How Candid Works
In order to move your teeth to their properly aligned positions, you’ll work your way through a series of clear aligners. You’ll wear each tray for 20-22 hours a day for a week or two at a time, and each new tray will pick up where the previous one left off. Periodically, you’ll come in for a check-in with Dr. Pham to ensure that your teeth are tracking properly. Since the aligners are see-through, you’ll be able to watch your smile transform right before your eyes!
Indications for Candid
Fortunately, Candid can help with so much more than minor misalignment. Their clear aligners are most often used to correct:
Crowded Teeth
One of the most common orthodontic issues is crowded, overlapping teeth. While the aesthetic drawbacks are considerable, the unique crevices that form can also spell danger for your oral health. Don’t worry though – Candid’s clear aligners can gently correct this issue, improving the look and function of your smile.
Gaps Between Teeth
Similar to overcrowded teeth, gapped teeth are an orthodontic problem that negatively impacts your oral health as well as the look of your smile. Fortunately, Candid can bring your teeth closer together with each aligner. Before you know it, the spaces will be gone!
Bite Alignment
Patients often associate “braces” with “straight teeth.” While that’s true, they can correct overbites, crossbites, and underbites as well. If your bite alignment is off, then don’t hesitate to ask our team if Candid is the right solution for you.
The Benefits of Candid
More than 12 million patients have chosen to pursue their smile goals with Candid because of the numerous benefits this virtually undetectable treatment comes with, such as:
- Smooth trays – The combination of custom-made trays and smooth plastic make Candid significantly more comfortable than traditional metal braces.
- No dietary restrictions – Popcorn, apples, tortilla chips… it’s all on the table! Just make sure to always remove your aligners first and exercise caution with extremely crunchy foods.
- Easy oral hygiene – With Candid, you won’t have to worry about maneuvering your floss around brackets and wires. Simply remove your trays and complete your oral hygiene routine as usual!
- Discreet appearance – One of Candid’s most popular perks is their see-through trays, which allow you to pursue your dream smile without calling attention to your treatment.
- Fewer check-in appointments – Since you won’t need your braces adjusted every few weeks, you’ll have fewer check-in appointments at our office.
