If you’re considering straightening your teeth but aren’t keen on traditional braces, Invisalign could be the perfect solution — and here at Dartford Road Dental Centre, we’re proud to offer this discreet, effective treatment to our patients in Dartford and the surrounding areas, read on to fiond out everything you need to know about Invisalign at Dartford Road Dental Centre.

As a long-established, fully private dental practice, we’ve helped hundreds of patients achieve the smile they’ve always wanted with Invisalign. Whether you’re new to us or have been with us for years, this guide will tell you everything you need to know about Invisalign, from treatment times and costs to the health benefits and the confidence boost it brings.

What Is Invisalign? – Everything you need to know…

Invisalign is a modern orthodontic treatment that straightens your teeth using a series of clear, custom-made aligners. These aligners are smooth, comfortable, and almost invisible — no metal brackets or wires in sight.

Each aligner is worn for around 1–2 weeks before moving to the next in the series, gently guiding your teeth into a straighter position. Because they’re nearly invisible, most people won’t even know you’re wearing them — making Invisalign a popular choice for adults and teens alike.

At Dartford Road Dental Centre, we use advanced 3D scanning technology to create a digital model of your teeth, so you can see a preview of your smile transformation before you even start treatment.  To find out more about our Invisalign treatment, head over to our Invisalign Treatment page https://www.drdc.co.uk/treatments/orthodontics/invisalign/.

How Long Does Invisalign Treatment Take?

The duration of treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case. On average, treatment takes between 6 to 18 months. Some patients with minor misalignments, such as the case seen here on the right, may see results in as little as 12 weeks.

You’ll need to wear your aligners for 20–22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking (anything other than water), and brushing your teeth.  At Dartford Road Dental Centre, we’ll guide you through every step and keep your treatment on track with regular check-ins every 6–8 weeks.

How Much Does Invisalign Cost?

We know cost is an important consideration. At Dartford Road Dental Centre, Invisalign treatment typically ranges from £2,625 to £3,950, depending on the complexity of your case.

We also offer interest-free monthly payment plans to help make Invisalign more accessible. During your free consultation, we’ll provide a personalised quote and explain all available finance options.

And don’t forget — if you attend one of our Invisalign Open Days, you can enjoy exclusive discounts and special offers!

The Health Benefits of Invisalign

Straightening your teeth isn’t just about appearance — it’s also about improving your oral health. Misaligned teeth can be harder to clean, increasing the risk of gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath.

Your aligners are removable, making it easier to brush and floss thoroughly. This helps maintain healthy teeth and gums throughout treatment.

Many of our patients at Dartford Road Dental Centre also report that correcting their bite has reduced jaw discomfort and made chewing more comfortable.

Feel More Confident in Your Smile

One of the biggest benefits of Invisalign is the boost in confidence it brings — both during and after treatment. Because the aligners are nearly invisible, you can go about your daily life without feeling self-conscious.

Once your treatment is complete, the results speak for themselves. A straighter smile often leads to improved self-esteem, greater comfort when smiling or speaking, and a more confident you.  To see some of our amazing before and after results, check out our Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/dartfordroaddentalcentre
