Unique Benefits of Candid Clear Aligners Orthodontics for Adults and Teens

At the office of Scott A. Babin DDS & Associates, Edmonds, Washington, beautiful smiles are our business! Through Candid treatment, we can put a beautifully aligned smile well within your reach. If you’re facing problems with crooked or misaligned teeth, we encourage you to visit our clinic to learn more about Candid Clear Aligners orthodontics.

About Candid Treatment

Although traditional metal braces are quite effective at straightening crooked teeth, not everyone feels comfortable with their appearance. What teen or adult wants to flash a mouthful of metal every time they smile or speak? In contrast, Candid uses clear, plastic, invisible teeth aligners to straighten your teeth. These aligners are hardly noticeable on your teeth, even when you smile. You can go about your business confidently, knowing your orthodontic issues are being corrected discreetly.

The Candid Process

Upon your initial visit to our clinic, Drs. Scott A. Babin and Anne Mazure-Schmidt will examine your teeth and gums to assess your oral health and identify the problems that need to be addressed. We’ll explain how Candid works and help you set goals for your treatment. We’ll take digital impressions of your mouth to create a three-dimensional mold of your teeth. This mold will be used to customize aligners for your use.

Candid aligners exert gentle pressure on your teeth to shift them into a better position. These aligners will be changed every few weeks to keep the realignment process progressing throughout your treatment. Depending on the problems that need fixing, you could have a beautifully aligned smile in as little as 18 months or sooner.

Unique Benefits of Candid Orthodontics

In addition to being discreet, Candid offers the following advantages over traditional braces for straightening crooked teeth:

Comfort – The aligners are composed of flexible, plastic material that conforms perfectly to the size and shape of your teeth for a snug, comfortable fit. There are no metal parts to poke your mouth
Convenience – The aligners can be removed for eating and brushing your teeth. You’ll be able to enjoy your meals and keep up with your oral hygiene routine
Less restrictive – Your treatment doesn’t require as many follow-up dental visits, so there are fewer restrictions on your busy schedule. Your dentists will monitor your at-home check-ins every couple of weeks and notify you if you need to come in for an in-person check-up at the dental office
Quicker results – On average, Candid treatments last between 6-18 months as opposed to several years of wearing metal braces to achieve your smile goals
