Comfortable

Our tiny wires are super thin and comfortable, and you’ll barely notice them during treatment.

Confidence

Boost your confidence with your transformed smile.

Benefits of C5 vs. Clear Aligners like Invisalign®

  • Completely invisible. C5 for Teens is a completely invisible braces-like solution since the wires are placed behind your teeth where no one will see them! While aligners like Invisalign® are clear, they are still noticeable.
  • Designed to fit your active life. If you play sports, you need a custom mouthguard to go over your braces or aligners. That can feel awkward and uncomfortable. With C5, the wires are so small and comfortable you can use a regular mouthguard and focus on the game.
  • Fix and forget it. Once your C5 orthodontic memory wires are placed, you don’t have to give them a second thought. Aligners require a lot of maintenance. You need to wear them 22 hours a day and remove them every time you eat or drink (anything except water). And because the C5 wires are bonded to your teeth, there’s no chance of you misplacing them (unlike aligners).
  • No need to carry a toothbrush. With aligners, you need to brush your teeth after every meal. Every flavored drink. Every snack. This means brushing your teeth several times a day. With C5, brush twice a day as you usually would.
  • Keep every part of your healthy teeth. Have you ever heard the term “interproximal reduction”? It’s a little-understood part of the clear aligner process where the sides of crowded teeth are shaved to create additional space. In the process, healthy tooth enamel is removed. C5 works with your teeth as they are and gently moves them into place.
  • No food restrictions. Like clear aligners, you can eat just about any food without worrying that you will dislodge a wire.
  • No speech issues. Aligners may cause a lisp, especially at first when you’re getting used to them. With C5, there’s no adjustment period, and you’ll barely notice they are there.

After one of our doctors places your wires, we’ll ask you to come in every 5-7 weeks for wire adjustments when they are needed. We’ll check in with you virtually throughout treatment using our exclusive technology so that we can time your adjustments optimally. You can be sure our orthodontist is keeping a careful eye on your case, but we eliminate unnecessary office visits to save you time.

How Long Does the C5 for Teens Treatment Take?

Alta Smiles Teen c3Every patient is unique, and so is every treatment plan. While the timeline can vary depending on the situation, most patients complete treatment after 6-9 months. Since C5 can make your teeth straighter but not correct your bite, some of our teen patients opt to shorten their time in traditional braces by aligning their teeth initially with C5 and then finishing their smile journey with braces or sometimes even with aligners. We have innovative solutions to meet your needs and achieve your ideal smile!

How Much Does C5 for Teens Cost?

The price of C5 for teens depends on a variety of factors, which can include whether C5 is needed for the top, bottom, or both arches. However, our pricing is affordable (often more affordable than aligners) and all-inclusive. The quoted costs will cover bonding, retention, and everything in between!

Our providers offer flexible financing payment options to make C5 more affordable for your family. 0% financing and payments as low as $89/month through CareCredit may be available*. Most major dental insurances are accepted, and we’ll help you maximize your orthodontic benefit.

*Pricing subject to approval and provider participation.

Is C5 Only for Teens?

No, C5 Hidden Orthodontics is a great option for many adult orthodontic cases as well! It’s ideal if you had braces in the past and your teeth have shifted or relapsed. Even patients with complicated cases often start with C5 to reduce their time in braces or aligners.
