Candid™ Clear Aligners: Transform Your Smile Discreetly and Comfortably

A beautiful, straight smile can significantly boost your confidence and improve your oral health. For years, traditional braces were the go-to solution for correcting misaligned teeth, but today, there’s a more convenient and discreet option: Candid™ Clear Aligners.

At our practice, we’re proud to offer Candid™—an advanced, comfortable, and highly effective alternative to metal braces that helps you achieve the smile of your dreams without the inconvenience of brackets and wires.

Whether you have mild crowding, gaps between teeth, or more complex alignment concerns, Candid™ Clear Aligners provide a customized treatment plan tailored to your needs. Let’s explore why so many patients are choosing this innovative orthodontic solution.

What Are Candid™ Clear Aligners?

Candid™ Clear Aligners are transparent, removable trays designed to gradually straighten teeth. Each aligner is custom-made to fit snugly over your teeth, applying gentle, consistent pressure to shift them into proper alignment over time. Unlike metal braces, Candid™ aligners are virtually invisible, making them a popular choice for adults and teens who want a more discreet orthodontic solution.

Candid™ is known for its cutting-edge technology and remote monitoring capabilities, which allow patients to track their progress and communicate with dental professionals throughout treatment—without as many in-office visits as traditional orthodontics.

Benefits of Choosing Candid™ Clear Aligners

• Discreet Appearance
  The clear, virtually invisible trays let you straighten your teeth without drawing attention. You can smile confidently in professional and social situations without feeling self-conscious about metal wires.
• Removable Convenience
  Unlike traditional braces, Candid™ aligners are fully removable. You can take them out when eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing—making oral hygiene simple and allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods without restrictions.
• Comfortable Fit
  The aligners are custom-made using advanced digital scans to ensure a smooth, comfortable fit. There are no sharp brackets or wires to irritate your cheeks or gums.
• Efficient Treatment
  Candid™ uses advanced treatment planning and digital monitoring to achieve predictable, efficient results. Many patients complete their treatment in less time compared to traditional braces.
• Fewer Office Visits
  Candid™’s remote monitoring system allows your dentist to track your progress virtually, reducing the number of in-office appointments while still providing professional oversight and care.
• Improved Oral Health
  Straighter teeth aren’t just about looks—they’re easier to clean, reducing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and other dental issues.

Who Is a Candidate for Candid™ Clear Aligners?

Candid™ is ideal for patients with mild to moderate orthodontic concerns, including:

• Crowded teeth
• Gaps or spaces between teeth
• Mild bite irregularities (overbite, underbite, or crossbite)
• Relapse after previous orthodontic treatment

During your consultation, we will evaluate your smile, take digital scans, and determine if Candid™ is the right solution for you. In some cases, severe bite problems may require more advanced orthodontic solutions.

How Does the Candid™ Treatment Process Work?

• Step 1: Initial Consultation
  Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation. We’ll evaluate your teeth, discuss your goals, and determine if Candid™ aligners are the best fit for your needs. Digital scans or impressions are taken to create a precise 3D model of your teeth.
• Step 2: Customized Treatment Plan
  Using your digital scans, we design a step-by-step treatment plan that maps out your tooth movements from start to finish. You’ll even get a preview of your expected results before treatment begins.
• Step 3: Receiving Your Aligners
  Your custom aligners are manufactured and delivered to our office. Each set is worn for about two weeks before progressing to the next in the series, gradually moving your teeth into alignment.
• Step 4: Remote Monitoring and Check-Ins
  Candid™ offers a unique advantage—remote progress monitoring. Using a special device and smartphone app, you can send regular photos of your teeth, allowing us to track your progress and make adjustments as needed without frequent office visits.
• Step 5: Completing Your Treatment
  Once your teeth have reached their ideal positions, you’ll transition to wearing retainers to maintain your beautiful new smile. Retainers prevent shifting and ensure your results last for years to come.

How Long Does Candid™ Treatment Take?

Treatment time varies depending on your specific alignment needs, but most patients complete their Candid™ journey in 6 to 12 months. Factors such as complexity, compliance (wearing aligners 20–22 hours per day), and oral health play a role in determining the exact timeline.

How to Care for Your Aligners

• Rinse aligners every time you remove them.
• Brush them gently with a soft toothbrush—avoid toothpaste, as it can scratch the trays.
• Store aligners in their protective case when not in use.
• Avoid drinking hot liquids or colored beverages (like coffee or wine) while wearing aligners to prevent warping or staining.

Candid™ Clear Aligners vs. Traditional Braces

While both treatments effectively straighten teeth, Candid™ offers several advantages over metal braces:

• Appearance: Nearly invisible compared to visible metal brackets.
• Comfort: Smooth plastic trays without sharp edges.
• Convenience: No dietary restrictions—remove aligners to eat and drink.
• Fewer Office Visits: Remote monitoring reduces in-office appointments.
• Oral Hygiene: Easier brushing and flossing since aligners are removable.

However, traditional braces may still be recommended for complex bite issues or severe misalignments.

Cost of Candid™ Clear Aligners

The cost of Candid™ aligners depends on the complexity of your case, treatment length, and whether additional services (like whitening or retainers) are included. We’ll provide a detailed cost estimate during your consultation and review financing options to make treatment affordable.
