  More info

  I recently contacted Candid to follow up on my treatment and obtain new aligners, but I was redirected to Pro Monitoring. I was informed that Candid had changed their business plan and could no longer assist with my treatment or aligners. I checked my email that they have on file and I was never emailed with this information or contacted in any way explaining this situation. When I made my purchase, I was assured that I would be able to buy additional aligners and address any issues with my treatment results. However, my teeth never aligned properly, and my last aligners are now worn out, causing my teeth to shift and regress.I have emailed and explained the situation, but the Candid Care Team has only advised me to seek help from a local dentist or orthodontist. I am disappointed that I chose Candid over other companies, only to be left without the lifetime availability of treatment and aligners that I was promised. This has resulted in an unsatisfactory outcome for my treatment. I am requesting a refund due to this incident.

  Candid cares greatly about the oral health of all of our customers and works to ensure any concerns get addressed. This customer originally started aligner treatment in January 2022 with a total of ******************* their treatment plan. Each aligner step is prescribed to be worn for a minimum of 14 days for 22 hours per day. The treating orthodontist is responsible for prescribing and overseeing treatment and determining when the customer should stop or change aligners during treatment. The consent form that the customer signed when starting aligner treatment states that "the results of orthodontic aligner treatment are not guaranteed" and there are several risks and limitations to aligner treatment. In addition, the consent form states that "treatment with aligners and/or whitening treatment is a process that involves both me and my treating provider, as well as all of the staff and technicians involved. I agree that I will reasonably cooperate with instructions given to me, including regarding such matters as when to change aligners; when to stop treatment; to provide follow up photos or other information as needed; and other matters". This section of the consent form has been attached to this response. In this case, this customer completed their treatment in November 2023 as prescribed by their treating orthodontist and was advised to move into the retention phase of treatment. This customer did not reach out with any end of treatment concerns or requested any additional treatment, therefore, Candid considers their treatment to be complete at this time. 
  
  In March 2022 Candid publicly announced that we will cease our operations in the direct-to-consumer aligner business and move to in-office treatment only under the name CandidPro. During this transition over the past 18 months we have had the privilege of providing continued treatment, retainers and support to our long-standing customers, we apologize if you were not aware of this change. 
  As of December 31, 2023, our direct-to-consumer business came to a close and we are no longer offering any additional treatment. Customers will need to contact a local dentist or orthodontist for any additional treatment if needed. We understand that this may cause inconvenience, and we sincerely apologize for any disruption this may cause. 
  
  We genuinely appreciate the trust you have placed in us during your time with Candid, and we extend our best wishes to you for your future endeavors.

  I purchased my retainers online in Dec of 2021. I completed my treatment plan. After you complete your treatment plan, you order a set of more permanent maintenance retainers every 6 months to keep you smile from reverting back. I called today to order my retainer replacement and they informed that they no longer offer this. I spent thousands of dollars to straighten my teeth, and now they no longer offer the retainer to keep my teeth straight. They advised to go see an orthodontist and spend thousands of more dollars to get a retainer. This is absolutely absurd, and was not stated in their terms and conditions when the order was placed. When I called for assistance they told me there was nothing they could do. They offered the treatment plan, have you pay for it, go through the whole plan, and then advise they don't offer anything any longer to maintain the teeths alignment.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  I will have to spend thousands of additional dollars for a orthodontist, to get retainers made after already spending thousands on the treatment from candid. My teeth will also shift back to their crooked position without a retainer that candid customers were told would be available.

  More info

  I purchased the aligner treatment plan on 9/21/2021 for $2299. This was done at their orthodontics office in **. I was shown a promised result and promised unlimited refinements until the desired result was achieved.There were issues with the treatment itself, most significantly that my entire first set of aligners aside from the first two were created with defects in the form of sharp spikes sticking out that cut into my tongue and caused serious pain. I was told I had to modify them myself which was a hassle but I was patient and went on doing this for the entire set. After completion the outcome was not near the promised result in my lower jaw so I went on to a second set for refinement and those aligners were fine.At completion of the second set I still had some misaligned teeth in the front of my lower set so I requested a final refinement per the promised service. I was told that they had decided to change their business model and that they were cutting off all service to customers who had purchased their treatment in the way I had. Support told me that to finish alignment I would have to go buy treatment somewhere else. Further, to even maintain the incomplete alignment that I had so far achieved I would need go seek treatment from somewhere else that could provide retainers as they have to be replaced every six months and Candid would no longer be selling those either.Since my treatment was not completed as promised and was cut short solely due to them deciding change business models and cut off all existing customers to save money, I requested some kind of reasonable compensation and offered some suggestions but was told they were unwilling to do anything. I am seeking partial refund to compensate for failure to provide the service as purchased.

