Clear Aligners

The Discreet Orthodontic Solution

Many adults who want to straighten their teeth don't want to deal with metal brackets and wires. Dr. Michael Hoang, DMD, proudly offers Candid clear aligners, a discreet, modern alternative to traditional braces that fit seamlessly into your busy lifestyle.

What Are Clear Aligners?

Candid clear aligners, similar to Invisalign®, are an innovative orthodontic treatment that corrects various bite and alignment issues. The custom-made, transparent plastic trays are virtually invisible when worn, making them ideal for adults or older teens who don't want to announce their treatment to the world.

The Benefits of Clear Aligner Orthodontics

Aside from the obvious benefit of being nearly invisible, clear aligners have many positive qualities that our patients love.

Comfortable and Easy to Wear

Unlike traditional braces, clear aligners are smooth. You will not experience the same irritation of your delicate tissues as with metal or ceramic brackets.

Removable Convenience

You can remove your clear aligners to eat your favorite foods without restriction and practice good oral hygiene by brushing and flossing easily.

Improved Health

Because you do not have brackets and wires on your teeth, you can maintain a high standard of oral hygiene even throughout your orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontic Issues Addressed by Clear Aligners

Clear aligners can address the most common orthodontic issues. Dr. Mike recommends Candid clear aligners to treat several issues, including:

Overbite and underbite
Crowded teeth
Gaps between teeth
General teeth misalignment

If you have more complex issues, such as a severe overbite, crossbite, or rotated teeth, traditional braces may be necessary.

After evaluating your situation, Dr. Mike will advise you on the proper treatment for your needs and refer you to a specialist, if necessary.

Frequently Asked Questions

What problems do clear aligners fix?

Clear aligners like Invisalign are designed to correct smile misalignments, including crowded, crooked, or gapped teeth and bite issues. Dr. Michael Hoang offers Candid aligners at his Hawthorne, CA, dental office and recommends them for adults and teens looking to improve their smiles discreetly.

Types of Dental Issues Clear Aligners Address

Dr. Mike addresses the following issues with Candid aligners:

Crooked Teeth — Clear aligners efficiently straighten teeth without traditional metal braces.
Overbites and Underbites — These common issues occur when the upper teeth overlap the lower teeth excessively (overbite) or when the lower teeth protrude past the upper teeth (underbite). Clear aligners can realign the teeth for a more balanced bite.
Uneven Spacing — Clear aligners can close wide or uneven spaces between teeth to give you a more even, uniform smile.
Crowded Teeth — When there isn’t enough space in your jaw, teeth can become crowded and overlap. Clear aligners can gradually move the teeth into a better position to relieve crowding.
Mild to Moderate Bite Problems — Clear aligners are effective for correcting mild to moderate bite problems, while more severe cases might require traditional braces.

Partnering with Dr. Mike for Clear Aligners

Before recommending clear aligners, Dr. Mike will perform a thorough oral health evaluation, including x-rays, impressions, and photos. He provides personalized care and tailors your clear aligner treatment to suit your unique dental needs and preferences.

If you’re ready to see how discreet aligner treatment can benefit your smile, call Dr. Mike’s Hawthorne, CA, dental office to schedule an appointment.

The Candid Clear Aligner Treatment Process

Getting started with Candid clear aligners is a straightforward process involving several steps:

Evaluation — Visit Dr. Mike for a comprehensive evaluation to determine if clear aligners suit your orthodontic needs.
Planning — If you're a good candidate, Dr. Mike will take impressions or digital scans of your teeth to create several sets of custom aligners.
Treatment Phase — Each set of aligners is customized to move your teeth into their ideal positions gradually. You'll wear each set for one to two weeks, then discard them and move to the next set. Regular check-in appointments with Dr. Mike during this time will ensure your treatment is progressing as planned.
Treatment Times — You finish treatment after wearing your last set of aligners. The length of treatment with Candid clear aligners varies depending on individual needs; in some cases, it takes as little as six months, but most patients wear their aligners for 12–18 months.
