Candid

Facilitates dentist-delivered clear aligner therapy

Overview

Candid provides clear aligner treatments and whitening services through a network of dental professionals. Patients use the CandidPro system to receive custom aligners and must submit digital scans of their teeth every 14 days so their doctor can monitor progress remotely. Unlike direct-to-consumer brands that bypass the dentist, Candid integrates professional clinical oversight with remote technology to ensure safety and accuracy. The company's goal is to provide a convenient, high-quality orthodontic experience by combining expert dental care with modern monitoring tools.
