Detailed Introduction
Motto Clear Aligners are an orthodontic treatment option specifically designed for straightening teeth using transparent, custom-made trays. This brand is exclusively offered through Aspen Dental clinics, emphasizing a doctor-led, in-person care model. Unlike some at-home aligner solutions, Motto prioritizes professional oversight from beginning to end, ensuring a personalized treatment plan and real-time adjustments as needed.
Motto Clear Aligners utilize advanced, dual-activated technology featuring a flexible inner shell and two durable outer shells. This design allows for consistent pressure and effective tooth movement, reportedly delivering 150% better teeth movement force over a 10-day wear period compared to some other aligners. The aligners are also designed for comfort, generating 40% less force at insertion than earlier-generation materials and other brands, and featuring smooth, scalloped edges to minimize irritation. They are made from medical-grade, 100% BPA and latex-free plastic with antibacterial properties, making them stain-resistant and easy to clean.
Motto Clear Aligners are typically suitable for mild to moderate cases of crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, and minor bite issues such as overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The average treatment time can be as short as six months. The treatment process generally involves a consultation and 3D scan at an Aspen Dental office, followed by the receipt of custom-made aligners. Patients are advised to wear their aligners for at least 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking (anything other than cold water), brushing, and flossing.
The cost for Motto Clear Aligners is often marketed as a flat rate, typically around $2,999 for mild to moderate cases, which includes doctor-directed care, virtual monitoring via the MottoMonitoring™ app, a professional-grade teeth whitening kit, and a custom retainer. Flexible payment options, including dental financing, insurance plans, and FSA/HSA dollars, are available to make treatment more accessible. Motto also offers a "MottoAssured" guarantee, working with patients until they are satisfied with their smile, provided they comply with their treatment plan. The brand has also launched initiatives like the "Motto Smile Complete Club" to assist patients affected by the closure of other aligner companies, demonstrating a commitment to continued care.
