Get Straight Teeth With Our Orthodontic Treatments

Crowded top teeth

Crowding of the upper teeth can make everyday oral care challenging, as tightly packed teeth are harder to clean effectively.

At Reading Smiles, we provide a selection of orthodontic treatments designed to correct crowded upper teeth, helping you improve your smile and overall dental health.

Crowded bottom teeth

Crowding of the bottom teeth can also make it very difficult to maintain a good oral hygiene routine.

Here at Reading Smiles, we offer a variety of orthodontic appliances for crowded teeth, helping to make you look and feel fantastic!

Crowded top & bottom teeth

When both the upper and lower teeth are crowded, maintaining healthy teeth and gums becomes increasingly difficult.

At Reading Smiles, we provide affordable orthodontic options that address overcrowding comprehensively, offering long-term solutions that enhance dental function and help you achieve a confident, balanced smile.

Spaced Teeth

Spaced or gappy teeth can impact self-confidence and make oral hygiene less effective, as food and bacteria may accumulate more easily.

Reading Smiles offers orthodontic treatments that gently close spaces between teeth, improving dental function and helping you feel more comfortable and confident with your smile.

Open Bite

An open bite occurs when the upper and lower front teeth fail to meet, often caused by habits, eruptive issues, or jaw discrepancies.

This condition can affect chewing, speech, and jaw comfort. Reading Smiles provides orthodontic treatments designed to correct open bites and restore proper function.

Over Bite

An overbite occurs when the upper teeth extend too far forward, often due to genetics or underdeveloped supporting bone.

This misalignment can irritate gums and wear down lower teeth.

At Reading Smiles, we offer corrective orthodontic solutions designed to realign your bite and improve long-term oral health.

Crossbite

A crossbite happens when one or more upper teeth bite inside the lower teeth, caused by misalignment of the teeth or jaws.

This can lead to enamel wear, gum issues, and bone changes.

Reading Smiles offers targeted orthodontic treatments to correct crossbites and support healthier dental function.

What Our Patients Say

Amy Clark

Dr Philo is so lovely and welcoming, also always asked if I was ok during treatment (teeth fillings) and also (hygienist appointment) highly recommend seeing Dr Philo at Reading smiles! Will definitely be booking him in for my future treatments.

Alex Marcu

I've had an amazing experience with Reading Smiles 😊. Krupesh was outstanding from the beginning. Very detail oriented and perfectionist. The whole team was polite and helpful. Huge thanks guys 🙏

I’ve dealt with a number of the team here throughout my journey so far, including Dr Sami Chabani for my Invisalign, Dr Sonam Sherpa for an extraction, Dr Francisco Amorim and Dr Philo Menon, and I genuinely cannot speak highly enough of everyone. I’ve never been to a dental practice where I’ve felt so comfortable and at ease. Every dentist, nurse and member of the front-of-house team I’ve met has been absolutely fantastic. Imogen, my treatment coordinator, has been so helpful and lovely throughout, and Mario never fails to put a smile on your face when you come in! I especially want to thank Dr Sonam. He had the rather unpleasant job of doing an extraction that I was really not looking forward to, but he did absolutely everything he could to make the experience as comfortable and stress-free as possible. He was so reassuring and personable throughout that it genuinely felt like having a friend there with me, which made such a difference during something I had been dreading. Dr Philo is equally wonderful, incredibly gentle, kind and just such a lovely person. He makes you feel completely at ease and genuinely cared for. Dr Francisco has also been fantastic, and the same goes for every nurse and member of staff I’ve encountered along the way. I’m still at the beginning of my Invisalign journey with Dr Sami but my experience with him so far has been great. He has been clear, reassuring and professional throughout the process, and I’m really looking forward to the upcoming appointments, starting treatment and eventually seeing the results! There really seems to be such a lovely atmosphere amongst the entire team. Dental treatment can be nerve-racking at the best of times, but everyone here has managed to make my experiences genuinely positive. I feel very lucky to have found a practice where I feel so comfortable and well looked after. A massive thank you to the whole team, you’re all amazing!

