Motto
Clear Aligners represent a modern and accessible solution for
Teeth Straightening, exclusively available through the extensive network of
Aspen Dental practices across the United States. Launched by Aspen Dental Management Inc. (ADMI), Motto aims to bridge the gap between expensive orthodontic treatments like Invisalign and less supervised, direct-to-consumer aligner options.
What sets Motto apart is its "hybrid approach," combining the convenience and discreetness of clear aligners with professional, in-person dental supervision. Patients benefit from doctor-led care throughout their entire treatment journey, including initial 3D digital scans, personalized treatment plans, and regular in-office check-ups (typically every 10 weeks) to monitor progress and make necessary adjustments. This ensures that treatment progresses as expected and addresses any issues promptly.
Motto Clear Aligners utilize advanced, dual-activated material technology, designed to move teeth more consistently, predictably, and naturally than some other brands. They are crafted for comfort, being barely-there, antibacterial, odor- and stain-resistant, and apply less force at insertion, leading to a gentler experience. Treatment can be completed in as little as six months for mild to moderate cases, offering a quicker path to a straighter smile compared to traditional
braces.
Beyond the technology, Motto focuses on affordability and accessibility. They offer flexible financing options, accept most insurance, HSA, and FSA plans (though not Medicaid), and are often priced significantly lower than Invisalign. The cost typically includes custom aligners, office visits, a free whitening kit, and a retainer for post-treatment maintenance. Patients also have access to "MottoMonitoring" for virtual check-ins via a smartphone app, reducing the need for frequent office visits, and a "MottoAssured" program which provides additional aligner sets if patients aren't satisfied with their results.
Motto Clear Aligners are designed to treat a wide range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The process typically involves an initial consultation with a dentist at an Aspen Dental office, digital scans, a preview of the projected new smile, and then receiving the aligners. The doctor-guided nature of the treatment, coupled with Aspen Dental's extensive network and over 25 years of dental expertise, aims to provide patients with confidence and high-quality results.
