Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear Aligners is a proprietary clear aligner system developed and exclusively offered by Aspen Dental, a large dental service organization with numerous clinic locations across the United States. Unlike some direct-to-consumer aligner brands, Motto emphasizes a "doctor-led" experience, meaning that patients receive in-person consultations, scans, and ongoing monitoring from dental professionals at Aspen Dental clinics. This approach aims to combine the convenience of clear aligner treatment with professional oversight for improved safety and effectiveness. Motto Clear Aligners are marketed as a next-generation solution for teeth straightening, employing a unique 3-layer material designed for flexibility, durability, and consistent force application. This dual-shell technology, with a flexible inner layer and two durable outer shells, aims to move teeth more efficiently and naturally. The company claims that Motto aligners generate 150% better teeth movement force over a 10-day wear period compared to some competitors and reduce initial discomfort by generating 40% less force at insertion. They are made from medical-grade plastic that is 100% BPA and latex-free, and are designed to be stain-resistant and hygienic. The treatment process typically involves an initial consultation and digital scan at an Aspen Dental office, followed by the creation of custom-made aligners. Patients are generally advised to wear their aligners for at least 22 hours a day, changing to a new set every few weeks. Motto also incorporates a MottoMonitoring app for virtual check-ins with the care team, enhancing convenience for patients. The cost of Motto Clear Aligners is often positioned as a more affordable alternative to brands like Invisalign, with typical prices for mild to moderate cases starting around $2,999, which usually includes the aligners, office visits, and a post-treatment retainer. Aspen Dental also offers various financing solutions and accepts dental insurance. Motto can address a range of orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
