Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear Aligners are a proprietary clear aligner solution developed by and exclusively available through Aspen Dental, a large network of dental clinics across the United States. Launched to provide an affordable and convenient alternative to traditional braces and other clear aligner brands, Motto focuses on a hybrid care model that combines in-person, doctor-supervised treatment with the convenience of virtual monitoring through the MottoMonitoring™ app. The treatment process with Motto Clear Aligners typically begins with an in-person consultation at an Aspen Dental office. During this visit, a dentist conducts a thorough examination, including digital scans and X-rays of the teeth, to create a precise 3D model. Based on this, a customized treatment plan is developed, outlining the specific tooth movements and estimated treatment time. Once the plan is approved, custom-made aligners are manufactured using advanced CAD/CAM technology, usually within two weeks. Patients receive a series of transparent, custom-fit aligners, each designed to apply gentle, consistent pressure to gradually shift teeth into the desired position. These aligners are generally worn for 22 hours per day, with each set typically changed every one to two weeks, as prescribed by the dentist. Regular in-person check-ups, often every 6-8 weeks, are a cornerstone of Motto's approach, allowing dentists to monitor progress, make adjustments if needed, and ensure the treatment stays on track. The MottoMonitoring™ app provides an additional layer of convenience for virtual check-ins between office visits. Motto Clear Aligners are marketed as a more affordable option compared to brands like Invisalign, with a flat rate that often includes retainers and a teeth-whitening kit. They are designed to treat a range of mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including crooked teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crowded teeth. The average treatment duration is often less than six months for many patients. Aspen Dental also offers flexible payment options, including financing and insurance acceptance, and has made efforts to assist patients affected by the closure of other aligner companies, such as SmileDirectClub.
