Better, Cheaper Clear Braces than Candid – New Jersey
Nu Smile Aligner® and Candid: A Comparison
Lots of people resort to Candid braces or similar at-home orthodontic options because the idea of clear aligners at a price much lower than Invisalign appeals to them— but let’s get “candid” here. DIY braces kits offer low quality, unpredictable results, and a lack of personalized support. As you’ll soon discover on this page as we compare the Nu Smile Aligner and Candid clear braces systems, the Nu Smile Aligner system is superior to Candid in virtually every way, including effectiveness, value, technology, and more.

Price
The cost of Candid is about $1,900. Nu Smile Aligner, on the other hand, is only $3,000 or $110 per month for 24 months. When you compare, not just the prices of these treatments but also what you get your money, Nu Smile emerges as an undeniably superior value.
Technology
Candid is a pretty low-tech treatment. Patients must take their own dental molds, and even the smallest error could result in damage to tooth enamel and improperly aligned teeth. Nu Smile Aligner uses advanced digital scanning that ensures that your aligners will be a perfect fit for your teeth. We don’t take any chances when it comes to quality.
Process
The DIY nature of Candid basically leaves patients in the dark. There is no clinical oversight, no team of professionals to go to bat for you, and limited technology to ensure your treatment goes smoothly. The Nu Smile process is much more hands-on and partners you with experts who genuinely want to see your treatment succeed.
Effectiveness
Candid patients may make mistakes when they are taking molds of their teeth. Those mistakes ultimately compromise the effectiveness of the treatment and can even pose a danger to a patient’s oral health. Nu Smile Aligner is effective because it depends on the best technology and clinical expertise.
Appearance
One of the primary selling points of clear aligners is their subtle appearance — but you could lose out on that benefit if you use Candid, whose aligners are made from a cheap plastic. Nu Smile aligners are both discreet and comfortable because they are constructed out of high-quality, medical-grade materials.
Support
Dr. G and the Nu Smile Aligner team will always be ready to help you during your treatment process. Candid, on the other hand, is all DIY and doesn’t offer you the support you need to feel confident about how your orthodontic journey is going.
