Clear Aligners and Candid® Treatment

Orthodontics focuses on improving the position of your teeth and bite to support better oral health, function, and appearance. Straighter teeth are easier to clean, can reduce strain on the jaw, and help prevent uneven wear or long-term dental concerns.

Clear Aligners and Candid® Treatment

Many patients today choose clear aligners as a modern alternative to traditional braces. Systems like Candid® clear aligners use a series of custom-made, removable trays that gradually guide teeth into better alignment. The aligners are nearly invisible and designed for comfort, allowing patients to feel more confident during treatment.

Because clear aligners can be removed for meals and daily hygiene, they offer added flexibility and convenience compared to fixed orthodontic appliances.

How Treatment Works

Orthodontic treatment with clear aligners typically begins with a digital scan or impression of your teeth. This allows your provider to create a personalized treatment plan that maps out each stage of tooth movement. You will wear each set of aligners for the recommended period before progressing to the next set.

For the best results, aligners should be worn most of the day and only removed for eating, brushing, and flossing. Consistent wear helps keep treatment on schedule and supports predictable outcomes.

What Orthodontics Can Correct

Orthodontic care can help improve a variety of concerns, including:
  • Crowded teeth
  • Gaps or spacing between teeth
  • Mild to moderate bite issues
  • General misalignment
Improving the position of your teeth can enhance both the health and appearance

Monitoring Your Progress

Regular follow-up visits allow your provider to track your progress and make any necessary adjustments. With proper guidance and consistent wear, clear aligners can help you achieve a straighter, more confident smile.
