Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear Aligners is a brand of clear aligners exclusively offered by Aspen Dental, a large network of dental clinics across the United States. It distinguishes itself by providing in-person, doctor-led care from start to finish, addressing a common concern with some direct-to-consumer aligner brands that lack professional oversight. Patients begin their journey with an in-office consultation, which includes a 3D scan to create custom-crafted aligners and a personalized treatment plan. A key feature is the ability for some patients to receive their first aligner tray on the same day as their initial visit, eliminating long waiting periods. Motto Clear Aligners are designed with advanced, dual-activated clear aligner technology, featuring a flexible inner shell and two durable outer shells. This unique three-layer material is engineered to provide consistent pressure and efficient tooth movement, with claims of generating 150% better teeth movement force over a 10-day wear period compared to some other aligners. The aligners also boast smooth, scalloped edges for enhanced comfort and reduced gum irritation, and possess antibacterial properties to help prevent odor and stains. The treatment is typically suitable for mild to moderate malocclusions, including issues like overbites, underbites, spacing, crossbites, crowded teeth, and crooked teeth. The average treatment duration can be as short as 6 months, though individual results may vary. Patients are generally advised to wear their aligners for at least 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking (anything other than cold water), and oral hygiene. Motto offers a flat-rate price of $2,999 for most mild to moderate cases, which includes the entire treatment plan: the custom aligners, all necessary office visits, a professional-grade teeth whitening kit, a custom retainer for post-treatment, and access to the MottoMonitoring™ app for virtual check-ins. This pricing is positioned as a more affordable alternative to traditional braces and some other clear aligner brands like Invisalign, which can range from $3,000 to $7,000. Flexible payment options, including dental financing, insurance plans, and FSA/HSA dollars, are available. The brand also offers "MottoAssured," a satisfaction guarantee, and "MottoRetain," which allows for multiple retainer replacements within the first two years if needed.
