The affordable, convenient service has provided easy, accurate service right on your mobile device. I feel my teeth straightening. The aligners a great and easy to wear and the app is very easy to use, thank you Candid. I’m very satisfied with my appearance and process of the product.

They have been terrible. I never leave reviews but this company has been an incredibly terrible experience. It’s worth paying more to get a legitimate experience with Invisalign or some other company. Do not use them. Pay more, their service and product is terrible.

So far it has been a good experience. The process has been simple and straightforward. The staff has always been there to answer questions and follow up on the process. They make sure that you have support during the process.

Only thing I would add on to the app is an explanation of what each aligner is doing to what tooth. That’s all, everything else is perfect. The app is easy to use, customer service is always in a good mood as well, love that.

Initially skeptical about the stuff, but now confidence is increasing daily. The company staff are very courteous, but it is not completely painless especially as it does it job, am talking about the liners. My husband always says, "that slight pain or discomfort, indicates Invisalign is doing itself job", and I concur.

I was a little apprehensive about purchasing a teeth straightening system online but the process was so easy and I’m seeing changes! My teeth are getting straighter with each new set of aligners! Wearing my aligners has been no problem at all and I love that I can scan my progress using my phone to send the images to my orthodontist.

Candid took longer than expected, and they don't work. My daughter already had braces and just needed a slight fix to her overbite. She wore them constantly and she still wears the retainer but they did absolutely nothing. They don't work, don't waste your money!
Reviewed April 22, 2022
I am halfway through my treatment and so far I’m pleased with how quickly and close to painless this journey has been. Not only are these gradually straightening my teeth, they have helped me develop a routine of taking better care of my teeth and my mouth has never felt healthier. I will say it isn’t painless, but the pain comes and goes so quickly it’s not an issue. I suggest doing scans early in the morning and putting in new steps before bed at night, that way the tight uncomfortable feeling is mostly gone by the time you wake up! I also suggest filing down the aligners if they’re causing irritation inside of your mouth, it will help having a more customized fit on your teeth!
I gave 4 stars because there are a few things I don’t like. The small whitening foam that’s included, I wish I was given a bigger size because it ran out very quickly even using it as directed, and I can’t seem to justify buying another small bottle for $25 when I’ve already spent so much money on the treatment as a whole. I think Candid customers should either get bigger portions or get a free whitening foam every 3 months during the duration of their treatment. Another thing I didn’t like much was the “chewies” they give to help put a new aligner set tightly into place by biting down on them.
They get really slippery when they’re covered in your drool (and yes you’ll more than likely drool during this part) and I’ve gotten scared a few times when I bit down hard enough for it to slip out from between my teeth, which caused it to shoot to the back of my throat almost causing me to choke. I’ve tried using them a few different ways but I just can’t get over the fear that they’re small enough to get stuck in my throat or something. I think they should be bigger and longer, possibly something you can actually hold on to, to avoid them popping towards your throat.
Lastly, I was unhappy that I referred a friend to Candid, using my code, and she bought her aligners and everything and I was told by Candid if you referred someone and they bought aligners, you would be thanked by a reward… I never received what I was supposed to for that and I have contacted customer care multiple times about this and just keep being told to call a number that always ends in the call disconnecting. Overall, they aren’t super expensive, aren’t terribly uncomfortable, and the team has been nothing but helpful with any questions I’ve had regarding my treatment and the changes my teeth go through every step. I have made TikTok videos recommending them already, and hope to see Candid helping more people.

It took me a bit of practice to scan my teeth every two weeks, but on the 10th step out of 16th, I am already happy with the results and the experience have been great so far. My teeth are already straighter and healthier, of course wearing the aligners is as pleasant as it can be, it might be a bit painful for the first day or two of each aligners but it is totally worth it when you see your progress and how your gum looks so healthy and your teeth whiter with the foam provided. Finally, it saves me a lot of time not to go to the dentist every two weeks and saved me over $5,000 vs. Invisalign.

