Motto
Clear aligners are a brand of transparent, custom-made orthodontic devices designed to gradually straighten teeth. They are exclusively offered and supervised by
Aspen Dental, one of the largest networks of dental offices in the United States, with over 900 locations across 43 states. This means that while "Motto Clear Aligners" is the product brand, the service delivery and patient care occur within the clinic setting of Aspen Dental.
Motto Clear Aligners utilize advanced clear aligner technology, featuring a three-layer design with durable yet flexible materials. This design aims to deliver gentle, consistent pressure for efficient and comfortable tooth movement, with studies suggesting 40% less force at insertion and 150% better teeth movement over a 10-day wear period compared to earlier-generation materials. The aligners are also laser-cut to conform seamlessly to the gumline, reducing irritation, and possess antibacterial properties to resist odors and stains, keeping them nearly invisible.
The treatment process for Motto Clear Aligners emphasizes doctor-led care from start to finish. Patients begin with an in-office consultation at an Aspen Dental location, where a comprehensive examination is performed, scans are taken, and a personalized treatment plan is developed. Unlike some direct-to-consumer aligner options that rely on at-home impression kits, Motto ensures professional dental supervision throughout the entire process, including regular in-person check-ups (typically every 6-10 weeks). This allows for real-time adjustments and ensures the treatment progresses correctly. They also offer a MottoMonitoring™ app for virtual check-ins, complementing the in-office visits.
Motto Clear Aligners are suitable for individuals with mild to moderate orthodontic issues such as gaps, crowding, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and slight misalignments. The average treatment time can be as short as 6 months. The cost for Motto Clear Aligners is typically around $2,999, which is often more affordable than traditional
braces or other premium clear aligner brands like Invisalign. This price usually includes the customized aligners, office visits, a professional-grade whitening kit, and a custom-crafted retainer to maintain results. Flexible payment options, dental financing, and insurance plans are often available to make the treatment more accessible.
Patients using Motto Clear Aligners are advised to wear them for at least 22 hours a day, including while sleeping, and to remove them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene. Motto also offers a "MottoAssured" guarantee, promising satisfaction with the new smile, provided patients are compliant with their doctor-directed treatment plan.
