Even when you’re 12 or 13, braces aren’t much fun. But once you reach full-grown adulthood, the idea of a mouth full of metal can be a total non-starter. As alluring as a straight and beautiful smile might sound, the price and inconvenience of braces are pretty major deterrents. Sure, now you can find clear alternatives to traditional metal braces, but most are a major expense. That’s why we’re so excited about Candid, a super affordable and incredibly easy way to achieve a perfect grin.
Candid gives you the option to work with an orthodontist totally remotely. Once you sign up, they’ll send you a starter kit that’ll help you create impressions and take scans of your teeth. Alternatively, you can book an appointment at one of their brick and mortar studios completely free of charge and one of the Candid care specialists will take a 3D scan of your teeth for you so you don’t need to lift a finger. Once Candid collects your diagnostic records (from whichever route you choose), a real-life orthodontist will check out what’s going on and create a personalized treatment plan for you. They’ll send you back totally clear 3D-printed aligners made of BPA-free thermoplastics, and you can pop them in and get started.
As you go through the treatment, you’ll continue to take and send scans of your teeth every 10 to 14 days using Candid’s special hardware. Your orthodontist will review and send back treatment instructions within a day to let you know next steps. This is way more oversight than people with traditional orthodontics receive, which doesn’t just provide peace of mind – it can actually make treatment go even faster, since your orthodontist can see and respond to changes almost immediately. And if you have some sort of issue or question in between, it’s easy to reach out to a Candid orthodontist any day of the week for support. Straight smiles, here we come!
