Frequently Asked Questions About Teeth Straightening
What Types of Teeth Straightening Do You Offer in Pearline Health?
Pearline Health provides Candid clear aligners, featuring their CandidMonitoring system. This approach lets you straighten your teeth discreetly while tracking your progress through a mobile app and home scan box—no traditional braces required.
How Does The Remote Monitoring Work?
With CandidMonitoring, you'll periodically take photos or 3D scans using the home scan box. These are sent to Pearline’s orthodontic team via the smartphone app, allowing the dentist to review your progress and ensure everything is moving as planned without in-person visits.
Who is a Good Candidate for Candid Clear Aligners?
Ideal candidates include individuals with mild to moderate alignment issues, such as minor crowding, spacing, or bite irregularities. A digital scan, photos, and X-rays will determine if clear aligners are the best option—or if you need alternative treatment.
What Does The Treatment Timeline Look Like?
After the consultation and digital scan:
Receive your custom Candid aligners.
Wear each tray as directed (usually 22 hours/day).
Progress is monitored remotely via scans and occasional in-office check-ups.
Treatment typically lasts 6–18 months, depending on your specific orthodontic needs.
Is Teeth Straightening with Candid Painful, and what About Care?
Most patients experience mild pressure not pain when starting new aligners. To care for your aligners:
-
Wear them for ~22 hours each day.
-
Remove them for eating, brushing, and cleaning.
-
Clean trays with a soft brush and lukewarm water (avoid hot).
-
Attend periodic check-ins (in-person or virtual) to ensure treatment is on track.
How Frequently Do I Need In-Person Check-ins If I Choose Candid Aligners?
While most progress is managed via remote scans with CandidMonitoring, Pearline Health typically schedules a few in-office check-ins—especially early and at treatment completion—to verify fit, confirm tooth movement, and address any issues promptly.
What Happens If An Aligner Is Lost Or Damaged?
If an aligner becomes lost, damaged, or doesn’t fit, simply contact Pearline. Based on your treatment progress and timeline, they’ll often provide a replacement aligner. Additional aligners may be needed in rare cases, with minimal cost depending on your treatment plan and timeline.
Will My Treatment Address Bite Issues (e.g. Overbite, Underbite, Crossbite)?
Candid clear aligners at Pearline are designed to correct various bite irregularities, including mild to moderate overbites, underbites, crossbites, and spacing issues. Your candidacy is determined via a digital scan, photos, and X-rays to ensure the aligners can safely and effectively achieve your desired result.
