The Smile Waiting at the End of Treatment
Picture yourself a year from now with teeth that sit in a clean, even row. You smile fully in photos at the E-Center events. You stop angling your face in pictures. That outcome is the point of Candid Clear Aligners, and for Sugar Hill patients it starts with a short drive of six to eight miles to our Peachtree Pkwy office.
Straight teeth do more than look good. A bite that lines up spreads chewing force evenly and often eases the jaw tension that crooked alignment causes. Teeth in a clean row trap less plaque, so you fight fewer cavities over the years. The cosmetic result shows first. The health result lasts.
What Candid Is and How It Gets You There
Candid Clear Aligners are a series of custom trays, each shaped to move your teeth a planned amount. You wear a tray about two weeks, then advance to the next. What sets Candid apart is the connected model: you share progress photos from your phone, and Dr. Friedman tracks your case remotely between trays.
Candid averages around $4,500. You get your exact cost and timeline at the free consultation, with clear pricing and no pressure, the same conservative approach this practice brings to every service.
Are You the Right Candidate?
Candid fits adults and teens with mild to moderate crowding, spacing, or bite issues who will keep the trays in about 22 hours a day. If you are disciplined about wearing them and managing your photo check-ins, you are well positioned for the outcome you want.
Aligners are not right for every case. Severe skeletal bite problems, teeth needing major rotation, or active decay and gum disease usually call for other care first. Dr. Friedman tells you honestly at the consult, and points you to Invisalign or braces if those serve you better.
Living With Your Aligners Day to Day
Each new tray feels snug for a day or two, which means it is working, then the feeling fades. You take the trays out to eat, so the foods you love at home or around Sugar Hill stay on the menu. You brush and floss as usual. Most people adjust within a week.
After your final tray, a retainer locks in the result. Wear it as directed and the smile you pictured at the start stays exactly where it belongs.
The Drive from Sugar Hill
Sugar Hill sits in the sweet spot between Cumming and Buford, so you are practically our neighbor. From the E-Center area, head toward Cumming on Peachtree Industrial and connect to Peachtree Pkwy. Our office at 1475 Peachtree Pkwy, Suite C-3 is only six to eight miles out, usually under 12 to 15 minutes. Parking sits at the building, and weekday mornings open at 7:30 if you want a slot before work.
Meet Your Doctor
An outcome is only as good as the plan behind it. Dr. Michael C. Friedman, DDS, has mapped roughly 20,000 cases over more than 20 years, so he knows what a finished Candid result should look like and builds yours toward it from the first scan. He trained at New York University, belongs to the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry, and is a third-generation dentist.
He built this practice on conservative, judgment-free care, no high-pressure selling, which is part of why so many Sugar Hill families have made the short drive and stayed. He lives in Marietta and sails on Lake Allatoona in his free time.

Local FAQ — Sugar Hill, GA
How far is Sharon Springs Dental from Sugar Hill?
A: Only six to eight miles, typically under 12 to 15 minutes to 1475 Peachtree Pkwy, Suite C-3. Sugar Hill sits between Cumming and Buford, so you are close enough that the occasional in-person visit is no burden. Most of your Candid checks happen remotely anyway.
What will my smile actually look like when I finish?
A: Dr. Friedman shows you a projected result from your digital scan before you start, so you see the planned outcome up front. Most patients finish with noticeably straighter, more even teeth. Your specific result depends on your starting point and how consistently you wear the trays.
Do Sugar Hill area insurance plans cover Candid aligners?
A: Many employer plans in the Sugar Hill and Buford area include partial orthodontic benefits, though caps and age limits vary. We check your specific coverage at the consult. Membership and financing options cover patients without insurance.
Can my teenager do Candid while staying active in Sugar Hill sports?
A: Yes. The trays are removable, so your teen takes them out for games and meals and wears them the rest of the day. Because Candid uses remote photo check-ins, treatment fits around a busy school and activity schedule.
How is Candid different from regular braces for getting straight teeth?
A: Candid uses clear, removable trays instead of fixed metal brackets, and it monitors progress through phone photos rather than frequent office visits. For mild to moderate cases the outcome is comparable, with less visibility during treatment. Dr. Friedman confirms it fits your case at the consult.