  Candid cares greatly about the oral health of all of our customers and works to ensure any concerns get addressed. This customer originally started aligner treatment in August 2021 with a total of ******************* their treatment plan. Each aligner step is prescribed to be worn for a minimum of 14 days for 22 hours per day. This customer also completed 1 additional round of treatment in Feb 2024 which consisted of 10 additional steps. After review of their account along with notes from their assigned orthodontist, it was noted that this customer may need some additional treatment due to the customer's lower aligner not being fully seated on some teeth. Since Candid's direct-to-consumer business has come to a close and we are not able to provide this customer with the additional treatment needed, Candid has agreed to offer a 50% refund to the customer as resolution since they are not satisfied with their end of treatment results. Candid will provide the customer with next steps for our refund process via email and we will continue working with the customer until they receive the refund and are released from treatment with Candid.

  I purchased my aligner set through Candid in 2020. Candid states that you will need to purchase a new aligner every 6 months following the completion of your treatment. I completed my treatment, and then went on to purchase a new aligner. My husband and I spent around $2,000 dollars to go through this process. As Ive been in contact with a Candid care team member, Ive been informed that without any notice Candid has shut down their remote services and will no longer be offering new aligners. I asked if CandidPro would offer to recreate my same retainer for me to purchase, since its under the same leadership as Candid had been. They are unwilling. I asked for my molds of my teeth that were created in the process, in which they responded with saying that they had thrown them away. This is without my permission. I also asked for the 3D imaging that either CandidPro or another orthodontist could take to recreate my aligner and they said they are unwilling to share this information (again, weve paid thousands of dollars for, including the imaging/manufacturing designs of my own teeth). I was not notified of the closing down of this company. If I had been made aware, I would have invested in many aligner sets to get me through the years ahead. I was never given this option and now Im forced to start from the beginning just to get a fresh aligner. Formerly, I wouldve been able to purchase a fresh aligner for $99. In seeking quotes from local orthodontists, the price varies from $400-$2,990. In sharing this once again as a hope for Candid to recognize the unfairness of this, they were still unwilling to share any way to come to a solution despite the fact that theyre own process requires fresh aligners past the completed treatment date. I see MANY others share this same issue. Candid is responsible to help us achieve the smile that they promised us. We are unable to maintain the straight teeth we paid for without the ability to repurchase our fresh aligners.

  Candid cares greatly about the oral health of all of our customers and works to ensure any concerns get addressed. This customer originally started aligner treatment in October 2019 with a total of ******************* their treatment plan. Each aligner step is prescribed to be worn for a minimum of 14 days for 22 hours per day. The initial cost of treatment covers the first treatment plan and aligner kit which this customer completed. In this case, the customer has reached the end of their aligner treatment as prescribed by their treating orthodontist and has been in the retention phase of treatment. Regarding the customers request for the 3D model, the only scans we have on record are the initial scans that were taken from the customers PVS impressions to create their treatment plan. We do not have an individual retainer file/3D model that can be shared with the customer unless the customer had a custom retainer made after treatment was completed from new impressions, which this customer did not. 
  
  In March *************************** publicly announced that we will cease our operations in the direct-to-consumer aligner business and move to a business-to-business model. During this transition period we have had the privilege of providing continued treatment to our long-standing customers at no additional cost since then. Our Direct-to-consumer business closed on December 31, 2023. We apologize that you were not aware of this closure and change in business model.
  
  Due to this closure we offered all of our customers for a limited time the option to purchase up to 4 sets of retainers to maintain their new smiles. These emails to all of our patients went out in February 2024 to the email address on file with their account notifying them of this final offer. Each set of retainers last 6-12 months with proper care and cleaning as they should only be worn at night once customers have transitioned from 22 hour wear to nighttime only as recommended by their treating orthodontist the last day to order these 4 sets was March 15, 2024. 
  
  We apologize that we are unable to continue offering retainers to our direct-to-consumer customers. Customers will need to contact a local dentist or orthodontist for retainers in the future. We genuinely appreciate the trust you have placed in us during your time with Candid, and we extend our best wishes to you for your future endeavors.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:

  Thank you so much for taking the time to respond! As you can see in the screenshots I submitted, I never received an email offering the purchase of 4 sets of retainers/aligners from Candid. In addition, only offering 4 sets of retainers breaches the contract for customers who purchased our aligner sets through your program. We had many options to go through, however we chose candid in confidence hoping that we would get what we paid for. As a part of the program, we were told that we would need aligners for life to keep the smile that we paid for in place. Not only are we not able to do that, but had I received the email offering 4 sets of aligners, that would not last me a lifetime. This would then force me to spend additional money through another program even though I already paid for a straight smile through Candid. Now with the inability to purchase fresh aligners from you, my teeth have already shifted noticeably. I am extremely unsatisfied with my experience with Candid. I can see through others experiences with BBB that customers have been refunded. If I am unable to get fresh aligners through candid, my husband and I ask that we would also receive a refund considering we are now going to have to go through the entire process to re-straighten my teeth through another business.

