These braces, worn day and night, delicately realign your child\u2019s teeth, creating space for their adult teeth to emerge. This crucial phase also shapes their bite, ensuring the best possible development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Crafted from clear plastic, these braces maintain discretion, sparing your child from potential bullying due to sudden changes in appearance. By initiating plastic braces early, we establish a solid foundation for future treatments, reducing the likelihood of requiring adult teeth extraction later on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Functional braces<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Functional braces are worn around the clock to address protruding or misaligned teeth, targeting both the upper and lower teeth. Comfortably guiding teeth into the desired position, these braces effectively enhance both alignment and bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"740\" height=\"248\" src=\"https:\/\/www.parklaneorthodontics.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/qa.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8180\" srcset=\"https:\/\/parklaneorthodontics.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/qa.jpeg 740w, https:\/\/parklaneorthodontics.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/qa-730x245.jpeg 730w, https:\/\/parklaneorthodontics.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/qa-400x134.jpeg 400w, https:\/\/parklaneorthodontics.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/qa-600x201.jpeg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 740px) 100vw, 740px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Invisalign Clear Aligners<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Invisalign Teen aligners are an increasingly popular choice among younger patients aged 11-18 at Park Lane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These transparent aligners offer discretion while being worn for 22 hours per day.

These braces offer children the exciting opportunity to select their preferred colours &#8211; a great incentive for encouraging children to undergo orthodontic treatment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:32px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Children\u2019s Orthodontic Treatment in Reading<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your child is experiencing issues with their bite, we\u2019re here to help.
