Motto
Clear aligners are a modern orthodontic solution exclusively available through
Aspen Dental clinics. This brand is designed to offer a doctor-guided and technology-driven approach to
teeth straightening, aiming to make clear aligner treatment accessible, affordable, and convenient for a wide range of patients.
The aligners themselves are crafted from a transparent, medical-grade thermoplastic material that is BPA and latex-free, making them virtually invisible and resistant to staining and odors. They feature a unique three-layer design with dual-shell materials, engineered to deliver gentle yet consistent force for predictable tooth movement. This advanced design reportedly results in 40% less force at insertion compared to earlier materials, minimizing initial discomfort, and 150% better teeth movement over a 10-day wear period. The laser-trimmed, scalloped edges are designed to conform seamlessly to the gumline, reducing irritation and ensuring a snug, comfortable fit.
The treatment process with Motto Clear Aligners typically begins with a comprehensive consultation at an Aspen Dental office. This involves a digital scan of the patient's teeth, which is used to create a personalized treatment plan and a preview of their new smile. One of the key differentiators of Motto is the possibility of a "same-day start," where patients can sometimes receive their first set of aligners on the day of their initial visit, eliminating the waiting period often associated with other aligner systems.
Patients wear a series of custom-made aligner trays, typically switching to a new set every one to two weeks, as directed by their dentist. For optimal results, aligners should be worn for approximately 22 hours per day. Motto also incorporates technology like MottoMonitoring™, an app that allows patients to send photos of their progress from home, reducing the need for frequent in-office visits.
Motto Clear Aligners are indicated for a range of mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including gaps, crowding, overbites, underbites, crossbites, and crooked teeth. The average treatment time is often as short as six months, though individual results may vary based on the complexity of the case and patient adherence to the treatment plan. The cost of Motto Clear Aligners is generally positioned as a more affordable alternative to some other leading clear aligner brands, with prices starting around $2,999, which often includes the aligners, office visits, and a post-treatment retainer. They also offer financing options and may be covered by some insurance plans.
The brand emphasizes doctor-led care throughout the entire journey, ensuring professional guidance and support from initial assessment to the completion of treatment. They also offer the "MottoAssured™" promise, which provides up to two bonus sets of aligners if a patient is not completely satisfied with their results, provided they have been compliant with their treatment plan.
