Phase II Orthodontics

Phase II orthodontics is the full treatment phase that begins after the loss of baby teeth and the eruption of all permanent teeth. Dr. Rehana Khan provides comprehensive Phase II orthodontic care for teens in Los Angeles, California, ensuring that their smiles are properly aligned and healthy.

Phase II treatment usually follows Phase I, but there can be a gap of several months to years between the two phases. This gap depends on the timing of the eruption of permanent teeth. For some patients, Phases I and II might be combined into a single, continuous phase. After Phase I, if further treatment is needed, it typically involves full braces or Invisalign® clear aligners.

For teens who did not undergo Phase I treatment, Phase II becomes necessary once all permanent teeth have erupted, which generally happens between ages 11 and 14. However, there is no age limit for benefiting from orthodontic treatment. Growing teens often have shorter treatment times compared to adults due to the facilitation of tooth movement by the natural growth process.
