Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear Aligners is a proprietary clear aligner system developed and offered exclusively through the vast network of Aspen Dental clinics across the United States. Launched in 2021, Motto aims to bridge the gap between expensive traditional orthodontics and less supervised direct-to-consumer aligner options, providing a hybrid model that combines professional in-office dental supervision with the convenience of clear aligner technology. The Motto system distinguishes itself by offering custom-crafted treatment plans designed to gradually shift teeth into desired positions using transparent, durable, yet flexible thermoplastic material. These aligners are engineered with a three-layer material for efficient and comfortable tooth movement, and they are laser-cut to seamlessly conform to the teeth and gum line. They also boast antibacterial properties to resist odors and stains, maintaining their near-invisibility throughout the treatment. A key aspect of Motto Clear Aligners is the doctor-led care model. Unlike some at-home aligner companies, Motto requires in-person consultations, digital scans, and regular check-ups (typically every 6-10 weeks) at an Aspen Dental office. This ensures that a qualified dental professional, often an Aspen Dental dentist or orthodontist, oversees the entire treatment process, from initial assessment to final results and retainer provision. This in-person oversight is crucial for addressing complex cases, making real-time adjustments, and ensuring patient safety and optimal outcomes. Motto targets individuals with mild to moderate teeth misalignments, including issues like crowded teeth, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crooked teeth. Patients can often see noticeable improvements in as little as a few weeks, with average treatment times being as short as six months. The total cost for Motto Clear Aligners is typically around $2,999, which generally includes customized aligners, office visits, and a post-treatment retainer, positioning it as a more affordable alternative to brands like Invisalign. Flexible payment options, including acceptance of most insurance, HSA, and FSA plans, are also available to enhance accessibility. In addition to the aligners, Motto often includes a professional-grade teeth whitening kit and utilizes the MottoMonitoring™ app for convenient virtual check-ins, complementing the essential in-office visits. The brand emphasizes patient satisfaction, aiming to deliver predictable results and a confident, straighter smile.
