful. The ability to remove them for important presentations, dinners, or photographs means treatment doesn't demand constant visibility. The experience is fundamentally different from what most people imagine orthodontic treatment to be.
CandidPro for Teens
Same results as braces, dramatically better experience:
We have an honest conversation with teens and parents alike about what wearing aligners 20 to 22 hours a day actually requires. When worn as directed, CandidPro achieves the same quality of result as braces — through a dramatically better experience. No wires to irritate tissue, no food restrictions, no emergency appointments for broken brackets. With fewer in person appointments than traditional braces for tracking treatment progress, teens and their parents save time and avoid missing school or work with CandidPro from Smiles of Gonzales.
Is CandidPro Right for You?
A clinical evaluation is the only way to know:
CandidPro treats a wide range of cases — mild spacing, crowding, gaps, and more complex bite issues that other clear aligner systems sometimes can't address. The right candidacy question isn't whether your case is simple or complex. It's whether clear aligner therapy is the appropriate treatment path at all, which requires a clinical evaluation.
Good candidates are generally adults or teens with fully erupted permanent teeth, adequate bone and gum health, and the discipline to wear aligners as prescribed. If we find underlying decay or gum disease at your consultation, we'll address that first — cosmetic outcomes built on an unhealthy foundation don't hold.
If CandidPro isn't the right fit for your situation, we'll tell you why and what would work better. That's just how we practice.
You shouldn't have to drive to San Antonio or Austin to work with a CandidPro provider.
We offer the full treatment experience right here in Gonzales.
For patients from Schulenburg, Shiner, Cuero, Yoakum, Luling, and the surrounding area, the reduced in-office visit model is a genuine advantage. You're not committing to a monthly drive. You're committing to wearing your aligners and sending a scan digitally every couple of weeks. We handle the rest.

Frequently Asked Questions About CandidPro
How long does CandidPro treatment take?
Most cases complete in 6 to 12 months, though mild cases can move faster and complex cases may take longer. Your orthodontist-reviewed treatment plan will include a projected timeline once your records are evaluated.
How is CandidPro different from Invisalign?
Both use clear removable trays to move teeth. CandidPro differentiates through its built-in remote monitoring platform — FDA-cleared and standard on every case — orthodontist review of every treatment plan, and Zendura FLX aligner material. The result is typically fewer required office visits with no reduction in clinical oversight.
Does CandidPro work for complex cases?
Yes. CandidPro is designed to treat most Class I, Class II, and some Class III malocclusions, including cases that other clear aligner systems decline. Your candidacy is evaluated at your consultation.
What happens if my aligners aren't tracking correctly?
The ProMonitoring app flags tracking issues before they compound. If your scan shows the aligner isn't seating properly or your teeth aren't moving as planned, we see it at that check-in — not three months later at an in-office visit. We can adjust the plan, schedule a brief in-office appointment, or issue refinements as needed.
Will I need retainers after CandidPro?
Yes, and this is non-negotiable regardless of which aligner system you use. Teeth move throughout your life. Retainers worn as directed — typically full-time for the first few months, then nightly long-term — are what protect your result permanently.
