Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear Aligners represent a modern and accessible orthodontic solution, exclusively available through the extensive network of independently owned Aspen Dental locations across the United States. Unlike many direct-to-consumer aligner brands, Motto emphasizes doctor-driven care, ensuring that each patient's treatment plan is custom-crafted and continuously monitored by a qualified dental professional through in-person consultations. This hybrid model aims to provide the convenience and aesthetic benefits of clear aligners with the critical oversight necessary for safe and effective tooth movement. The aligners themselves are made from a transparent thermoplastic material, making them virtually invisible when worn, a key appeal for individuals seeking a discreet alternative to traditional metal braces. Motto aligners work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions over time. Patients receive a series of aligner trays, typically changing them every one to two weeks, and are advised to wear them for at least 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than tap water, and oral hygiene. Motto Clear Aligners are designed to address a range of orthodontic issues, including mild to moderate cases of crowded teeth, gaps between teeth, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The average treatment time for Motto aligners is often less than six months for mild to moderate cases, a quicker timeline compared to traditional braces which can take 18 months to two years or more. A significant advantage of Motto Clear Aligners is their affordability. While the cost of traditional braces can range from $3,000 to $7,000, Motto offers a flat rate, often starting around $2,999 for mild to moderate cases. This price typically includes the entire treatment plan, doctor-directed care, virtual monitoring via the MottoMonitoring™ app, a professional-grade teeth whitening kit, and a custom-crafted retainer to maintain results after treatment. Flexible payment options, dental financing, and acceptance of HSA/FSA funds further enhance accessibility. The in-person care model provided by Aspen Dental clinics ensures that patients receive personalized care, with dentists evaluating compatibility, making necessary adjustments, and addressing any concerns in real-time. This oversight is particularly beneficial for preventing issues that might arise with purely at-home aligner treatments. Additionally, the ability to remove the aligners for meals and oral hygiene contributes to better dental health and a more comfortable experience compared to fixed braces.
