| Treatment | |||
| ApproachA scan records your teeth; it is not a dental examination. | Dental exam In-person check-ups | Dental exam In-person and remote check-ins | |
| How it startsAn impression kit or a scan records the teeth. Check whether a dentist examines you in person. | An evaluation with an exam, X-rays and a digital scan at one of over 1,100 Aspen Dental offices. Ask whether it is charged. | An exam and scan at a CandidPro dentist's office. | |
| Check-ins and monitoring | In person at the office, with scheduled check-ins and virtual support. | About three office visits on average, with photo scans from home every 7 to 14 days. | |
| Who plans and supervises | A licensed dentist at that office. | Your dentist, with a US-licensed Candid orthodontist reviewing the plan on Comprehensive cases (not Elements). | |
| Cost | |||
| Treatment priceCheck whether a price covers one arch or both, and what it includes. | Listed price$2,999 for mild to moderate cases The listed price is for mild to moderate cases; advanced cases may cost more. The provider does not say whether this covers one arch or both. Checked October 26, 2026 | Practice fees$1,350 to $4,500 Practices publish CandidPro fees from $1,350 for a small Elements case to a $4,500 average; Candid says providers average about $4,000. These are fees at practices we checked, not the provider's price; your practice sets yours after an examination. Checked October 26, 2026 | |
| Aftercare | |||
| Retainers | One set included. Ask what replacements cost. | PermaForm retainers, ordered through your dentist at the dentist's price. | |
| RefinementsConditions often apply. The review has the detail. | Not described. Ask whether extra aligners are included. | On Comprehensive cases, unlimited and free to the practice for three years from the first shipment; not included with Elements. Ask whether your fee passes that on. | |

In alphabetical order. This is not a ranking.
Who is included. A provider can be compared when we have a current review, new patients can start with it in the US, and we could confirm how treatment starts and how progress is checked. A missing price never rules a provider out: practice-set fees are shown as practice fees or as a quote. Being listed is not a recommendation.
Providers that have closed, changed or could not be confirmed are listed under Looking for another provider? on the reviews page. Prices and terms change, so confirm them with the provider before you pay.
