Motto
Clear aligners are a brand of
orthodontic treatment that utilizes transparent, custom-made trays to gradually straighten teeth. This treatment is exclusively offered through
Aspen Dental, leveraging their extensive national network of dental professionals. The core philosophy of Motto is to provide a doctor-guided and tech-driven clear aligner experience that prioritizes quality, affordability, convenience, and expert care.
Motto aligners are designed with advanced technology, featuring a unique three-layer design with dual-shell materials. This innovative construction aims to deliver less initial force at insertion, enhancing comfort, and promoting more predictable tooth movement. The aligners are laser-cut to seamlessly conform to each patient's teeth and gumline, with smooth, scalloped edges to reduce irritation. They are made from medical-grade plastic that is 100% BPA and latex-free, and designed to resist staining and odors more effectively than some other aligners.
The treatment process with Motto Clear Aligners typically involves a series of aligner trays that are changed every few weeks (often weekly or bi-weekly). Patients wear the aligners for approximately 22 hours per day for optimal results. A significant advantage of Motto is the speed of treatment, with many patients achieving their desired results in as few as six months for mild to moderate cases.
Aspen Dental's approach to Motto treatment emphasizes patient convenience. They offer same-day appointments where patients can undergo a precision digital scan, review a personalized treatment plan with a doctor, and even get a preview of their new smile. In some instances, thanks to onsite labs and advanced in-office technology, patients can receive their "tray one on day one" without waiting weeks for their aligners. Motto also incorporates technology like MottoMonitoring, allowing patients to send photos of their progress via a smartphone app, potentially minimizing in-office visits.
Financially, Motto Clear Aligners are positioned as an affordable option, with plans starting at $2,999, which typically includes customized aligners, office visits, and a retainer after treatment. They also offer financing and insurance options. The brand has actively supported patients affected by the closure of other clear aligner companies, demonstrating a commitment to patient care.
Motto Clear Aligners are indicated for a range of mild to moderate malocclusions, including overbites, underbites, spacing issues, crossbites, crowded teeth, and crooked teeth. The doctor-led care ensures that patients receive professional guidance throughout their smile journey, from initial assessment to the completion of treatment and retention.
