Detailed Introduction
Motto Clear Aligners represent a modern and accessible orthodontic solution designed to straighten teeth using transparent, custom-made aligner trays. This brand is exclusively offered through Aspen Dental, emphasizing a doctor-guided approach to treatment. Unlike some direct-to-consumer aligner options, Motto ensures in-person consultations and ongoing professional oversight from Aspen Dental's network of dentists and orthodontists, combined with the convenience of virtual monitoring through their MottoMonitoring™ app.
The treatment process with Motto Clear Aligners typically involves an initial consultation at an Aspen Dental office, where a 3D scan of the patient's teeth is taken. A personalized treatment plan is then developed, showing the projected movement of the teeth. Patients receive a series of aligner trays, which are worn for approximately 22 hours per day, with each set gradually shifting the teeth into the desired position. Many patients can complete their treatment in as little as six months, though the exact duration depends on the complexity of the individual case.
Motto Clear Aligners aim to be a more affordable alternative to traditional braces and other clear aligner brands like Invisalign, often costing around $2,999 for mild to moderate cases. This flat fee typically includes all necessary aligners, doctor-directed care, virtual monitoring, a professional-grade whitening kit, and retainers. They also offer flexible payment options, including dental financing, insurance, and acceptance of FSA/HSA dollars.
The technology behind Motto Clear Aligners focuses on precision and comfort. The aligners are crafted from a durable yet flexible thermoplastic material that is virtually invisible and designed for a snug, comfortable fit. They are engineered to deliver consistent, gentle force for predictable tooth movement. Motto can address various orthodontic issues, including mild to moderate cases of crowding, spacing, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. They also offer "MottoAssured™," a guarantee that Aspen Dental will work with the patient until they are satisfied with their new smile, provided they comply with the treatment plan. Additionally, MottoRetain™ provides for replacement retainers if needed within the first two years.
