Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear Aligners is a proprietary clear aligner system developed and offered exclusively by Aspen Dental. Launched to provide an accessible and affordable orthodontic solution, Motto leverages Aspen Dental's extensive network of independently owned clinics across the United States. The brand focuses on delivering a doctor-guided, tech-driven experience, aiming to bridge the gap between expensive traditional orthodontics and less supervised direct-to-consumer options. Motto Clear Aligners are designed with a three-layer, dual-activated material engineered to provide consistent and predictable tooth movement. This technology is touted to offer 40% less force at insertion and 150% better teeth movement over a 10-day wear period compared to some earlier-generation materials. The aligners are also designed to be anti-bacterial, odor- and stain-resistant, and feature smooth, scalloped edges for enhanced comfort and a natural fit. The treatment process typically begins with a digital scan at an Aspen Dental office, allowing for the custom crafting of each aligner. A unique aspect of Motto is the "tray one on day one" capability, meaning patients can often receive their first set of aligners or impression kit on the same day as their initial consultation, reducing waiting times. Treatment plans are doctor-led, with ongoing support and virtual check-ins available through a dedicated app. Motto aligners are suitable for adults with mild to moderate teeth misalignment issues, including crowded teeth, spacing problems, and certain bite irregularities. While treatment duration varies, many patients achieve their desired results in as little as 6 months. Motto emphasizes affordability, offering flexible financing options, accepting most insurance plans, and allowing the use of HSA/FSA. The cost of Motto aligners often starts around $1,999, making them a competitive alternative to other clear aligner brands like Invisalign. Patients are typically advised to wear their aligners for at least 22 hours per day for optimal effectiveness.
