Motto
Clear aligners is a proprietary
orthodontic treatment system exclusively available through
Aspen Dental offices. It utilizes transparent, custom-made aligner trays crafted from a high-quality, three-layer thermoplastic material designed for both durability and flexibility. These aligners work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move teeth into their desired positions over time.
Motto Clear Aligners aim to be a discreet and convenient alternative to traditional
braces. The clear aligners are nearly invisible when worn, offering an aesthetic advantage for adults and teens seeking to straighten their smiles without the noticeable appearance of metal brackets and wires. The treatment plans are customized to individual needs, with a series of aligners designed to address various orthodontic issues such as mild to moderate crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
A significant benefit highlighted by Motto Clear Aligners is the doctor-led care provided throughout the treatment journey. Patients receive ongoing support and monitoring from dental professionals at Aspen Dental locations, which differentiates it from some direct-to-consumer aligner models. The process typically begins with a consultation, digital scans, and a personalized treatment plan. Patients receive a series of aligner trays, with each set worn for approximately two weeks before progressing to the next. For optimal results, aligners are recommended to be worn for at least 22 hours per day, only being removed for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene.
Motto Clear Aligners emphasize affordability and convenience, with pricing often presented as a more cost-effective option compared to some other well-known clear aligner brands. Financing options and acceptance of insurance/HSA/FSA are typically available to make treatment accessible. The treatment can be relatively quick, with some patients achieving their desired results in as little as six months, though the exact duration depends on the complexity of the case. Additionally, the treatment often includes benefits like a free whitening kit and a retainer to maintain the results post-treatment.
While highly effective for mild to moderate cases, Motto Clear Aligners may not be suitable for severe orthodontic issues. Patient reviews generally highlight the convenience, ease of use, and affordability, though some users have reported occasional issues with app-based monitoring or communication, emphasizing the importance of direct interaction with their dental provider.
