What Is C5 Hidden Orthodontics? A New Way to Straighten Your Smile
If you want straighter teeth but aren’t excited about traditional braces or removable clear aligners, there’s another orthodontic option worth knowing about: C5 Hidden Orthodontics.
At Dabney Orthodontics in Midlothian, VA, C5 gives eligible patients a discreet approach to orthodontic treatment by positioning the system behind the teeth, where it stays largely hidden from view.
What Is C5 Hidden Orthodontics?
C5 is an orthodontic treatment designed to move teeth using ultra-thin wires bonded to the back, or tongue-side, of the teeth.
Because the system works behind your smile rather than across the front of your teeth, your orthodontic treatment can remain virtually invisible during everyday conversations, photos, work, school, and social events.
How Is C5 Different From Clear Aligners?
One of the biggest differences is that C5 is fixed in place.
Clear aligners are removable and generally require patients to consistently wear and manage their trays according to their treatment plan.
C5 works behind the teeth without removable trays to keep track of.
For someone who wants discreet treatment but doesn’t love the idea of managing clear aligners every day, that difference can be especially appealing.
Why Consider C5?
C5 may appeal to patients looking for:
- Discreet orthodontic treatment
- An option hidden behind the teeth
- Treatment without removable clear trays
- A fixed orthodontic system
- An alternative to visible treatment
- A treatment plan supervised by an orthodontist
The right orthodontic treatment ultimately depends on your teeth, bite, goals, and lifestyle.
Who Is a Candidate for C5?
Not every orthodontic treatment is appropriate for every smile.
During a consultation, Dr. Dabney can evaluate your teeth and bite, discuss what you’d like to change about your smile, and determine whether C5 or another treatment option is the best fit.
