Detailed Introduction
Motto Clear Aligners are a proprietary clear aligner system developed and exclusively offered by Aspen Dental, a large network of dental clinics across the United States. This product provides a modern and discreet alternative to traditional metal braces for individuals seeking to correct mild to moderate dental misalignments, such as crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites.
The Motto system leverages advanced technology in its aligner design. Each aligner is crafted from a revolutionary three-layer material: a flexible inner shell and two durable outer shells. This unique construction is engineered to deliver consistent yet gentle pressure, promoting efficient and natural tooth movement. The aligners are also laser-cut to ensure a seamless fit along the gumline, minimizing irritation. Furthermore, they boast antibacterial properties, resisting odors and stains, which helps maintain their virtually invisible appearance throughout the treatment.
The treatment process with Motto Clear Aligners typically begins with a complimentary consultation at an Aspen Dental location. During this visit, a 3D scan of the patient's teeth is taken, and a personalized treatment plan is developed by a dental professional. Patients can often receive their first set of aligners on the same day due to onsite labs and in-office technology. The aligners are worn for approximately 22 hours per day, with each set typically being swapped out every week or two, depending on the doctor's instructions. Many patients report seeing results in as little as six months, though individual treatment times can vary based on the complexity of the case.
Motto Clear Aligners emphasize convenience and comprehensive care. The program includes doctor-directed oversight, virtual monitoring through an app (MottoMonitoring™) to minimize in-office visits, and a professional-grade teeth whitening kit. They also offer "MottoAssured," a smile satisfaction guarantee. In terms of cost, Motto Clear Aligners are often positioned as a more affordable option compared to other premium clear aligner brands like Invisalign, with prices typically around $2,999, which usually includes the aligners, office visits, and a custom retainer for post-treatment maintenance. Financing options and acceptance of most insurance, HSA, and FSA plans are also available.
