How Clear Aligners Work
After completing a consultation with a member of our team, we will take digital scans and impressions of your teeth so that your aligners can be crafted to fit comfortably and produce predictable movement. As a hybrid treatment model, you will be expected to provide progress photos every two weeks. This allows us to use a CandidMonitoring app to track your progress and ensure your teeth are moving as expected.
The Benefits of Clear Aligners
Candid clear aligners offer many unique benefits that other systems do not, including:
- A shorter, average treatment time of 4-12 months as opposed to 12-18 months (Invisalign) or 2-3 years (traditional braces)
- Fewer in-house dental appointments because of the app monitoring
- Get a free whitening foam that can help keep your aligners free of stains
- Removable aligners that help you eat and drink what you want, as well as maintain good oral hygiene
What’s the Difference Between Candid Clear Aligners & Invisalign?
You might wonder about the difference between Candid clear aligners and Invisalign. Although they both rely on discreet trays to shift teeth and create a more visually pleasing aesthetic, they are not entirely the same. Some of the most distinct differences include:
- Candid clear aligners are a hybrid treatment model (in-person and at-home), while Invisalign requires complete in-person oversight.
- Candid uses an app-based monitoring system so regular in-office visits are not necessary. Invisalign requires that patients visit the dentist’s office every six weeks or so for a follow-up.
- Candid treatment can be completed in 4-12 months, while Invisalign can take 12-18 months.
- Candid treats mild to moderate cases of gapped, crooked, or overcrowded teeth, while Invisalign can address these as well as misaligned bites.