Updated on 01/04/2024: I had traditional braces as a kid but once that treatment was finished I didn't take the proper care afterward. Over the years my teeth shifted and became crowded. I decided it was time to get it sorted out. Which is when I discovered Candid. I started my Journey with Candid in September of 2021 (09.28.21). It was initially meant to be a 10 month journey but ended up being a full year. Not knowing what to expect I followed instructions to a 'T' but the retainers never really fit snug. Twelve months came and went and Candid informed me I would need to do another round. It wasn't ideal but it was at no extra cost so I was OK with it. My second round felt better. More snug and an exact fit if you will. It was promising. Ten additional aligners meaning another five months. At the end of this journey - yet again Candid explained I would need another round at no cost. Now I'm starting to not understand.
My Third and current round started in April (04.11.23) and was again - another five month journey. After two full years of treatment, multiple impressions, photos and interactions back and forth we now sit with Candid.co saying "Your dentist thinks your teeth look great - you're done" only I disagree. The two main locations in my mouth I was truly interested in fixing weren't completely fixed yet. I reached out to customer support to a surprising notice that Candid.co was no longer supporting direct to consumer aligners; but they agreed my teeth might need another round and would send out another kit - hopefully ending this journey soon.
Each time they send a kit they send the wrong size. It's like I have to remind them each time to send the large mouth kit or it won't fit. Weeks have been wasted with me waiting for new larger kits to arrive, impressions being rejected because of scraping, etc. With their business essentially closing I'm still waiting on my last kit, so I can hopefully finish with the smile I was hoping for. I grow increasingly nervous this won't happen, considering their support was ending in December due to the company deciding no longer supplying retainers directly to consumers over 18 months back. Ultimately - my teeth are straighter than they were; but they aren't perfect or what I was hoping to accomplish. I'll continue to wait and hope my FOURTH round is my final round - assuming it actually arrives.
Would I do it again with Candidco? The price was just right - cheaper than others... But the process isn't great, and if everything goes as it should moving forward my ten month aligner schedule will finally be complete after two and a half years! So; no. I don't think I would. It's probably why Candid.co is only working with dentists moving forward.
Original review: There were two areas of my mouth I was concerned with. As a child I had braces, but didn't take the necessary precautions to maintain my smile and after a few years I noticed a good bit of shifting and crowding. Halfway through the program and a majority of the crowding has adjusted or looks ready to be. I'm hoping the second half of my journey pulls the main "problem area" back into alignment. Overall it's been a pretty easy process. The aligners are only really a bother the first day or two, but my mouth seems to quickly adjust and the discomfort isn't anything like real braces.
My only real criticism is their response time for scan days seems to get longer and longer for them to respond and tell me to move on to the next stage. They tend to criticize me every round for plaque buildup, which I'm working on and given the pandemic haven't been to a dentist yet. Home remedies or recommendation besides see a dentist would be appreciated. Overall, it's been a good experience and I can't wait to see the final results.

All the aligners have done their job perfectly! The customer service is very good!! The only problem I have is the third aligner scan (aligners off, teeth slightly apart).

I recommend Candid because they use the same material as Invisalign. Also, they use a straight cut on the top which adds to the strength of the aligner. It also helps so you don’t catch your lip every time you smile. I’m halfway through treatment and I’m fully satisfied. My teeth were very crowded and not an easy fix. I would have had to wear braces for 2 years. With Candid, I’m done in 8 months.

