Smile Studio Penarth is a certified Invisalign practitioner.
The Invisalign treatment can transform your smile and improve your oral health by discreetly straightening your teeth.
There are no metal wires or brackets like traditional braces, which means that Invisalign aligners are comfortable, safe and virtually invisible.
They can be removed for short periods so that you can eat, drink, brush and floss as normal. You can even remove them for a night out or special event when you want to look your best. This means that Invisalign can fit into your daily routine with no fuss or embarrassment.
Straighten your teeth with 32Co, the clear aligner system designed by UK specialist orthodontists and delivered under the clinical supervision of the trusted team at Smile Studio Penarth.
Unlike mail-order aligners you fit yourself, every 32Co plan is co-created by a registered orthodontist and monitored in person, right here on Plymouth Road, so your treatment stays safe, precise, and on track from start to finish.

The Expert-Led Difference
Many patients choose 32Co because every treatment plan is developed with specialist orthodontic input rather than relying solely on software. These clear aligners aren’t a DIY impression kit posted to your door. Rather, treatment is planned in partnership between your Smile Studio dentist and a UK-registered specialist orthodontist, who work together to plan every tooth movement before your aligners are ever made.
Smile Studio has built its reputation on clinical precision and honest, family-oriented care, and 32Co reflects that same standard. Every patient receives a full in-person dental health check before treatment begins, ensuring their gums, teeth, and bite are genuinely ready to move safely. This combination of trusted local dentistry and specialist orthodontic planning gives patients confidence in their treatment.
For patients with more complex cosmetic concerns, such as chipped or uneven teeth, our dental veneers page explains how veneers can complement or replace orthodontic treatment depending on your goals.
Why Choose 32Co?
- Orthodontist Co-Planned – Your aligner journey isn’t generated by automated software alone. A real, UK-registered specialist orthodontist reviews and designs your tooth movements alongside your dentist, so your plan is clinically sound from day one.
- Unbeatable Predictability – Thanks to precise, specialist-led planning, 95%+ of 32Co cases finish in one refinement or fewer, meaning fewer adjustments, fewer appointments, and a treatment that goes largely to plan.
- Comfort & Discretion – Aligners are laser-trimmed to your gum line for a smooth, comfortable fit that’s virtually invisible when worn and fully removable for eating, drinking, brushing, and flossing as normal.
- Local, Supervised Care – Every stage of treatment is monitored face-to-face at our Penarth practice, not by post. That means real clinical oversight, not guesswork from a screen.
Your Treatment Journey
- Consultation – At Smile Studio, your dentist carries out a full in-person dental health check to confirm you’re a suitable candidate for 32Co, assessing your teeth, gums, and bite (subject to clinical assessment).
- Digital Scans & Bespoke Planning – We take 3D digital scans, photographs, and X-rays, which are sent to your specialist orthodontist to co-design a personalised treatment plan. You’ll see a preview of your expected results before committing.
- Aligner Fabrication & Fitting – Your custom aligner sets are manufactured and delivered to our Plymouth Road practice, where your dentist fits your first trays and talks you through wear and care.
- Wear & In-Person Monitoring – Wear each aligner for around 22 hours a day, moving to your next set roughly every two weeks. You’ll attend short, scheduled check-ups at Smile Studio Penarth so your dentist can confirm progress is on track.
- Finishing & Retention – Once your teeth have reached their final position, you’ll be fitted with retainers to protect and maintain your new smile for the long term.
Typical treatment time ranges from as little as 4 months for mild cases up to 18 months for more complex movements, depending on your individual assessment. Because aligners sit close to your teeth for most of the day, many patients also book regular visits with our hygienist during treatment to keep their teeth and gums in optimal condition.
Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions about the treatment or process? We've gathered the answers to what our patients ask most.
How long does 32Co treatment take?
Treatment length depends on your individual case. Mild cases can be completed in as little as 4 months, while more complex movements typically take between 6 and 18 months. Your dentist and specialist orthodontist will give you a personalised timeline following your consultation.
How is 32Co different from other clear aligners, including at-home kits?
Unlike mail-order or “at-home” aligner brands, 32Co Penarth is planned in partnership with a UK-registered specialist orthodontist and delivered under the clinical supervision of your dentist. You’ll have in-person dental health checks throughout treatment, rather than relying on self-taken impressions and remote monitoring, giving you a safer, more predictable result.
Am I suitable for 32Co clear aligners?
Most patients with mild to moderate misalignment are suitable candidates, but suitability is always confirmed through an in-person examination once we’ve examined your teeth at our Penarth practice. Your dentist will check your teeth, gums, and bite before recommending 32Co or discussing alternative options.
What does the cost of 32Co include?
Our pricing, from £2,600 for mild cases up to £3,995 for more complex treatment, typically includes your full course of custom aligners, retainers, and clinical care appointments throughout your journey. We also offer 0% interest-free finance plans so you can spread the cost, with your exact quote confirmed after your consultation.
