Clear Removable Aligner Braces
Clear aligner braces from 32Co are the best option if you want to prioritise comfort and discreteness.
Professor Johal works for 32Co as their Clinical Lead in Orthodontics. So it's fair to say he is an expert in using the 32Co system to get the best results for my patients. He also treats severe snoring and sleep-related issues with the company.
The choice of brace will also be dependent on the severity of the presenting problem and the bite - all patients will undergo a consultation before making this decision. At this consultation I will provide you with an honest appraisal of the relative advantages and disadvantages of the modern brace systems available, including their relative costs. I will then translate these benefits and limitations on a rating scale basis [out of 10].
These are a series of clear removable braces that straighten teeth in a gradual, comfortable, and aesthetically-pleasing way. They have been successfully used to treat thousands of patients world-wide.
The benefit of a 32Co aligner over other brands is that it gives patients maximum control over the smile they want - I can choose the right materials, treatment times and number of add-ons like attachments to have the best impact with your comfort in mind.
Things to be wary of:
• Clear aligners aren't suited to all patients and their bites.
• Your treatment could include white attachments, little nodules which are temporarily glued to the teeth, in order to improve the quality of tooth movement achievable.
• There is a small risk they can be uncomfortable and can also affect speech slightly whilst the patient learns to adapt to them [1-5 days].
