Detailed Introduction
Motto Clear Aligners are a proprietary clear aligner system exclusively available through Aspen Dental clinics. This orthodontic treatment utilizes a series of transparent, custom-made trays designed to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. Motto aligners are marketed as a comfortable, discreet, and convenient alternative to traditional metal braces.
The treatment process typically begins with a 3D scan of the patient's teeth at an Aspen Dental office, followed by a personalized treatment plan developed by a dentist. Patients then receive a series of aligner trays, usually changing them every one to two weeks, and are advised to wear them for at least 22 hours per day for optimal results. The average treatment duration for Motto Clear Aligners can be as short as 5.4 to 6 months for mild to moderate cases, which is often quicker than traditional braces.
Motto Clear Aligners are engineered with a multi-layered, durable, yet flexible material that is designed for efficient and comfortable tooth movement. They are laser-cut to conform seamlessly to the teeth and gum line, and possess antibacterial properties to resist odors and stains, ensuring they remain virtually invisible. A key benefit highlighted is their removability, allowing patients to easily take them out for eating, drinking (anything other than water), brushing, and flossing, which simplifies oral hygiene compared to fixed braces.
Aspen Dental emphasizes the affordability of Motto Clear Aligners, often positioning them as a cost-effective alternative to brands like Invisalign. The price for mild to moderate cases is typically around $2,999, and various financing solutions are available, including acceptance of dental insurance, FSA/HSA, and CareCredit. The treatment package often includes a free whitening kit, doctor-directed care, a free retainer, and virtual check-ins through the MottoMonitoring™ app. Motto also offers a "Motto Assured™" promise, a satisfaction guarantee for patients who comply with their doctor-directed treatment plan.
Motto Clear Aligners are suitable for correcting a range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. While generally effective for mild to moderate cases, a dental professional at Aspen Dental determines if Motto is the right solution for an individual's specific needs. Patient testimonials often highlight the convenience, speed, and confidence-boosting results achieved with Motto Clear Aligners.
