Overview
CandidCo provides clear aligner treatment for teeth straightening through a dentist-led network using its CandidPro system. Patients locate a CandidPro doctor via a Doctor Locator, receive aligners, CandidMonitoring materials, and whitening foam, and upload dental scans every 14 days so the doctor can track progress. The model centers on professional supervision and remote monitoring, plus a bundled package that includes whitening, and it collaborates with Philips Sonicare to offer Philips Zoom Whitening with custom trays. The goal is to deliver convenient, high-quality orthodontic care through dentist-led treatment and strategic partnerships in the growing clear aligner market.
