Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear Aligners represent a modern approach to orthodontic treatment, exclusively offered through the extensive network of Aspen Dental offices across the United States. This brand focuses on providing transparent, high-quality plastic orthodontic devices that gradually straighten teeth by applying gentle, consistent pressure. Unlike many direct-to-consumer aligner brands, Motto emphasizes a "hybrid approach" that integrates the convenience of clear aligners with essential in-person dental supervision. Patients begin their journey with a comprehensive in-office examination at an Aspen Dental clinic, where digital scans are used to custom-craft each aligner. This doctor-led care continues throughout the treatment process, with regular in-person check-ups (typically every 6-10 weeks) to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. While a virtual monitoring app (MottoMonitoring™) is available for added convenience, it complements rather than replaces the crucial in-office visits, ensuring professional guidance and a safety net for patients. Motto Clear Aligners are engineered with advanced three-layer technology, featuring dual-shell materials that aim for efficient and comfortable tooth movement. The aligners are designed to be virtually invisible, stain-resistant, and feature smooth, scalloped edges for a comfortable fit that conforms seamlessly to the teeth and gum line. Motto is positioned as an affordable alternative to other clear aligner systems like Invisalign and traditional braces. The cost for most mild to moderate cases is a flat rate of $2,999, which typically includes the customized aligners, office visits, a professional-grade whitening kit, and a custom retainer for post-treatment. Flexible payment options, dental financing, and acceptance of FSA/HSA dollars are also available to make treatment more accessible. Motto Clear Aligners are primarily suitable for individuals with mild to moderate orthodontic issues such as gaps, crowding, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and crooked teeth. The average treatment time can be as short as six months, though this varies depending on the complexity of the case. Patients are advised to wear their aligners for at least 22 hours per day for optimal results, removing them only for eating, drinking (anything other than water), and oral hygiene. In essence, Motto Clear Aligners aims to bridge the gap between expensive, full-service orthodontic treatments and less supervised, at-home aligner options, providing a doctor-prescribed, in-person supervised, and cost-effective solution for achieving a straighter, more confident smile.