  From 03/31/2021 - 12/21/2022 I received a virtually monitored orthodontic treatment through the company Candid *** the treatment was going adequately cosmetically, but problems arises at the end of treatment. Though my treatment had ended, and cosmetically my teeth looked better, my bite was misaligned, causing some of my front teeth to hit before my back teeth. I contacted Candid about the issue and they told me they could address the issue with refinements to my treatment. I was told I would receive an email to further this process, which I did. When I tried to continue this process I was told that the companies business model had changed and I would now have to go through a dentists, and they were no longer doing direct to consumer orthodontic treatments like the one I received. The problem with this was that no dentist was taking any patients within any reasonable time or within any reasonable distance from me. Frustrated I accepted that I would have a misaligned bite until a I had found myself in a position to use an in person orthodontic provider. In this meantime it was necessary to use Candids specially formed retainers to maintain the result of my treatment I had paid for. This wasnt an issue until recently at the end of 2023. The retainers are recommended to be replaced every 6 months. I am well overdue for a new retainer and have no means of purchasing one. The Candid app reroutes me to a virtual chat bot which tells me to reach out to a CandidPro dentist, and the order a retainer link does the same. Reaching out to a Candidpro dentist is an extremely costly and illogical endeavor. All new dentists are either, not accepting new patients, or accepting new patients, but not for a very long time and have no relationship to my previous treatment through Candid.

  I have 2 issues. Issue 1: I originally started treatment back in 2020. One of the final aligners in my kit felt extremely tight to the point of hurting. I reached out to Candid who told me to send pictures to their orthodontist. I did so, and was told not to worry and to go ahead.After a few weeks I started feeling immense pain in my front tooth. I then noticed it turned a grayish blackish. I went to my dentist and she told me that my front tooth had died and would require a root canal. She also told me it was caused by the Candid aligners. Since then I have been trying to get my front tooth rectified after getting the root canal. It's been a long process and a pricey one. On Feb 1 I reached out to Candid explaining what happened, providing proof from my dentist that the dead tooth was caused by the aligners. I received no follow *** even after reaching out multiple times until March 13th, where they cheerfully offered a 50% refund and pretended like we were in open discussion which we were not.Issue 2: Candid has informed me that they will no longer be doing mail to order aligners, which means I they haven't fulfilled their end of the deal, in which they originally stated they I need new ones every 6 months, and their maximum of 4 allowed retainers will only last 2 years. I have these for the rest of my life, so I have to seek treatment all over again. Any future help to fix my bite and teeth can no longer be offered since they don't do this anymore. I will not accept anything less than a full refund. Besides for needing further treatment which Candid no longer does, my tooth is dead as well. Refunding me is the right thing to do since Candid can no longer keep it's end of the deal.

  I purchased into the candid aligner program for my orthodontic needs, to straighten my teeth. I was informed by the company that now after completing the treatment they are suspending all online and mail to order aligner trays for the future and the only way to obtain aligners is to order through a dentist. However, they stated at the beginning of my treatment that aligners need to be replaced every 6 months so 4 aligners would only get me 2 additional years of treatment, meanwhile I have to have retainers now for the rest of my life to maintain straight teeth. They said the only option was to seek treatment is find a dentist first and start all over again. I reached out to the company to get my money back since they screwed up and I would have to start over to maintain my smile and that what they promised was no longer available but I have not heard anything back and it has been over a week. So now I am out almost 2 thousand dollars and the only way to order the additional aligners is through a new dentist only. Worst company to ever have gotten my teeth treated at.

  This complaint is about candid orthodontist. The sagas been going on for four years, but just recently they told me they were going to give me a full refund 2 and A half months ago. As per usual with candid once again, Ive been pursuing them with no result. They made me send back all my retainers and any other product that I had theirs . So I have no product left. They told me the orthodontist okayed my refund. Now its been over 2 1/2 to 3 months since theyve been trying to issue a check to me. And theyve gone silent on their end. Once again, this is brought me tremendous stress, emotional distress, and it become my second job. They continually lied to me and then go dark. The reason they finally decided to give me my money back is because they realized that they have not straighten my teeth in four years and it was appropriate for a refund. Just reimburse your memory theyve had me over the case of this four years due multiple mouth moles, which I never signed up for. Everything was supposed to be done at the office which I could walk to. But then they closed all their offices. So they changed their game plan And left me hanging out in the dark. I know Im not the only one that happened to. I can read other things on their website where people are unhappy and doesnt seem like a company that keeps its word.

  Candid cares greatly about the oral health of all of our customers and works to ensure any concerns get addressed. Our records indicate that the customer was approved for a full refund by their assigned Candid orthodontist, however, before the refund was able to be issued we needed to have the customer's current aligner kit returned. The kit was received by our lab on 1/16/2024 and legal was notified to move forward with the settlement and release form which is a legal document. This form was sent along with a direct deposit form to complete on 1/30/2024 to complete and sign. The forms were signed by the customer on 2/20/2024 and a copy was sent to **************** for the refund to be processed. Please allow up to 4 weeks for the refund to be processed by our finance department. Please let us know if you have any questions or issues with receiving your refund.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID# ********, and have determined that my complaint has NOT been resolved because:
  First of all their timelines are all wrong. I sent back the aligners much sooner than that. I also signed the paperwork for the release of the money over three months ago. Just because they decided to look at it on a certain date doesnt mean anything. They also said it was going to be three weeks until I got my check and now theyre saying four. So TBD as to as far as when I will actually see the money.