Becky Bateman

Dr Mo was incredible from start to finish; he is clearly very qualified and highly skilled at composite bonding, which I had on the top teeth. He is very friendly, takes time to provide an individualised service and is meticulous with detail. He took time in the consultation to listen and advise, provided me with the best set of white top teeth and three in a complimentary mouth guard and whitening pack. I am delighted with the results and cannot stop smiling! Thank you so much, I would recommend him to everyone! Photos of before, during and after!

Daniel Paton

I had Invisalign treatment with Dr Krupesh, he was extremely helpful every step of the way to get the desired outcome I wanted. Highly recommend, thank you.

Will Johnston

I had composite bonding done with Dr Yousif and he and the clinic couldn’t have done a better job. The care and attention to detail he showed really put me at ease, adding in the small details that really make the result look natural. I also really appreciate Imogen for coordinating the treatment and answering all my questions :)

Olietta Bellou

I couldn't be happier with my experience at Reading Smiles! From the moment you walk in, the front desk team makes you feel welcome and comfortable. Dr Philo is exceptional—thorough, gentle, and clear in explaining every step of the process. You can tell they genuinely care about patient comfort and delivering high-quality care. If you’re looking for a skilled, compassionate, and reliable dental practice, I highly recommend them!

louie steinborn-busse

I have recently joined the practice and have been seeing Ajay, all of my treatments so far have been seamless and I could not recommend him enough!

Mike Teskey

Commented on the wonderful treatments previously but would like to mention the reception staff. Having been a manager for John Lewis then a major airline for 40 years, I recognised and acknowledge great service. The reception team are amazing with knowledge understanding and patience, they really add to the Reading smiles experience and I hope they are recognised and valued by the organisation. Having transferred my customer from a practice which I have used for 20 years, they make it a joyful transition. Since joining Reading smiles, I have recommended many friends to join me. WELL DONE RECEPTION STAFF 👏

Mike Yandrasits

I recently had two crowns fitted at Reading Smiles by Dr Yousif Alwandi. He clearly explained why the crowns were needed and what to expect during the procedure. The area was thoroughly numbed before tooth preparation, and I felt no discomfort during the work. My permanent crowns feel comfortable and natural, and I’m very pleased with the result. I’ve been a patient at Reading Smiles for three years and find the entire team is friendly, efficient, and consistently provides excellent care.

ANDREW LATTIMORE

5 star and continued excellent service provided by Dr Philo and Dr Sonam and his team. Fully met my expectations. Service was transparent, clear and concise. Professional consultancy performance carried out from checking in at reception, on time, hygiene, dental, advice and future appointment all meeting the requirements. Looking forward to my next dental appointment. Recommend Reading Smiles without hesitation.

Colleen Hughes

After MANY years of not going to the dentist due to a fear of them, then having to undergo chemo for breast cancer, I found myself forced to go to the dentist. Dr Pritesh and his team at Reading smiles made me feel less worried and talked me through all treatment. His knowledge of what was needed in regards to my current treatment made me feel confident in his judgement. I can only thank him and his team for their patience.

Giovanna Russo

I had an excellent experience at Reading Smiles. From the moment I walked in, everyone at reception was incredibly welcoming, friendly, and professional. They made me feel comfortable straight away. A special thank you to Dr. Philo Menon. He was absolutely fantastic—kind, patient, and took the time to explain everything clearly. His professionalism and caring approach made me feel completely at ease throughout my appointment. The overall service was outstanding, and you can really tell the whole team genuinely cares about their patients. I highly recommend Reading Smiles to anyone looking for high-quality dental care. Thank you all for such a great experience!

Emma Biddle

10/10 I couldn’t recommend Reading Smiles enough! Dr Dhillon has been absolutely brilliant and is, without a doubt, the best dentist I’ve ever had. He’s completely transformed my teeth, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. Everyone at Reading Smiles is genuinely so friendly and welcoming. They always make you feel comfortable from the moment you walk in. Thank you for such amazing care!

Sumita Ganguly

Dr. Menon Philo - The most amazing dentist ever I went in today as my tooth filling had come off and it was causing me a great deal of pain and sensitivity. Dr Philo saw me and he is one of the most amazing dentists and human beings I have ever met. He gave me a full hour for a 10 min emergency appointment at no extra charge. He extensively went through the reason why I was in pain, did the scans, and put a new filling in place. The relief and the satisfaction was beyond measure and all I can say is THANK YOU and may you be the most successful dentist ever! His gentle manner and the way he checked on me to ensure I felt safe and comfortable is beyond measure!

