Candid (Invisalign)

Candid in Milpitas

Candid clear aligners invisibly straighten your teeth over time using medical-grade plastic. These trays can be removed for eating and cleaning, and make the orthodontic process more comfortable for patients because there are no wires, brackets, or elastics to worry about. Imagine being able to enjoy an apple without having to slice it into small pieces, or enjoying popcorn without it getting stuck in your teeth.

Using continuous pressure over a series of trays allows you to see results faster and with less discomfort than traditional braces. Additionally, the absence of brackets and wires means no sore spots on your cheeks, lips, and tongue.

After an initial visit and consultation with photos, x-rays, and 3D digital scans of your teeth, Dr. Cesar A. Simon can determine if Candid aligners will work for you. After all the preliminary work is complete, you will receive a series of trays with specific instructions for wear, usually two to three weeks per tray.

Because they can be removed, Candid aligners require a strong commitment to consistent wear and are best suited for older, responsible teens and adults. Diligently wearing your clear aligners for the specified time will help ensure the results you want within a reasonable timeframe.

Candid can:

• Invisibly straighten your teeth

• Allow you to eat foods that are “off limits” with traditional braces

• Make cleaning and brushing easy

Something For Everyone

Most people are excellent candidates for Candid aligners. However, Candid may not be a suitable choice for extensive orthodontic cases that involve significant tooth movement. Some may also choose fixed braces because they eliminate the risk of trays being lost.

You may discuss adding tooth whitening to your plan, which can remove years of stain accumulation. In some cases, porcelain veneers can lift a straight smile to another level or may even offer an alternative to orthodontics.

The smile you’ve always dreamed of may be closer than you think with flexible payment options. Increasingly, more insurance plans are choosing to cover clear aligners as a viable method of orthodontic treatment. Check with our office today for more information.
