What Are Candid Aligners?

Candid aligners are clear, removable trays customized to fit your teeth. Unlike many mail-order brands, Candid aligners are supervised by your dentist and monitored remotely with smart technology.

They can treat mild to moderate cases of:

  • Crowded or crooked teeth
  • Gaps between teeth
  • Overbites or underbites
  • Relapsed orthodontic cases

All monitoring is overseen by Dr. Shiotsu through CandidMonitoring™, which uses AI and clinician review to track your progress from the comfort of home.
