Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear aligners represent a modern and accessible solution for orthodontic care, exclusively available through the extensive network of Aspen Dental clinics. Launched in 2020, Motto distinguishes itself by offering a "hybrid approach" that blends the convenience of clear aligner therapy with the essential oversight of in-person dental professionals. This ensures patients receive comprehensive care from an initial consultation to the completion of their treatment. The aligners themselves are crafted from transparent, high-quality plastic, utilizing a three-layer design with dual-shell materials. This advanced technology provides consistent, gentle pressure to gradually move teeth into their desired positions. Motto aligners are designed for comfort, featuring laser-cut scalloped edges that conform seamlessly to the gumline, reducing irritation. They are also engineered to be highly resistant to stains and odors, maintaining their nearly invisible appearance throughout treatment. Motto Clear Aligners are designed to treat a variety of orthodontic issues, including mild to moderate cases of crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and spacing issues. The treatment process involves a series of custom-made aligners, with each set worn for a specific duration (typically around two weeks) before progressing to the next. Patients are generally advised to wear their aligners for at least 22 hours per day for optimal results. A significant advantage of Motto is its in-person, doctor-supervised care. Unlike many direct-to-consumer aligner options, Motto requires regular in-office check-ups (typically every 6-10 weeks) at an Aspen Dental location. This allows for real-time monitoring of progress, adjustments, and immediate professional intervention if needed, ensuring a safer and more effective treatment journey. While in-person visits are central, Motto also offers a MottoMonitoring™ app for virtual check-ins, complementing the in-office guidance. Motto aims to provide an affordable alternative to other clear aligner brands and traditional braces. While prices can vary based on case complexity, treatment for mild to moderate cases is often advertised at a flat rate, which typically includes all aligners, doctor-directed care, virtual monitoring, a professional-grade whitening kit, and a custom retainer. This pricing structure and the availability of financing options, insurance acceptance, and FSA/HSA utilization make Motto an attractive option for budget-conscious individuals seeking a straighter smile.
