Phase II Orthodontics at Utah Orthodontic Care
Complete Orthodontic Correction for Teens and Adults
Phase II Orthodontics is the second stage of a two-phase treatment approach and focuses on the complete alignment of permanent teeth and bite correction. Unlike Phase I Orthodontics, which begins while some baby teeth are still present, Phase II typically begins once most or all adult teeth have come in — usually between ages 11–13 or later.
At Utah Orthodontic Care, we offer a wide range of Phase II orthodontic options, including traditional braces, Invisalign®, and clear ceramic brackets. Our team of experts in orthodontics works closely with teens, adults, and families across the Wasatch Front to deliver confident, healthy smiles — with affordable financing, free consultations, and flexible appointment scheduling at all eight of our locations.
What Is the Goal of Phase II Orthodontics?
Phase II treatment is intended to:
- Correct misaligned teeth and bite issues (malocclusions)
- Guide the final position of adult teeth for optimal function
- Improve facial balance and smile aesthetics
- Reduce the risk of abnormal wear or jaw issues
- Prevent future dental complications and tooth movement
Our orthodontic specialists assess each patient’s growth, development, and specific dental concerns to recommend the most effective treatment — whether that includes braces, Invisalign, or a custom appliance.

Braces for Kids
Although many children begin treatment earlier, some may start full braces during their early teenage years. We offer metal, ceramic, and clear braces designed to correct crowding, spacing, and bite issues in growing kids. For children needing early care, we also provide Phase I Orthodontics and early alignment checkups.
Teen Invisalign & Braces
Teenagers today have flexible options for orthodontic care. We offer:
- Invisalign® Teen clear aligners for a discreet and removable solution
- Traditional and ceramic braces designed for active lifestyles
- Treatment plans that account for growth, sports, and confidence
Teens and parents can explore how clear aligners compare to traditional options on our Invisalign page.
Adult Orthodontics
It’s never too late to straighten your smile. Whether you’re correcting relapse from childhood treatment or starting for the first time, we offer personalized care for adults of all ages. We also support long-term results through retainers and post-treatment care.
Types of Braces
We offer multiple bracket and alignment systems to meet your goals and lifestyle:
- Metal Braces: The most effective and affordable option
- Ceramic Braces: Tooth-colored and less noticeable
- Clear Braces: Subtle and stain-resistant
- Self-Ligating Systems: Lower friction and faster adjustments
Learn more about what to expect during treatment on our Life with Braces page.
Invisalign For Adults
Invisalign is a popular clear aligner system that straightens teeth with removable trays instead of brackets and wires. Perfect for adults, Invisalign treatment includes:
- A digital scan and customized aligner trays
- Fewer in-office visits
- Easy brushing and eating with removable aligners