Please note that I sent this feedback to Candid more than 6 weeks ago and have followed up every week since and received *no* response. There is no support offered from Candid for unsatisfied customers, so proceed with caution.
Expectation setting is so, so important when growing a product or brand. It sets the customer up for success and a good experience. I was told that I may be able to move from aligner to aligner every 10 days, meaning the minimum the process would take would be 4 months. Great! Of course, there's the chance that I stay in a few sets for longer, so I was thinking it would be 6 months at the most. Welp...here I am a year later and still not through all 12 sets. And I *GET IT* - we definitely don't want to move my teeth too fast and this has been the best path for me. But there is just no heckin' way that this process could have been completed in four months. I wear these bad boys every day and every night and haven't skipped a single day or night. If I had known that I would still be trying to complete the sets a year later, I would not have gone through with this process.
*Quality of Product*I have had to stay in 3 of my sets for a long time. And those sets that I end up having to wear for a long time do not stand up to wear. They start cracking or fraying, which cuts up my mouth. I use a metal file to file down the cracky places, but why is this even a thing I have to do?
*My Actual Smile Composition*Now that I am on the tail end of this whole process, I do not think I was a good fit for aligners. I think I needed to have a few teeth shaved down on the sides to create more space before trying to straighten my teeth. The aligners have pushed my teeth forward so they can all fit and be straight. This forward push has caused the outside of my mouth to look different. The space above and below my lips now sticks out because my teeth are further out. My teeth look GIANT now when I smile, unfortunately.
*Messaging with the Scan Upload*I wish I were able to include a message with the upload of my scan to the ortho. I have chatted in when I need to, but it would be so much easier to include a message or question with the scan.

Growing up, I didn’t need to use braces because my teeth were relatively straight. However, I never realized that my teeth seemed straight because of my overbite, you could only see my top teeth. As the years passed, there was some crowding in my bottom teeth and it became a lot more evident when I started working online because I could see myself talking on camera everyday call day. That’s when I decided I wanted a straighter smile, top and bottom.
I decided to give Candid a try because it was affordable and one of my close relatives had completed their candid program and got results too (their gaps vanished!). Once I sent in the molds, which was probably the most time consuming part of the process, the rest had been so easy. Every 10 days, I’m reminded to complete my at-home teeth scans which I do on my own in front of a mirror, and for about 4 months now, I haven’t had any delays and can see a huge improvement - less crowing on my bottom teeth, more space, and my overbite has also improved. I'm excited to complete the program! Also, I opted to pay it in full from the start so that I felt extra motivated to complete it.

I couldn’t recommend this treatment more! A lot of people state they have issues with their Aligners at all different companies, I haven’t had any big issues with Candid. My lower jaw has minor spacing that can be fix. It’s just how my own body reacted to the treatment and it’s not a big deal. What you need to understand is when your doing these braces it’s a process. You will experience some pain. It will subside and you will become desensitized to it and keep going because pain is beauty it’s a process, another thing is you're not going to be instantly gratified when it comes to any form of braces but I can truly say after 2 days when I change my trays out I definitely see results.
And what people need to understand is it’s a process if you're willing to put in the work and effort you will see results. And I am beyond happy with mine. I was very insecure to smile and very ashamed of my teeth and now I find my self happy to smile and show off my teeth and absolutely love the results, only downside is trying to talk while having the braces in hah. It is hilarious and embarrassing at first but who cares when you see my smile it’s totally worth it, I would do it all over again to get the results I have. That is my upfront most honest opinion. Take it for what it’s worth.

I heard about Candid from two friends who instantly saw results with Candid aligners. Unfortunately, my experience with Candid has been nothing short of disastrous. I decided to get my impressions in person at the Santa Monica Candid studio and while the employees were kind, the process that ensued after my in person visit was awful. I went in for impressions in October - I was told that I would receive a treatment plan within two weeks. I called Candid customer service three weeks later to notify them that I hadn't received any correspondence. The first representative assured me that I would receive them soon. These back and forth calls with Candid's customer service lasted two months. All because of mistakes made by the Santa Monica studio.
I received my aligners on 2/15/21. When you first receive your aligners, you must submit scans of your teeth using a dental monitoring device and one of the pieces used in this process did not fit my mouth. I didn't think that was the case until I received rejection emails for TWO scans that I had taken. When I reached out to Candid's customer service today (2/16/21) on live chat, Wynter (a Candid rep) to request expedited shipping on a smaller size - as I am convinced that is the cause of my inaccurate scans - I was told "I will see what I can do." I find the lack of empathy and sense of urgency that I have felt from most Candid representatives truly disappointing. I am paying for these aligners out of pocket. Please note, this is my experience with Candid. I would not recommend it because of their lack of transparency and communication. I'd much rather a hassle-free experience with someone else and pay the extra $.

