Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear aligners is a brand of clear orthodontic aligners offered exclusively through Aspen Dental, a large network of dental practices across the United States. Unlike some direct-to-consumer aligner brands, Motto emphasizes a "doctor-led, in-person" approach. This means that patients receive comprehensive dental exams, digital scans, customized treatment plans, and ongoing monitoring by a licensed dentist at an Aspen Dental office from start to finish. This in-person oversight allows for personalized adjustments and addresses potential issues that might arise during treatment, aiming for optimal and predictable results. Motto Clear Aligners are designed with a three-layer material technology, featuring a flexible inner layer and two strong outer layers. This construction is engineered for efficient and comfortable tooth movement, with antibacterial properties to resist odors and stains. The aligners are laser-cut to conform seamlessly to teeth and gumlines, offering a snug and natural fit. The treatment process typically involves an initial consultation, digital scans to create a 3D model of the patient's teeth, and the development of a custom treatment plan. Patients then receive a series of custom-made aligners, which are typically changed every one to two weeks. The aligners are designed to be worn for approximately 22 hours per day, removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene. Regular check-up appointments at an Aspen Dental office are crucial for monitoring progress and receiving new aligner sets. Motto aims to provide an affordable alternative to traditional braces and other clear aligner brands like Invisalign. Their pricing structure is often presented as a flat rate, which can include retainers, a teeth-whitening kit, and access to their MottoMonitoring™ app for virtual check-ins. They also offer flexible payment options, including dental financing, insurance plans, and FSA/HSA utilization. Patients can expect to see results in as little as 6 months, though the exact duration depends on the complexity of the individual case and adherence to the treatment plan. Motto claims to treat a range of mild to moderate malocclusions, including crowding, spacing issues, overbites, underbites, and crooked teeth. The brand highlights its "MottoAssured" promise, guaranteeing patient satisfaction with their new smile, provided they comply with the doctor-directed treatment plan.
