You like your smile, but you want to love it. Maybe you have a special event coming up soon? A big birthday or a wedding, or perhaps you just want the confidence to smile widely in photographs?
A common issue that we see at Dartford Road Dental Centre is unhappy patients with crooked teeth.
As well as knocking your self-esteem, crooked teeth can also be difficult to clean, food sometimes gets stuck after eating, and flossing in crowded areas can be a difficult and sometimes impossible task. Trapped food often leads dental health problems such as gum disease and tooth decay as bacteria can become trapped in difficult-to-reach areas.
Unfortunately, crooked teeth also wear quicker than straight teeth and can become damaged more easily.
When we were young, the majority of our school class would have had the traditional ‘train track braces’. These are still available as an effective way to straighten natural teeth for advanced complicated orthodontic cases. However, improvements in cosmetic dentistry as well as a wide range of dental treatments have given us a more subtle and discreet option to create that perfectly straight smile.
At our Dartford-based practice, we have extensive experience in Invisalign orthodontic treatments. You can get your perfect smile by wearing a series of clear, removable aligners that gradually straighten your teeth. No brackets and wires, and none of the restrictions that come with metal braces.
Dartford Road Dental Centre has several Invisalign-certified dentists to give you the amazing result you have always longed for – Perfect straight teeth!
Invisalign belongs to a new generation of orthodontics that completely abandons the need for the wire and bracket approach of traditional fixed braces.
We provide you with a series of clear aligners (custom-fitted trays) that sit directly over the teeth. These are ideally worn 20-22 hours per day. Each tray is designed so that it will move your teeth gradually towards the final desired position, giving you the perfect smile you have always dreamed of.
Invisalign trays can be removed when you are eating and drinking. This offers both convenience and the ability to keep your teeth clean and healthy after meals. Fixed metal braces can be more difficult to clean after eating as food can become easily trapped between the brackets and the wire.
The length of treatment also depends on multiple factors, like how complex your case is and how often you wear your aligners.

Invisalign treatment can be a great solution for both adults and teenagers in the Kent region looking for a virtually invisible method to improve their smiles. The short answer to “Does it work?” is YES.
Invisalign is suitable for the following orthodontic issues:
You will initially see one of our Invisalign-certified dentists at our Kent-based practice for an initial consultation. If you are suitable for treatment, a 3D scan of your teeth will then be arranged.
Using our iTero scanner, you can go from imagining your amazing new smile to seeing it on screen.
Your dentist can guide you through the stages of treatment and map out your new smile using the 3D images taken by the iTero Element scanner. From there, you’ll get a custom treatment plan that’s right for you.

At the end of treatment, our Dartford Road patients feel they have a more attractive smile, feel more confident in themselves, and are happier to reveal their straight teeth when they smile than they were when they had crooked teeth.

“I would like to thank Dr Tosin Ogidan and the entire team at Dartford Road Dental Centre, for the excellent service and care I have received. I was quite apprehensive as I hadn’t been to a dentist for some time! However, I was made to feel entirely comfortable throughout, from the friendly and welcoming team at reception all the way through to the highly professional care I was given by Dr Ogidan. I am very pleased with the result and will be keeping up to date with my regular dental reviews with Dartford Road Dental care from now on.”
