C5 Hidden Orthodontics
A fixed, behind-the-teeth option designed for discreet alignment in select mild-to-moderate cases.
If you want a low-visibility treatment without removable trays, C5 offers a refined approach—custom planned, fixed in place, and designed to blend into everyday life.
What is C5?
C5 is a fixed orthodontic treatment placed on the back surfaces of your teeth—so it stays out of sight in photos, conversations, and day-to-day life. It’s designed to be discreet while still giving your orthodontist precision and control.
C5 works best for select mild-to-moderate alignment concerns—often including crowding, spacing, or relapse after previous treatment. Your plan is personalized to your goals, anatomy, and timeline.
