Fixed Braces In Reading
Still, the best all-round option for straightening teeth bar none!
Back in the day, fixed metal braces had a bad rap. Even now many a grown adult still shudders at the thought of having to wear them at school. Nowadays, however, fixed braces are a world apart from the clunky, train-track-style appliances of old.
Modern appliances like the fixed braces we provide at Reading Dental Spa, are sleek, lightweight and comfortable in the mouth. As such, they remain a popular choice for both children, teens and adults alike.
Nowadays, braces can be adapted to fit your preferences with tooth-coloured brackets and thinner wiring for a more discreet look.
Additionally, their core benefit is the ability to fix difficult and complex orthodontic issues. They are the original, all-rounders!
More About Fixed Braces
Fixed braces come in metal and ceramic plates called brackets and whichever you have, it’s important to know that they can fix a range of conditions. These include:
- Overbites,
- Underbites
- Crossbites
- Teeth overcrowding
- Unevenly spaced teeth
- Crooked teeth
- Abnormal teeth eruptions
As the name suggests, they’re permanently attached to the teeth for the duration of treatment and they move teeth using gentle sustained force. This is applied at regular intervals by our dentist who will tighten the wiring which, in turn, applies controlled pressure to your teeth, forcing them to move.
You don’t have to worry about anything other than keeping your braces clean and free from food debris and at the end of the treatment, you’ll have a perfectly aligned smile.
Our fixed braces in Reading are predictable, reliable and proven and once you see them, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
What To Expect From Your Fixed Braces Treatment?
Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you through the process:
Step 1 – Initial consultation
During a smile consultation, our highly experienced dentist will discuss your smile goals and talk about your options. Once agreed, a treatment plan is drawn up.
Step 2 – Braces fitting
During a quick and comfortable process, our dentists will place some bonding material on the front surface of your teeth. They will then place a bracket on each tooth, setting them in place with a hardening light. Finally, the wiring is threaded through and is held in place with ties. Once our team have issued you with aftercare instructions, you’re good to go.
Step 3 – Progress and adjustment
While every patient is different, you will need to revisit our clinic every 4-10 weeks for progress checks and braces tightening.
Step 4 – Braces removal
At the end of your allotted treatment, you’ll visit the dentist one last time to have the appliance removed. Now you’ll see how different your smile looks. You’ll also be measured up for your retainer. Once that’s done, you’re good to go!

“This dental practice has just opened, 2 brothers who already have a practice in Basingstoke. One of the cheapest compared to others in the area, was able to see me on the same day and had my root canal the next day. Fantastic service. Thank you.”
Levi Davies
“Highly recommend the Reading Dental Spa! Shervin and Shani are so friendly and helpful! I am starting my Invisalign® treatment here and I am so happy with the service I am receiving! Thank you!”
Bernard Waihenya
“This is a modern and professional dental spa that treasures its patients. Upon arrival, I was met by the receptionist who was warm and welcoming taking me through the initial sign-in procedures. The dentist was kind and gentle which is good as I’ve had some bad experiences with rough dentists. They’ve got a TV in the room that’s on the ceiling so that’s something innovative I’ve never really come across before. All in all, it's probably the best dental spa I’ve been to and will be coming back.”
Molly Aspinall
“Wonderful dental practice! Very modern set-up with a super professional team that put me at ease! Highly recommend.”
Andrea Pollard
“Today I visited Reading Dental Spa Stunning new Dental practice for facial aesthetics. On entering, the reception area has a very tranquil feel. After my consultation, we went through the surgery, which was pristine and full of exciting new-fangled modern gadgets. I can imagine that nervous dental patients would soon have their minds taken off the treatment with a TV on the ceiling and noise-cancelling headphones! The dentist has a very calming manner, and I felt like he listened to my requirements. The aesthetic treatment was painless, and I can't wait to see the results. Overall, this was a friendly five-star service I would happily return and recommend. Thank you!”
Mary Cotton
“I visited this new practice for the first time today and I have found my new dental surgery. I received a very warm and friendly welcome. Shervin made me feel very comfortable and explained everything very carefully to me. I have no hesitation in recommending Reading Dental Spa.
Stacey Mullins
“From the minute I stepped foot into Reading Dental Spa I felt very looked after by both the Dental nurse to the Dentist himself, which made me very relaxed especially as I’m a nervous patient. They went above and beyond to make my treatment as comfortable as possible. 10/10”
Alexandra Hawkins
“I recently went to this new practice and it's fantastic!! Very modern and fresh with polite and friendly reception staff and both dentists are great! I've had a hygienist clean and Phillips Zoom teeth whitening (currently half price). I normally go to Inspire Dental and realised that both dentists (brothers), worked there previously. The Spa itself is calming, contemporary and a completely different experience from other dentist practices. The TV on the ceiling is a fantastic touch, and very relaxing overall. I highly recommend it!!”
Satish Pakki
“Today, I visited the Dental Spa for a teeth cleaning. First of all, the clinic was extremely clean and well-maintained. Shani gave me a warm welcome and offered me a drink. Treatment-wise Dr Shaun did a great job I have never had someone take so much time and thoroughly to clean my teeth, and I feel much better after. Shani was quite helpful throughout the process, and she explained in detail the fees associated with future treatment plans, etc. Very lovely and courteous team, and highly recommended.”

“I recently began my Invisalign® treatment at Reading Dental Spa, and from the first visit, the staff has been incredibly friendly.”
