C⁵ Hidden Orthodontics is at the pinnacle of innovation in orthodontics, serving as The Third Modality™ while offering a truly hidden and comfortable treatment option. Its benefits appeal to both providers and patients, whether used as a standalone solution or in combination with braces and aligners for enhanced results.
The C⁵ method involves bonding orthodontic wires directly to the tooth surface for a low-profile lingual solution. Our proprietary devices and methods enable bracket-less sliding mechanics to move teeth comfortably, using well- established nitinol wire technologies.
C⁵ as a standalone treatment can address a full range of issues from minor to moderate anterior crowding, orthodontic relapse, improved aesthetics and even more complex cases. Typical treatment times range from 3-12 months. C⁵ is a popular solution for adults and teens wanting a concealed, comfortable option.
Patients with more complicated cases can start with C⁵ and finish treatment with Alta ClearTM Aligners for bite correction and posterior alignment issues. This option appeals to patients since it can reduce the time spent in aligners by 50% or more.
C5 provides impressive teeth straightening results as a standalone treatment, but it also works well in conjunction with other treatments for patients who prefer aligners and require bite correction or mid-course corrections. In those cases, C5 can be flexibly integrated before, during, and after treatment with:
Whether using C5 as a solo treatment or in combination with braces and aligners, our team provides full support from the time you submit initial images until the patient is ready for retention. We follow your patients along the way with our exclusive remote monitoring technology. Before each appointment, you’ll receive a treatment plan so you can maximize chair time.
Most patients prefer C5 as a standalone treatment, but the efficacy, comfort and enhanced patient satisfaction of this treatment option can be utilized even for patients who are in any brand of aligners or even with braces. Below are good examples of why providers and patients are wowed.

“In our practice, we see hundreds of C5 patients each year, with a high degree of patient satisfaction. Patients prefer C5 for a variety of reasons – the fact that it’s totally hidden, super comfortable, and requires no patient compliance makes it a no-brainer for most people. With Alta Smiles’ comprehensive support model, I’m hard-pressed to see why a practice wouldn’t offer C5.”
