How Do Candid Clear Aligners Work?

Gone are the days when your only orthodontic treatment option was a mouth full of metal! Traditional braces can cause pain, require frequent office visits for adjusting and repair, and broadcast to the world “I’m getting orthodontic treatment!”

Enter clear aligners — transparent plastic trays that surround your upper and lower teeth and gradually shift them into the desired position. It isn’t an exaggeration to say that they’ve revolutionized orthodontics. 

The surge in their popularity is due to lots of good reasons, and the Expressions in Dentistry dental team, who are always on the lookout for innovative treatments, has embraced Candid clear aligners to treat their patients, which our dentists consider the superior choice. 

When your Expressions in Dentistry provider creates your or your child’s treatment plan, they customize it to your needs and goals. The Candid aligner treatment platform aligns (see what we did there?) well with our practice philosophy. 

Candid aligners: the clear choice

Candid aligners are an innovative solution for correcting a range of orthodontic issues and making your smile dazzling. 

Our patients are often delighted when we explain the Candid treatment process. After your Expressions in Dentistry provider speaks with you about your goals and evaluates your teeth and smile, they consider your corrective treatment plan. To help them create it, they use advanced technology to produce 3D images of your teeth.

This data allows your Candid aligners to be made in a way that’s tailored to your mouth — and your mouth only. Once you receive your aligners, you need to:

• Wear them for 20-22 hours per day
• Be sure to keep them clean
• Ensure that they’re in their case and protected when you aren’t wearing them

Your dentist will determine how many sets of different aligners you need to achieve your goals, but each set is slightly different. This is what stimulates the gentle, gradual shifting of your teeth over time. 

Throughout your treatment, you have our full support. We see you periodically to check on your treatment’s progress (check-ins via your smartphone are also an option, saving you office visits), and we’re always a phone call away if you have any questions.
