Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear Aligners is a distinct brand of clear aligners exclusively offered by Aspen Dental, a large network of dental offices across the United States. Launched in 2020, Motto aims to bridge the gap between expensive traditional orthodontic treatments and less supervised direct-to-consumer aligner options. It stands out by providing a "hybrid approach" that blends the convenience and aesthetic appeal of transparent, removable aligners with essential in-person dental supervision from Aspen Dental professionals. The treatment process with Motto Clear Aligners begins with an in-office consultation at an Aspen Dental location, which includes a comprehensive examination and a 3D digital scan of the patient's teeth. This scan is used to create a customized treatment plan, predicting the desired outcome. Unlike some at-home aligner kits, Motto emphasizes doctor-led care throughout the entire journey, with regular in-person check-ups (typically every 6-10 weeks) to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments. This oversight helps ensure optimal results and addresses potential issues promptly. Motto Clear Aligners are designed with a three-layer, durable yet flexible material that applies gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move teeth into their desired positions. The aligners are virtually invisible, stain-resistant, and feature smooth, laser-cut edges for comfort. Patients typically wear each set of aligners for 1-2 weeks, for at least 22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene. Motto Clear Aligners are often presented as a more affordable alternative to premium brands like Invisalign, with a flat rate that usually includes customized aligners, office visits, and a retainer for post-treatment maintenance. The average treatment time is often less than six months for mild to moderate cases. They are effective for various orthodontic issues, including mild to moderate crowding, spacing issues, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. Beyond the aligners themselves, Motto also offers supplementary services and features. These can include the MottoMonitoring™ app for virtual check-ins (which complements in-person visits), a complimentary teeth whitening kit, and the optional MottoRetain™ program, which acts as a safeguard for retainers, allowing for replacements within a two-year period. The brand's focus on doctor-directed care, affordability, and convenience makes it an attractive option for individuals seeking a discreet and effective solution for teeth straightening.
