Motto
Clear Aligners represent a modern orthodontic solution, exclusively available through the extensive network of
Aspen Dental clinics. Launched by Aspen Dental Management Inc. (ADMI), Motto is designed to make clear aligner treatment accessible, affordable, and effective.
The aligners themselves are crafted from a transparent, high-quality plastic with a unique three-layer design featuring dual-shell materials. This advanced technology allows for flexible yet durable aligners that deliver consistent, gentle pressure to gradually move teeth into the desired position. They are laser-cut to seamlessly conform to the teeth and gum line, promoting comfort and reducing irritation. Furthermore, Motto aligners boast antibacterial properties, resisting odors and stains more effectively than many other aligners, and are made from 100% BPA and latex-free medical-grade plastic.
A key differentiator for Motto Clear Aligners is their "doctor-guided" approach. Unlike some direct-to-consumer aligner brands, Motto emphasizes in-person care from consultation to completion. Patients receive personalized treatment plans developed by Aspen Dental dentists after thorough examinations, digital scans, X-rays, and photos. This in-person oversight allows for adjustments and real-time professional help, complementing the convenient MottoMonitoring™ app for virtual check-ins. This hybrid model aims to provide the benefits of convenience with the assurance of professional supervision.
Motto Clear Aligners are designed to treat a range of orthodontic issues, including overbites, underbites, spacing issues, crossbites, crowded teeth, buck teeth, and crooked teeth. The average treatment time 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. The treatment cost is presented as an affordable flat rate, often including retainers and a teeth-whitening kit. Flexible payment options, dental financing, and acceptance of FSA/HSA dollars are also available.
The services provided by Motto Clear Aligners through Aspen Dental include initial consultations, digital scans, customized treatment planning, aligner creation (with some locations offering same-day aligner starts), ongoing in-person check-ups, and post-treatment retainers (MottoRetain program). Patients benefit from the ability to remove aligners for eating and oral hygiene, making daily maintenance easier than with traditional braces.
