Candid ships patients diagnosis kits and has an app walk patients through treatment. The standard plan takes about 32 weeks, with aligner switches every 14 days. An assigned orthodontist tracks progress, either through the app or in person at a Candid studio.
Candid’s new Dental Monitoring treatment plan provides AI-based remote monitoring capabilities to help bridge the gap between orthodontists and remote patients, Lilla Cosgrove, Candid co-founder and CIO, told Forbes.
The program checks in every seven to 10 days to ensure patients are wearing aligners correctly, Ms. Cosgrove said. Patients put a cheek stretcher in their mouth and take pictures of their teeth with and without the aligners. AI analyzes the images based on the last aligner change and sends that information to an orthodontist for further analysis.
Treatment for patients with Dental Monitoring takes 20-30 percent less time than those using the standard Candid program.
