What Candid Clear Aligners Cost
Cost is usually the first question, so here is the number. At Sharon Springs Dental, Candid Clear Aligners average around $4,500. Your exact figure depends on how far your teeth need to move, and you get that number at your free consultation, before any commitment. We quote clear pricing with no surprises and no high-pressure selling.
That up-front honesty matters to Alpharetta professionals who do not have time to chase vague estimates. You walk out of the consult knowing your cost, your timeline, and your payment options in plain terms.
Paying Without Dental Insurance
No insurance does not put Candid out of reach. The practice runs an in-house Friends and Family membership plan that lowers your out-of-pocket cost, plus patient financing that spreads payments into manageable monthly amounts. New patients can also start with the $149 new patient special for the initial exam, X-rays, and cleaning.
If you do carry PPO insurance, we file and track your claims and maximize whatever orthodontic benefit your plan allows. We check your specific coverage at the consult.
Easy Access from Alpharetta
Alpharetta sits about 12 miles south, roughly 18 to 22 minutes up GA-400 North to our Cumming office at 1475 Peachtree Pkwy, Suite C-3. Many Alpharetta patients stop in after work or grab a Saturday-adjacent weekday morning slot, since we open at 7:30. Even better, Candid's remote check-ins mean you make that GA-400 drive far less often than traditional aligners would require.
How the Treatment Works
Candid Clear Aligners are a series of custom trays. Each nudges your teeth a planned amount, and you advance about every two weeks. After your iTero scan and plan, you wear the trays and submit progress photos from your phone, and Dr. Friedman monitors your case remotely between trays.
That connected model is what makes Candid practical for a busy Avalon-area schedule. You get doctor oversight without building your calendar around office visits.
Who Should Choose Candid
Candid suits adults and teens with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues who will wear the trays about 22 hours a day and keep up with photo check-ins. If that is you, the investment pays off in a straighter smile and fewer trips up GA-400.
Candid is not a fit for every case. Severe bite problems, teeth needing major rotation, or untreated decay and gum disease usually need other treatment first. Spending on the wrong tool helps no one, so Dr. Friedman tells you honestly if Candid will reach your goal or if Invisalign or braces fit better.
What to Expect Day to Day
Each new tray feels snug for a day or two, then settles. You eat normally because the trays come out for meals, and you brush and floss as usual. At the end, a retainer holds your result, and we cover the cost of that retainer up front so nothing is a surprise at the finish line.
Meet Your Doctor
A step-by-step process depends on the person planning each step. Dr. Michael C. Friedman, DDS, brings more than 20 years of experience and roughly 20,000 treated patients to every case he maps. He trained at New York University, belongs to the Spear Study Club, and pursues ongoing education to stay current with digital treatment tools like the iTero scanner your case starts with.
As a third-generation dentist, he approaches each Candid plan with precision and explains every stage so you always know where you are. He lives in Marietta and sails on Lake Allatoona when he is out of the office.

Local FAQ — Alpharetta, GA
Is Candid cheaper than other clear aligner options here?
A: Candid averages around $4,500, which often runs below comparable in-office aligner systems. The right choice depends on your case, not only price. Dr. Friedman recommends the system that fits your teeth and routine at the consult.
Which Alpharetta-area insurance plans include orthodontic benefits?
A: Many Alpharetta employer plans, including those from large GA-400 corridor employers, carry partial orthodontic benefits, often with an age cap or lifetime maximum. We verify your specific coverage at the consult so you know your real out-of-pocket cost before deciding.
How long is the drive from Alpharetta, and is it worth it?
A: About 12 miles, roughly 18 to 22 minutes up GA-400 North to 1475 Peachtree Pkwy, Suite C-3. Because Candid handles most checks by phone photo, you make that drive far less often than with traditional aligners. Many patients find the clear pricing worth the trip.
Can I finance Candid if I cannot pay it all up front?
A: Yes. Patient financing spreads payments into monthly amounts, and the in-house membership plan reduces costs for patients without insurance. We walk through the numbers at your consult so the monthly figure is clear before you start.
Does the $149 new patient special apply to Candid?
A: The $149 special covers your new patient exam, digital X-rays, and cleaning, which gets you in the door. Candid is quoted separately at your free consultation, with membership and financing available. Ask the team how the pieces fit your situation.