P Rodas

The team at Reading Smiles is amazing. From the moment I stepped in, they have treated me well, listened to me and always made sure I was fully informed on my treatment options. From the dentist (shout out to Dr. Ajay and the nurses), the hygienist and all the lovely ladies at reception, they are all incredible people. I am very glad I chose to go with Reading Smiles as my new dentist

Bob House

Always a pleasure to visit! Dayle is an extremely likeable and professional person who does an amazing job. Every time.

shabana akhtar

I’ve recently moved to Reading and did a lot of research on dentists and I am so pleased I picked Smile! I first spoke to Amelia who was exceptionally professional, understanding and answered all my questions. All the receptionists have been so well trained - so polite and kind and welcoming from the minute you walk into the surgery. Now let's talk about the treatments. I had my check-up with Dr Francisco and he didn't rush (like some dentists do), he cares - he focused on me, made sure I was comfortable, explained everything he was doing and gave me some excellent advice and options. I have never felt so happy visiting a dentist. I then today, had my hygienist appointment with Miss Eniko - such a lovely lady. She tried everything to make the experience comfortable, stopped when I twitched and I'm very happy with how my teeth look now. To top it up, just rang the receptionist now and spoke to lovely Amelia again. Took her less than a minute to answer my call and an invoice fell into my inbox at lightning speed. What more can one wish for! I have now persuaded my husband to join Smile and after watching their videos in the main reception and seeing the kindness but also the exceptional calibre of the staff, I am contemplating bringing my mum here and she lives in High Wycombe! but I would do it just for the excellent care and service that Smile would give her...... Thankyou to the Smile Team. I'm grateful.

Hing Sang Tam

I visited this morning for the first time for an implant consultation. Dr Sherpa Sonam was very friendly, made me less nervous, and of course gave me valuable advice. Although an implant would be a little bit costy for me at the moment, Dr Sherpa suggested alternative treatments to improve my situation of my teeth. I am looking forward to the treatment coming up.

reena nayani

Teeth Straightening For Adults And Children

Whether you have a couple of teeth to bring in line, or need work across your entire dentition, we have a solution for you.

Modern orthodontics, such as those listed below, work in weeks rather than years and are generally either clear or entirely invisible.

What’s more, treatment can be surprisingly affordable, especially with our range of payment plans (subject to age and status, minimum spend applies).

We’ll Put You at Ease

Our teeth straightening treatments are tailor-made to suit your unique alignment and to give you the results you’d like to see.

At Reading Smile Rooms, it’s our aim to give you the beautiful smile you’ve always wanted, enabling you to have the confidence to show off your pearly whites wherever you go.

This also means we are available for consultations to answer your questions and put your mind at ease.

We understand how treatments such as teeth straightening can be intimidating — our expert team of professional orthodontists can talk you through the whole process, and even show you the equipment we use so that you are fully prepared for the treatment itself.

Orthodontic treatments with our team of expert orthodontists are efficient and safe.

Our specialists are highly experienced and have worked with hundreds of patients over the years to give them perfect smiles.

How can you look after your smile?

There are simple things you can do to make your treatment even safer in the long term, however.

One major action you can take is to make sure you brush regularly between meals, to ensure no food becomes stuck between your braces, and that any excess plaque is removed.

Orthodontic hardware is perfectly safe, but it can make it easy for bacteria to breed in your mouth, so keeping your mouth extra clean will stop any initial signs of decay.

We can also offer professional cleaning to make sure your orthodontics are perfectly clean and safe, but also to give you the confidence to keep smiling, even throughout your treatment.

When you first have your teeth straightening orthodontics installed, you may experience some discomfort.

This is normal — remember, you are moving your teeth’s position inside your mouth! Your jaw, gums and teeth will soon adjust to the pressure, though, and you will find that it won’t take long at all for you to become used to the sensation.

Often, over time, our clients tell us they forget they are even there.

Is teeth straightening covered by the NHS?

