Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear Aligners is a proprietary clear aligner treatment solution launched by Aspen Dental Management Inc. (ADMI) in 2021. It is exclusively available at over 1100 independently owned Aspen Dental locations nationwide. Motto aims to make clear aligner treatment accessible and affordable for a broad range of patients seeking to straighten their teeth. Motto Clear Aligners are designed using advanced technology, featuring a three-layer design with dual-shell materials. This construction reportedly delivers less initial force upon insertion and more efficient tooth movement, contributing to a more comfortable experience. The aligners are also noted for being stain-resistant and antibacterial. A key differentiator for Motto is its "hybrid approach," combining the convenience of clear aligners with professional, in-person dental supervision. Unlike many direct-to-consumer aligner brands, Motto emphasizes doctor-led treatment from consultation to completion. Patients receive initial precision digital scans at an Aspen Dental office, and in-office technology allows for same-day start capabilities, reducing waiting times for the first set of aligners. Throughout the treatment, patients have periodic in-person check-ups, allowing dentists to monitor progress, make necessary adjustments, and address any complications promptly. Additionally, Motto offers the MottoMonitoring™ app for virtual check-ins, complementing the in-office visits. Motto Clear Aligners are typically recommended for mild to moderate cases of teeth misalignment, including crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The average treatment time is often less than six months. The cost for Motto aligners is positioned as more affordable than some premium alternatives like Invisalign, with a flat rate that often includes retainers and a teeth-whitening kit. Various payment options, including dental financing, insurance, FSA/HSA, are available to make the treatment more accessible. Patient testimonials often highlight the convenience of the Aspen Dental network for appointments, the ease of switching aligners, the relatively quick transformation, and the affordability compared to other options.
