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.

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.

What Our Patients Say

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.

Yiolina Sarri

Everytime I visit I receive excellent dental check up and treatment by Dr Menon and Zeyneb.

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.

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.

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

Dr Mo was fantastic! He fixed my chipped tooth in a matter of minutes. I was genuinely surprised at how good the result was. Equally importantly, he was very kind and communicative throughout. Very highly recommended. Ellen

Michelle Daniels

Krupesh Patel was an excellent clinician and I am glad at how well of a job he did for me on my treatment!

cesare lupattelli

This is a great place to go take care of your teeth. The team is very professional...would highly recommend to anyone.

B EH

I was quite nervous about needing a complicated root canal, but Dr Marina completely put me at ease. She was so gentle, patient and kind from start to finish. The treatment was spread over two fairly long appointments, yet I didn’t experience any pain or discomfort at all. I really appreciated how professional she and her nurses were throughout. I’d also like to mention the reception staff, who were always friendly, polite and happy to help. Everyone made what could have been a stressful experience much easier. Thank you all!

Sarah Nitchkey

Excellent service! Everyone was friendly, kind, and put me at ease. The space is lovely and well-maintained. They were very kind about me needing headphones and a fidget during my appointments. It can be a bit warm upstairs, so wear layers if you're sensitive to temps.

I've been avoiding dentists for the past 15 years, based on previous bad experiences and knowing that I desperately needed some work done, but felt ashamed about the state of my teeth. I was highly recommended Reading Smiles. I had a great hygienist appointment and some much needed dental work with Dr Philo Menon, who put me at ease from my very first appointment and has looked after me. I'm so impressed with the treatment and care that I've received so far, that I've decided to have invisaline, something that I wanted to do many years ago. I've received great service by highly skilled staff, in a clean and modern practice at decent prices. I can't recommend Reading Smiles high enough!

Hereward Hall

Very good practice. Both friendly and professional. Dentist I am assigned to, Dr Sonam, is very good. Already had 2 sessions of dental surgery.

Maria Gonzalez

Dr Shona has been fantastic throughout my treatment. He is professional, caring, and always takes the time to explain everything clearly. My implants blend so perfectly with my natural teeth that you cannot tell the difference. The only downside is that appointments often run about 15 minutes late, but the excellent care and results more than make up for it. Highly recommended.

Colin Richardson

On my first visit to Reading Smiles I was greeted by friendly receptionists. The interior of the building is immaculate and I was put at ease with all the staffs kindness and professionalism. It’s immediately obvious that they are all very considerate and excellent at what they do.

Gabriela Fok

I have been a client at Reading Smile with Dayle (Greenfield) for a couple of years. The team at Reading Smile are friendly and professional, and Dayle has helped me to sort out a lot of my problems, as well as referring me to specialist (Marina Spanaki) to get me the most effective treatments. Every single one of the clinician's I have met are really helpful and I am grateful for every visit.

Matthew Venter

Just had a flawless 5/5 Airflow hygiene treatment with Dr. Philo. Would highly recommend.
