C5 Hidden Orthodontics provides an almost imperceptible way to align teeth, using hair-thin ProWire® bonded behind the teeth. From the first visit with Dr. William Layman, you’ll learn how this system works quietly in the background, offering a comfortable option for teenagers, adults, and parents exploring care for their children. With simple care routines and minimal disruption to daily life, C5 Hidden Orthodontics can help you achieve a more confident smile without drawing attention.

Understanding Invisible Braces Behind the Teeth
C5 wires sit flush against the lingual (back) surfaces of teeth, unlike traditional brackets or removable trays. This hidden design reduces the chance of irritation and keeps your appearance unchanged during treatment. Because the system is customized via a detailed 3D scan, each wire matches your dental anatomy and moves teeth with gentle, continuous pressure.
Treatment Process with C5 Hidden Orthodontics
Consultation and 3D Scan: During your complimentary visit, we gather a precise digital model of your teeth and discuss goals. This ensures the plan suits children, adolescents, or adults equally well.
Bonding the ProWire®: At bonding, the ultra-thin wire is affixed behind the teeth. You may notice light pressure, but most people quickly forget it’s there.
Adjustment Visits: Every 7–8 weeks, we adjust the wire to guide the next phase of movement. Remote monitoring tools let you share progress photos between visits, reducing extra trips when appropriate.
Ongoing Care: Brush and floss as usual. There’s no need for trays or special tools, making routine oral hygiene straightforward throughout treatment.
Benefits of Hidden Orthodontic Treatment
C5 Hidden Orthodontics offers a range of everyday benefits that make treatment simple and discreet. Here’s what patients appreciate most:
Truly Concealed: Wires remain out of sight even when smiling or speaking.
Consistent Comfort: No bulky brackets or removable elements; minimal interference with the tongue or lips.
Predictable Timeline: Many cases complete in about 6–12 months, depending on complexity. Continuous forces often lead to efficient progress.
Natural Speech and Routine: Most users report little to no change in speech. Normal brushing habits suffice, without extra steps for trays.
Tip: Keep regular check-ups and use remote check-ins as advised to stay on track with minimal office visits.