Easy process and priced right. Doing everything digital makes it easy too. I was able to finance the cost and pay monthly. Having a virtual consultation was nice so I could ask all my questions. Everyone was helpful. Also with Candid you do not have to have hardware put on your teeth.

Affordable and convenient right from home. No need to schedule appointments, etc. you will be reminded when it’s time to scan again to review progress. So easy. Would highly recommend if you are looking for convenience and something affordable. If your insurance allows orthodontist they do insurance as well. I was given the name from Aflac.

Call into Candid Customer Service. It was like talking with a telemarketer. They only have scripted answers. You can not speak with anyone that has any knowledge about an issue you are having with the product. They just answer, "We will forward that on and someone will answer you within 72 hours." Called weeks ago…. Still waiting. They could save time and just email out the pat answers they use and save phone calls. I know they will answer this with the pat answer we can’t discuss, but I can, I have been delayed moving between sets 4 times saying this one tooth needs to move more. I could accept that answer if the Aligners was actually putting pressure on the tooth. The problem is the Aligners are so loose that when I sneeze they blow out of my mouth. Their answer to me was, "Well some people's teeth move at a different rate." No kidding, I contend, "For them to move they probably need pressure on them."

I had a problem with lower and upper teeth crowding. I’m seeing my teeth move slowly but surely towards a straighter smile and my gums look and feel great. I love being able to remove my aligners, which after a few weeks I have gotten use to wearing them for the recommended 20 hours a day.

Other than it being kind of expensive, it is less expensive than braces and way far convenient doing everything from home.

The treatment is super easy to follow and it is actually working! I like having someone reply back right away after I submit a scan (biweekly) and they give me feedback too. Also, the aligners are made to fit. I had started treatment with a different company about three years ago and the quality was awful. I’m so happy I chose Candid!

The reason I got these aligners is because I had braces once upon a time, and my teeth shifted because I was avoiding the very painful retainer they gave me. My teeth finally started bothering me not only aesthetically but also because I was concerned that I couldn't clean them properly anymore due to the way they shifted, so I started hunting for what would seem like the best choice of aligners for me. I landed on Candid, and I'm so pleased with the experience. The entire process has been very smooth. I haven't had to go anywhere for anything or have anyone other than myself poking around in my mouth. I can tell a dramatic difference in my teeth already, and I'm only a little over halfway through my plan. The entire process has been significantly less painful than braces in every way, and it's taking far less time.
I am also far more pleased with the way my teeth are straightening vs the way my teeth looked when I got my braces off back in the day. When I got my braces off, my bite did not align well at all. I couldn't close my teeth all the way and it made me hold my jaw weird. It felt awful. My bite is aligning well through this process, and I am confident it will align perfectly by the end. My teeth are also aligning in a much more aesthetically pleasing way which makes me very happy. I hate the way my front teeth are shaped, and braces only accentuated the shape of them. These aligners are shifting them in a different way that makes them not appear to be shaped the way they are, and I am ecstatic about that. I already know I am going to be the most confident about my smile that I have ever been once I finish this treatment, and that means a lot to me considering how insecure my teeth have made me throughout my life.

