WHY INVISALIGN IS THE SUPERIOR CHOICE
Professional Supervision for Safer, More Effective Treatment
One of the biggest advantages of Invisalign is that a licensed dentist oversees your treatment. At A+ Family Dentistry, our team, including Dr. Justene Doan, Dr. Roger Tran, Dr. Janice Doan, and Dr. Sigafoos, carefully monitors your progress, ensuring that your teeth are moving safely and effectively. Candid relies on remote monitoring, which can’t provide the same level of care, particularly for more complex cases. In-office checkups also allow for timely adjustments, reducing the risk of misalignment or prolonged treatment times.
Without professional supervision, subtle issues like poor aligner fit, slow progress, or improper tooth movement may go unnoticed with at-home treatment, leading to unsatisfactory results. With Invisalign, your treatment is guided every step of the way, ensuring a safe and smooth process with expert adjustments when necessary.
Precision and Predictability with Advanced Technology
Invisalign’s SmartTrack material and precision attachments offer greater control over tooth movement, making it possible to treat a wider range of cases, including severe misalignment, overbites, and crossbites. Unlike Candid, which relies solely on mailed impressions and software-generated treatment plans, Invisalign’s approach includes 3D digital scans, customized aligners, and in-person adjustments to ensure the most accurate results.
Additionally, because Invisalign aligners fit more snugly and include optional attachments for increased precision, they can address even the most challenging orthodontic cases. Candid’s lack of attachments limits the degree of correction that can be achieved. Invisalign ensures that each step of the alignment process is planned with precision, reducing the risk of setbacks and improving overall treatment efficiency.
Better Long-Term Results and Retention
With Invisalign, your treatment is designed for long-term success. Regular check-ins allow our dentists to make adjustments as needed, ensuring that your teeth stay in place after treatment. Candid’s at-home approach lacks this level of follow-up, increasing the risk of misalignment over time. Without professional oversight, many patients using at-home aligners may experience unexpected shifting, requiring additional corrections later on.
Long-term retention is also a crucial factor. Invisalign provides clear retainers post-treatment to help maintain results, whereas at-home aligner companies often leave patients on their own for long-term care. Choosing Invisalign means investing in a solution designed to last a lifetime.
RELATED SERVICES
Your Smile, Our Priority
While Candid May Seem Like an Attractive Option Section
Supervision
Invisalign offers in-office visits with a licensed dentist or orthodontist, ensuring professional oversight throughout your treatment. In contrast, Candid relies on remote monitoring with mailed impression kits, which may lack the same level of professional guidance.
Customization
Invisalign provides a fully customized treatment plan with precise adjustments tailored to your needs. Candid, however, offers limited customization based on the initial impression, which may not address all individual concerns.
Complex Cases
Invisalign is capable of treating mild to severe cases, including complex bite issues. Candid is best suited for mild to moderate cases, which may limit its effectiveness for more challenging orthodontic needs.
Attachments for Precision
Invisalign utilizes SmartTrack technology and attachments for better control and effectiveness in treatment. Candid does not use attachments, which may limit its overall effectiveness in achieving desired results.
