Motto
Clear Aligners is a proprietary clear aligner system exclusively offered by
Aspen Dental, a large network of independently owned dental practices across the United States. Designed to provide an accessible and efficient orthodontic solution, Motto Clear Aligners aim to address mild to moderate teeth misalignment issues such as
Crooked Teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
The treatment process with Motto Clear Aligners is doctor-directed, ensuring professional oversight throughout the patient's journey. It typically begins with an initial consultation at an Aspen Dental office, where a digital scan of the patient's teeth is taken to create a personalized treatment plan. Patients then receive a series of custom-made, transparent aligner trays crafted from a durable yet flexible medical-grade plastic that is 100% BPA and latex-free. These aligners are designed with a three-layer material and dual-shell technology, offering enhanced comfort with less initial force and more efficient tooth movement compared to some other options.
Patients are instructed to wear their aligners for at least 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene. Each set of aligners is worn for a specified period (often 1-2 weeks) before progressing to the next set in the series, gradually shifting teeth into the desired position. Motto Clear Aligners boast a relatively quick treatment timeline, with many cases completed in as little as 6 months, though the exact duration varies based on individual needs and case complexity.
Motto Clear Aligners are positioned as an affordable alternative to other clear aligner brands like Invisalign, with an all-inclusive price often around $2,999 for mild to moderate cases, which typically includes the aligners, office visits, and a post-treatment retainer. They also offer financing solutions and accept various dental insurance plans. Additionally, some treatment plans include professional-grade whitening gel. For patient convenience, Motto offers virtual monitoring options through a smartphone app, allowing for remote check-ins with the care team.
While highly effective for a range of common orthodontic concerns, Motto Clear Aligners may be less suitable for severe rotations, complex malocclusion, or significant skeletal discrepancies. The success of the treatment heavily relies on consistent wear of the aligners and adherence to the dentist's recommendations.
