Choosing the right teeth straightening solution can be a challenge, especially with options like Invisalign and Candid Co available. Both systems offer clear aligners to help straighten your teeth, but they differ in treatment process, cost, and level of professional oversight. At Division Street Dental Group in Palmdale, we understand that each patient’s needs are unique, and finding the right treatment plan is key to achieving a confident smile. Here’s a breakdown of Invisalign and Candid Co to help you decide which treatment is best suited for your needs.

|---|---|---|
| Appearance | Clear and virtually invisible aligners | Clear aligners, slightly visible due to DIY treatment |
| Comfort | Smooth plastic aligners, no metal to irritate | Smooth plastic aligners, no in-office monitoring |
| Treatment Time | Typically 12-18 months, fewer visits required | Typically 6-8 months, remote check-ins with a professional |
| Maintenance | Removable for easy brushing and flossing, no food restrictions | Aligners are removable, but self-care is required for cleaning and maintenance |
| Effectiveness | Effective for mild to moderate cases, custom treatment plan | Effective for mild to moderate cases, limited to simpler treatments |
| Cost | Can be comparable to Candid Co, slightly more expensive in some cases | Generally less expensive, but additional consultation fees may apply |
| Lifestyle | Removable for eating and cleaning, discreet | Removable for eating and cleaning, DIY treatment without regular professional supervision |
