What Is C5 Hidden Orthodontics?

C5 Hidden Orthodontics is a behind-the-teeth braces system that uses precision-engineered brackets and wires bonded to the lingual (back) surfaces of your teeth. Each appliance is customized based on digital diagnostics and your individual dental anatomy.

Treatment planning may include:

• iTero digital impressions for accurate 3D modeling
• 3D CT scanning when detailed imaging is clinically indicated

Because the braces are positioned behind the teeth, they are not visible from the front, making this option appealing to adults and teens in Lower Manhattan who prefer private orthodontic treatment.

Benefits of C5 Hidden Orthodontics in NYC

C5 Hidden Orthodontics is often selected by patients in the Financial District and surrounding neighborhoods who want a fixed appliance without visible brackets.

Potential advantages include:

• Placement behind the teeth for a discreet appearance
• Custom fabrication tailored to your bite and alignment
• No need to remove aligners for meals or events
• Continuous tooth movement with a fixed appliance

Patients comparing discreet treatment options may also consider Invisalign clear aligners or lingual braces, depending on clinical needs.

Who Is a Candidate for C5?

C5 Hidden Orthodontics may be appropriate for:

• Professionals working in the Financial District or near Wall Street who prefer a subtle orthodontic solution
