Detailed Introduction
Motto Clear Aligners represent a modern approach to orthodontic treatment, emphasizing discretion, comfort, and affordability. They are transparent, high-quality plastic devices designed to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. Unlike many direct-to-consumer aligner brands, Motto is exclusively available through Aspen Dental clinics, ensuring that patients receive professional in-office dental supervision throughout their entire treatment process. This hybrid approach combines the convenience of clear aligners with the critical oversight of dental professionals, including initial comprehensive examinations and regular check-ups (typically every 6-10 weeks).
Motto aligners are engineered with a three-layer design using durable yet flexible materials that apply gentle, consistent pressure to move teeth efficiently and comfortably. They are laser-cut to conform seamlessly to the teeth and gum line, and their antibacterial properties help resist odors and stains. Patients are generally advised to wear their aligners for at least 22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene.
Motto treats a variety of mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including overbites, underbites, spacing issues, crossbites, crowded teeth, and crooked teeth. Treatment plans are custom-crafted for each individual, with results often seen in as little as six months. The cost of Motto Clear Aligners is positioned as a more affordable alternative to options like Invisalign and traditional braces, with a flat rate of $2,999 for mild to moderate cases, which often includes retainers and a professional-grade teeth whitening kit. Aspen Dental also offers flexible payment options and accepts various financing and insurance plans.
The integration with Aspen Dental's extensive network of over 900 locations across 43 states makes Motto Clear Aligners widely accessible. This in-person model differentiates Motto from purely at-home aligner services, providing patients with a safety net of professional care and allowing for immediate adjustments and support. Motto also offers a MottoMonitoring™ app for virtual check-ins, which complements, rather than replaces, the essential in-office visits.
