Candid partners with dental GPO Sevāredent

Candid, the company behind its namesake clear aligner orthodontic system, has formed an alliance with Sevāredent Sourcing Solutions, a dental Group Purchasing Organization (GPO).

The new partnership follows Candid’s recent announcement that the company will be moving away from its direct-to-consumer business, to focus exclusively on its dental and orthodontic clients via its CandidPro™ service.

With a focus on the fast-growing DSO/DPO segment of the industry, Sevāredent serves over 1,600 dental and orthodontic practices nationwide.

According to Candid’s press release, the partnership would vastly increase its footprint while offering Sevāredent members a convenient clear aligner product – that minimizes clinical time while keeping patients engaged in treatment.

“Partnering with Sevāredent is a huge win for both of our organizations,” said Nick Greenfield, CEO and co-founder of Candid.

“We’re glad to see major players like Sevāredent recognize the value we can bring to their members, and we look forward to doing great things together.”

Blake Hibray, Sevāredent’s President, added: “As part of our ongoing effort to help bring new innovative technologies and supply chain value to our GPO members, we believe Candid will help increase patient access to top-tier orthodontic treatment while equipping our clinical partners with the latest in clear aligner technology.”

Founded in 2017, Candid partners with licensed dental professionals to deliver clear aligners to their patients. Developed by top-tier orthodontists, Candid champions an approach to clear aligner treatment that minimises chairside time while producing clinically sound results.

Founded in 2019, Sevāredent is a high compliant/commitment GPO that aspires to bring together like-minded partners to drive supply chain savings and operational efficiencies for its membership.