Candid does not put their customers first - and I would never recommend them. Imagine changing your teeth with aligners and needing retainers every night to keep them in place; with a company that owns no responsibility for not supporting you with the proper products despite going through years of treatment. Ok, so long story short: I was very impressed with how my 16 steps/8 month program went. My teeth separated and looked much better. Unfortunately they never straightened out enough to reach their final positions which left my teeth very loose and mobile.
When I went in to Candid to get a second plan for my teeth, they suggested I'd get another 8 steps for $800 or keep on wearing my retainers to see if that would do. On top of that they could not offer any guarantees of my investments. I don't blame them for my personal progress - but where do their responsibilities end? During my year progress I wasn't contacted by anyone to follow up on my satisfaction, not until I was done and I received a survey where I stated I wasn't satisfied.
A year later and I lost my retainer- ordered a new one and it hadn't arrived in two months (despite the 2-3 week expected delivery time. I called the company who said they hadn't produced my retainers and that they would cancel my order a nd refund my $100 for the retainer - they did. They also went on to ask me for new images of my teeth to make a new assessment of my needs. The Three days response time turned in to weeks and without a word, I received my retainer that I had ordered months earlier. Not a word. I called the company to say I can't longer get these on and they told me they would consult the orthodontist for further steps and ensured me I wouldn't have to pay for their mistakes.
A week goes by and I receive an email offering me to buy my previous steps again or come in for a consultation to purchase another plan. Ain other words- to start over. Now I'm back at square one and my teeth have shifted so much in the four months I have been without my retainers I can't do anything but get on a new plan. Trust me when I say I won't go back to Candid for this one. And I hope you all go to someone who can offer full service and guarantees. For your own safety.

You know the old saying “too good to be true”? Well here’s my pain. I paid in full for Candid’s service. I had 16 steps to complete and I followed the guidelines as close as possible. Everything was going very smooth until Step 8. I didn’t make it to the first day on Step 8 and it cut my gum. So I reached out to Candid for some assistance. They gave me this trimming guideline. Red flag, no customer should ever have to be trimming or cutting sharp plastic edges especially after paying in full for a service. Of course I follow the troubleshooting steps and it did not work. Then, I was reverted to do the same scans as the initial start of this service. Which is strange because all other steps did work fine, only on Step 8.
So two days go by, two different customer service reps telling me the the Orthodontist, Dr **, wants to repeat the same troubleshooting steps of trimming the aligners? And on the third day, they think that a no contact would help their situation. I feel bad for the customer service agents at this point and am very furious with this Orthodontist at this point seeing as this Orthodontist is trying to repeat the same troubleshooting steps that did not work again. Webster describes it as insanity I believe. Anyways, here I am, enraged, my teeth not lining up as advertised, no updates from Candid. Now given no choice to report this unethical business practice. This could have been avoided. Now I have a cut to treat and a fraud case to open with this company.

Candid had orthodontists doing their plans. The beginning process was very hard. You have to be able to do get the pictures taken properly and you have to put the things in your mouth right. I don't follow instructions well. I was just lucky to have a friend who is a dental technician that could help. That aside, the total process was easy.
I wanted to fix the appearance of my teeth. I have one area where the tooth is recessed. It still recessed is. It's much better than it was but it's not 100% the way I would like it to be. I order one retainer and wear it at least two hours a day to maintain my teeth. My smile needs work. Also, there should’ve been a follow-up at the very end. Candid should probably take impressions again and see if that works. Other than those, I referred a few people to Candid.

The ease of the process drew me to Candid. I didn’t have to go to an orthodontist and sit through all that. The in-person experience at the Candid facility was what sold me. I liked the people there. They give you the red carpet treatment. If it depended on some of the customer service people online or over the phone, I probably would’ve never done it. Because Candid is a fairly new company, the people on the phone have to catch up. In the beginning, there were a couple of steps that I missed or didn't realize ‘cause there was a disconnect between seeing the people at the location and the communication through email. But once I knew to look for and expect that, that was fine. I'm very happy with the results.

Candid was convenient because I didn't have a lot of time to go to doctors’ appointments. There was a location in River Oaks where you go in and they treat you really nice and they cut you a deal and do your impressions by somebody who doesn't know what they're doing. I've been trying to get in touch with them since the Coronavirus hit and I never got ahold of anyone. None of my aligners ever fit. I paid 1,500 in cash, so I'm at a loss. I also tried to email them. I tried to dispute the charge. I've tried everything to get their attention. But I never heard anything back. Once you're out of the office, they could care less about what your experience is because they already have the cash in their pocket. There's no monitoring your progress or seeing your feedback. It's just like buying something and walking out of the store and never seeing someone again, with no return policy.

Candid was relatively cheaper than the other options. I had 16 trays. So it would be two weeks multiplied by 16. But I'm not 100% content with the result.