The cost of teeth straightening can be covered on the NHS for children and is also considered an NHS treatment if you need orthodontics for health reasons.

Teeth straightening for cosmetic reasons is not covered by the NHS, though This is why at Smile Rooms Reading Smiles we have a range of payment options to make the whole process affordable and accessible for you.

Orthodontic FAQ’s

What is orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment can not only improve the appearance of your teeth but it can also improve the health of your teeth!

By undergoing orthodontic treatment and straightening your teeth, you are spreading the biting pressure more evenly across all of your teeth.

This in turn alleviates the strain on your jaw muscles, the same muscles that can often cause issues with your jaw joints.

Why should I have orthodontic treatment?

Orthodontic treatment does not only improve the overall appearance of your teeth and smile, but it also helps to improve the long term health of your teeth!

By straightening your crowded or “crooked” teeth, orthodontic treatment will improve how your teeth bite together.

Often people’s teeth do not meet together correctly, but this puts unnecessary strain on your jaw muscles and also damages your teeth.

This can also lead to jaw joint problems which can sometimes also be accompanied by headaches.

When is orthodontic treatment used?

There are a wide variety of dental problems that orthodontic treatment can solve. These include;

Crowding of the teeth. Crowding is often caused when there isn’t enough space for your teeth in your mouth. This can often be due to having a narrow jaw.

Protruding upper front teeth. Protruding teeth are one of the most common causes for the requirement of orthodontic treatment.

Impacted teeth. This is when some of your teeth grow in the wrong position, so they may not emerge as they should.

Asymmetrical or “crooked” teeth. This is when your upper and lower teeth do not match up together.

A deep bite is when your upper front teeth almost completely overlap the lower front teeth and a reverse bite is when your upper teeth bite inside of your lower teeth. An open bite is when your upper and lower front teeth do not touch when your jaw is closed normally.

Will I need to have any teeth taken out to make room for orthodontic treatment?

Many people suffer with overcrowded teeth.

Often, we will be able to move your teeth to make room, but in some cases, some permanent teeth may need to be removed in order for there to be enough room.

Everyone’s teeth are different, so here at Reading Smiles, our award winning team will advise you on the best solution for your personal case.

How do you straighten my teeth?

Here at Reading Smiles, we offer a wide range of orthodontic treatments, which are all most commonly referred to as “braces”.

In order to ensure that we have treatment options available to suit everyone’s own individual needs, we carry out multiple orthodontic options such as the discreet, Invisalign, clear removable braces.

Click here to find out more about the complete range available.

How long do orthodontic treatments take to complete?

Depending on a number of factors, including the complexity and severity of your own individual case, orthodontic treatment can take between 5 to 24 months to straighten your teeth.

At your initial consultation at Reading Smiles, we will advise you on all of the different treatment options that are available to you and provide you with an estimate of how long they will take to complete, in order to help you to make an informed decision on which orthodontic treatment to go ahead with.

How many visits will it take?

This depends entirely on the type of orthodontic treatment that you chose to have.

This could be visits between every 2 weeks to every 8 weeks.

Will it hurt?

This is one of our most frequently asked questions here at Reading Smiles.

Braces may feel strange at the beginning of your treatment and can cause some slight discomfort.

This often only last for a short period of time as your teeth and mouth will quickly settle and adjust to the brace and usually, after just a couple of days, most discomfort will have subsided.

How much will braces cost?

The cost of straightening your teeth will vary, depending on the type of orthodontic treatment and the severity of your case.

Here at Reading Smiles, at your initial consultation, we will offer you guidance on all of the different orthodontic options available to you, which will also specify the costs of the treatment options discussed.

No matter which orthodontic treatment you decide to go with, you will receive complimentary teeth whitening (worth £295) and removable retainers (worth £150) at no extra charge!

What causes crooked teeth?

There are a multiple number of reasons as to why your teeth may have grown, be growing crooked or sit overcrowded.

They can be inherited from your parents. Often the children of parents that suffer with malformed jaws are more likely to have crooked teeth.

Sometimes, your baby teeth may fall our too early, this can also be a cause for crowded or crooked teeth.

Another common reason can be that your jaw is too small to accommodate for all of your adult teeth.
