Why Should I Get Braces?

Improved Oral Hygiene

Though you may feel you already take good care of your teeth, straightening your smile with the use of braces or Invisalign clear aligners can make caring for your teeth even easier. When your teeth are crooked, the many crevices givefood particles, germs, and bacteria extra hiding spots to stow away in. When teeth are straightened, it makes brushing and flossing more effective, because there are fewer places for plaque and bacteria to hide, and even the difficult-to-reach places become easier to get to. This leads to an overall healthier mouth and smile!

Everyone Deserves a Great Smile

Utah Orthodontic Care believes that everyone deserves the benefits of braces at an affordable price. Whether you have a child ready to begin early treatment, or you’re an adult considering braces, having a healthy, beautiful smile can provide a boost of self-confidence. And with clear aligners like Invisalign, teens and adults can be less concerned about how orthodontic treatment might affect their daily lives.

With our easy financing options, anyone can afford their dream smile!

“Great orthodontics! I got my braces at UOC and they’ve been so amazing! First appointment is free, they’ll evaluate your teeth and talk to you about braces option options and prices/ plans.My dental insurance did not cover braces for adults ( I chose not to when I made my plan ) and even if I switched my plan I don’t think it would be a nice affordable plan like UOC offered me with monthly payments … I’m happy with them! They were always nice, friendly and flexible with schedules! Recommend it 100%!”

“I love this office. The doctor is fun with the kids, very friendly and approachable. The staff is typically very easy to work with and any time we have any question or concern they have been quick to make it right with us. We had a billing hiccup and Lauren was incredibly understanding and made the process to fix it easy. As a lower income family with multiple kids needing orthodontic work, this has been a huge weight off my shoulders. I cannot recommend them enough.”
