Introducing SOLO - Smarter, faster clear aligner treatments with a price-match guarantee

The UK’s fastest-growing clear aligner brand is the first in the industry to replace all technicians with orthodontists. That gives dentists more predictable, more clinically rigorous and safer treatments. 

The idea sprung from 32Co’s award-winning DUO service, which allows dentists to collaborate with some of the best orthodontists in the UK. 32Co realised that orthodontist-planned cases get the best results, but the 360-degree support offered by DUO wasn’t right for some more experienced dentists. 

Enter new SOLO. 

SOLO is designed for the busy modern dentist who values speedy, efficient treatment plans at unbeatable prices, with the extra reassurance that plans have real expertise behind them - orthodontists, not technicians, planning your cases.

Record-low refinement rates, plans back in 48 hours, and lab fees as low as £400 (plus a price-match guarantee) will all benefit dentists who choose the new service. 

Professor Ama Johal, Clinical Lead at 32Co and Professor of Orthodontics at St Bart’s University, said:

“We are proud to launch 32Co’s SOLO service after years of research from my team of in-house orthodontists. We set out to develop a way of submitting clear aligner cases that improved clinical outcomes while still allowing dentists the flexibility and affordability that is essential for today’s modern dentist. I’m happy to say we’ve achieved that goal”

SOLO comes after years of research from 32Co’s expert team: 

1. Orthodontists: 32Co has replaced all technicians with orthodontists for SOLO cases. That means plans which are predictable, safe and effective without hours of tweaking. 
   ‍
2. Price: Cheaper lab fees than the vast majority of other providers. Lab fees are £600 for an average case, with prices dipping as low as £400, refinements included. 
   ‍
3. Price-match guarantee: got cheaper prices elsewhere? We’ll match them.
   ‍
4. Speed: All cases designed and returned to the dentist in less than 48 hours with unbeatable treatment plan quality. 
   ‍
5. Supercharged submissions: Dentists can build on an expert-led framework of 32Co Design Principles to issue clear, high-quality instructions to their orthodontist that work every time. 

The result is ultra-low refinement rates and case predictability that’s the best in the industry. Over 95% of cases finish with 1 refinement or fewer; 50% of cases finish with no refinements.

An orthodontist, always

Creating an aligner plan isn’t just technical—it’s an art and a science. An average case involves over 800 tooth movements, requiring years of experience to master. 

The person planning your case will factor in the patient’s goals, dentist’s requirements, what’s physically possible within the mouth and how to get there in the safest and most reliable way possible. 

Traditional manufacturers often delegate this critical work to non-dental technicians, leading to inconsistent, unpredictable results that rarely succeed first time. 

With SOLO and 32Co, every plan is implemented by an experienced orthodontist. The result? Plans with an average of just one refinement—or none at all. 

Cartoonodontics is costing you money

But without the right instructions, even the best technician will struggle.

In other parts of the industry, dentists are submitting inaccurate instructions to technicians without even knowing it.

First, dentists are left to “tweak” plans on a simulation. Though it might look pretty, it often doesn’t translate to biologically feasible movements. In fact, what they’re doing is baking in future refinements.

On top of this dentists are asked to set extensive clinical preferences—many of which are contradictory or clinically impossible, and therefore rarely followed by the technician.

Cue SOLO’s Design Principles

So we’ve reinvented how our dentists provide aligner instructions.

Gone are endless plan adjustments and impractical global clinical preferences.

In are SOLO’s Design Principles. These are a set of gold standard treatment planning algorithms created by our team of orthodontists that you can use when planning your case.

Based on thousands of cases over the past three years, the Design Principles are built by our expert orthos using their own research and the latest AI.

The result? Principles you can use that determine the single most predictable way to achieve specific biological tooth movement outcomes.
