Discreet teeth straightening with clinician-led, AI-assisted treatment planning
At Ashtree House Dental, we offer 32Co clear aligners as part of our teeth-straightening options. 32Co is a UK-developed clear aligner system that combines AI-assisted treatment planning with clinical oversight, providing patients with a personalised, well-monitored pathway to straighter teeth.
Whether you are considering aligners for the first time or are looking for an alternative to other clear aligner systems, we welcome patients from Wooburn Green, Beaconsfield, High Wycombe, Flackwell Heath and surrounding areas to come and discuss their options.
A thorough clinical consultation — including assessment of your teeth, bite and suitability — is always carried out before any aligner treatment begins.
32Co is a clear aligner platform developed in the UK that uses artificial intelligence to support treatment planning. The system allows clinicians to design a personalised tooth movement plan using digital scans of your teeth, with AI assisting in the design of the aligner sequence and movement stages.
Unlike some remote-monitored or postal aligner services, 32Co treatment at Ashtree House Dental is delivered in full under the clinical supervision of your dentist throughout the entire course of treatment. All assessments, progress checks and refinements are carried out in practice.
The aligners themselves are custom-fabricated to fit your teeth precisely. They are worn over the teeth and exert gentle, controlled forces to move teeth progressively into the planned position.
32Co aligners are suitable for a range of teeth-straightening concerns, including:
The suitability of aligner treatment depends on the nature and complexity of the tooth movements required. More complex orthodontic cases may be better suited to fixed appliances or specialist orthodontic referral. Your dentist will assess whether 32Co aligners are appropriate during your consultation.
32Co is a clinician-supported aligner platform developed specifically to give UK dental practices greater involvement in treatment design. Key features of the system include:
AI-assisted planning — the 32Co platform uses AI to help design efficient, predictable tooth movements, which your dentist reviews and refines before treatment begins.
Clinician oversight throughout — all stages of treatment are overseen by your dentist. Progress is monitored in-practice at regular review appointments.
UK-based system — 32Co is designed and developed in the UK, with a focus on clinical quality and accessibility.
Flexible treatment options — treatment plans can be tailored to different complexity levels, with options suitable for mild cosmetic concerns through to more comprehensive cases.
Your dentist will carry out a thorough clinical examination, assess your teeth, gums and bite, discuss your goals, and confirm whether you are suitable for aligner treatment. If you are, digital impressions or scans of your teeth are taken.
Your scans are used to create a digital treatment plan, assisted by 32Co’s AI-powered software. Your dentist reviews and approves the planned tooth movements before your aligners are manufactured. You will have the opportunity to preview the anticipated outcome.
Your custom aligners are fabricated and provided to you. Your dentist will fit the first aligner and ensure it is comfortable. Attachments (small tooth-coloured composite buttons bonded to certain teeth) may be required in some cases to facilitate specific movements.
Aligners should be worn for 20 to 22 hours per day, removing them only to eat, drink (except water), brush and floss. You will progress through each stage of aligners as directed by your dentist.
Regular in-practice appointments allow your dentist to monitor progress, address any concerns, and issue the next sets of aligners. These appointments are an important part of treatment.
In some cases, refinement aligners may be required to achieve the final planned position. Your dentist will advise if this applies to you.
Once treatment is complete, retainers are essential to maintain your result. Teeth have a natural tendency to move back towards their original position without retention. Your dentist will discuss the retention options available to you.
Aligner treatment with 32Co is suitable for many adults and older teenagers, but a full clinical assessment is required to confirm suitability. Aligners work best for patients who:
Treatment is not suitable during pregnancy, and certain complex orthodontic issues may require alternative or combined approaches. Your dentist will advise honestly on whether 32Co aligners are the right option for your individual situation.
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of the case and the extent of tooth movement required. Simple cases may be completed in a matter of months, while more involved treatment plans may take longer. Your dentist will give you an estimated treatment timeframe during your consultation.
The cost of aligner treatment varies depending on the complexity of your case, the number of aligners required and whether refinements are needed. We will always provide a full written cost plan before treatment begins. Flexible finance options may be available.

32Co aligners are made from clear, BPA-free plastic and are designed to be discreet when worn. Most people find they are not easily noticeable in day-to-day life. However, attachments — if used — are visible on close inspection.
Some patients notice a slight change in speech during the first few days of wearing a new set of aligners. This typically resolves quickly as you adapt.
You should remove your aligners to eat and drink anything other than plain water. Eating with aligners in can damage them and may stain the plastic.
Some patients experience mild pressure or discomfort when progressing to a new aligner stage — this is a sign that the teeth are moving and is generally short-lived. Significant pain is not expected and should be reported to your dentist.
Contact our team as soon as possible. In most cases, you will be advised to wear the previous set of aligners until a replacement can be provided.
Remote aligner services operate without in-person clinical assessment or ongoing face-to-face supervision. At Ashtree House Dental, all 32Co treatment is clinician-supervised throughout — from initial assessment to the final retention stage — in line with GDC standards and our commitment to your safety.
