Before and After

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).

Reading Smiles Teeth Straightening treatment process

CONSULTATION

Your first visit is to really understand what you want to achieve.

We take photos of your teeth and use our state of the art iTero scanner to take an accurate impression of your teeth.

CLINCHECK

Here comes the science! We send your impressions to Invisalign who create a video simulation of how your teeth will look at each stagealong with your custom, virtually invisible aligners.

TREATMENT

Within 3 weeks of your first appointment, we call you in to the practice to show you how to wear and care for your aligners.

You change your braces every 2 weeks and remove the aligners for meals and brushing.

What Our Patients Say

ioan florin Zabava

After giving 3 stars for the cleaning of my teeth, today I was having a wisdom tooth removal and I just need it to come back to this review to make it 5 because doctor Johana Zibova was exeding my expectations on how nice, professional, patient and being 100% shore that i won't feel the pain or uncomfortable with the procedure. Again, like I've said on my previous review, very clean, very professional all stuff and least but not last, they have in my opinion very very good prices. Just to get an ideea, what it costed me on them 270£, on another clinic they request 675£. I will let you judge if this clinic have good prices or not. Again, thank you very much guys but especially doctor Johana Zibova.

Alex Phillip

Huge thank you to Dr Sonam! Excellent treatment throughout and I’m so happy with the final results of my Invisalign 😊

Bin Tang

Nice experience with Reading Smiles service. Dr Krupesh is very patient with my tooth filling. After changing the material to Glass Ionomer, it works better for me so far.

Mary

Dayle was fab and attentive and professional ! Thank you.

Madalina Tilvescu

Great experience! Reading Smiles you change lives, not just smiles. Many thanks to all team for the welcoming and kindness.

jordan bedwell

Dr Dhillon is fantastic and my entire invisalign experience was super smooth. Couldn’t be happier with the result

Cal

I had an amazing experience at my hygiene appointment today. Dayle and Kalpae were absolutely lovely and made the whole appointment feel comfortable and easy. Ana and Mavara on reception were also so friendly, welcoming, and helpful from the moment I arrived. Such a lovely team and a really positive experience overall. Thank you all!

Megan Shuttleworth

I started my Invisalign journey just under a year ago and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Dr Yousif and Revu were amazing, they made me feel comfortable and well informed throughout the process. Dr Yousif’s experience with Invisalign made me feel more comfortable during my treatment since he had extensive knowledge and patiently answered my many questions. The receptionist team were always lovely and welcoming, especially Imogen who helped me to get started at the beginning of my journey. All in all a great experience and I am very happy with the final result!

Emilycrshea 99

Love Reading Smiles! Always a nice friendly, easy service. Daisy & Cloe both lovely on the front desk :)

Joyce Blake

Dr Johana is so kind. Taking the time to explain what was needed to be done and appreciating and understanding my anxiety especially regarding an extraction. The removal of the tooth was painless and her explanation of aftercare was detailed. A follow-up appointment reassured me everything was good and I could now start my treatment with Romosozumab for osteoporosis. Thank you so much Dr Johana for your care.

Daria Nalewajek

I had a really positive experience at the practice. The reception team is extremely professional, welcoming and friendly. Nigel is an excellent dentist. He is very professional, approachable and attentive to detail. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes you feel comfortable throughout the appointment. I really appreciate the care and attention. I would highly recommend Nigel and the whole team for their professionalism, care and welcoming approach.

Helen James

Dear Reading Smiles , I just wanted to say a huge Thank you to Dr Sonam and his lovely assistant Daisy for putting me at ease during my appointment . Dr Sonam is extremely thorough and very patient and talked me through the whole appointment and how healthy my teeth are. Can't recommend him more highly. Thanks again.

Mario Casha

Smile in Reading provided exceptional care and professionalism during my recent tooth extraction. The entire team displayed remarkable compassion and coordination from the moment I arrived until the end of my procedure. Mario, in particular, stood out as an outstanding individual who truly made a difference on a challenging day. They took the time to consider my health conditions, which made me feel genuinely cared for. Every team member, from the reception staff to the final procedure, contributed to delivering seamless and high-quality care. Dr. Johanna’s care was truly exceptional, and I felt completely at ease throughout the process. I highly recommend Smile to anyone seeking top-tier dental care supported by a kind and cohesive team. They truly go above and beyond to ensure patient satisfaction. A big thank you, during a difficult time.

Adam

Dr Johana and all of the team were incredible. They are always so welcoming, I highly recommend Reading Smiles

Jordan Hockley

Highly recommend this dental practice! After putting off going to the dentist for over 18 years following a traumatic experience, it was only a matter of time before I had to sit in that chair again! Eventually, it got to the point where eating had become uncomfortable, and despite my fear, I knew I had to do something. I was taken care of by Ajay, who helped me every step of the way, both with my anxiety and throughout the treatment. He was incredibly patient, reassuring and professional, which made the whole experience so much easier than I expected. Although the treatment is quite pricey, they do offer finance options, and in my opinion, the outstanding care and quality of the work made it worthwhile. I will happily be returning for my future treatment. So, to anyone who is scared or anxious about going to the dentist — don't put it off! I spent 18 years avoiding it, and honestly, it wasn't anywhere near as bad as I thought it would be. 😁 Thank you to Ajay and the team!

DyCe EbhIrons

Great experience, the staff are very welcoming and Dr Yusef was so helpful throughout the treatment and I’m very happy with the results

Pia fordham-weir

I'm getting my Invisalign with Ajay and he's so lovely and making me very comfortable with the experience! All the staff are incredible and so welcoming can't recommend this place enough!

Kieran O'Dea

I was recently treated by Dr Dhillon and Zeyneb, and they were both fantastic. They replaced a broken veneer and repaired several fillings. Dr Dhillon clearly explained all the available options and provided realistic timeframes for the treatment. Throughout the treatment, both Dr Dhillon and Zeyneb explained what was involved and made sure I was comfortable and experienced no discomfort. From my initial appointment through to having my new veneer fitted, they made me feel completely at ease. I would highly recommend Dr Dhillon and Zeyneb to anyone looking for excellent dental care.

Lucas Young

I've only had positive experiences with Reading Smiles. The staff are incredibly friendly. My appointments all happen on time. The facilities are clean. And I recently had a filling which is normally torture, but they made it incredibly painless and and and efficient so I'm glad to be one of their clients and will happily go there for not only routine dental work but I'm looking at getting implants there as well.

Kelsey Thomas

I’m so glad I found Reading Smiles! I was in a lot of pain and the lovely reception team managed to fit me in for a same day emergency appointment. Dr Sham was really kind and took the time to explain everything clearly, so I knew exactly what was going on and what my options were. Everyone made me feel really comfortable. Would definitely recommend!

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 🙏

A T

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
