Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear Aligners is a proprietary clear aligner solution offered exclusively through Aspen Dental, a large network of dental offices in the United States. Launched in 2020, Motto aims to provide an accessible and efficient teeth-straightening option for individuals with mild to moderate orthodontic needs. Unlike some direct-to-consumer aligner brands, Motto emphasizes a hybrid approach that combines the convenience of clear aligners with professional in-office dental supervision. The treatment process with Motto Clear Aligners typically begins with a comprehensive in-office examination 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 a preview of their new smile on the same day. The aligners themselves are made from high-quality, transparent plastic with a three-layer design that is engineered for efficient and comfortable tooth movement. They are designed to be nearly invisible and are laser-cut to seamlessly fit the gumline, reducing irritation. Motto Clear Aligners are designed to be worn for approximately 22 hours per day, with each set typically worn for about one week before progressing to the next. The average treatment duration can be as short as six months, though this varies based on individual case complexity. Patients have the benefit of in-person check-ups with their Aspen Dental doctor every 6-10 weeks, ensuring that treatment is progressing as planned and allowing for immediate adjustments if necessary. Additionally, Motto offers an optional MottoMonitoring™ app for virtual check-ins, providing added convenience for tracking progress remotely between in-office visits. Motto Clear Aligners are often positioned as a more affordable alternative to premium clear aligners like Invisalign, with a flat rate that typically includes customized aligners, office visits, and a post-treatment retainer. They also offer flexible payment options, including dental financing and acceptance of FSA/HSA dollars. The brand highlights its "MottoAssured™" promise, which provides up to two bonus sets of aligners if the patient is not satisfied with their results, provided they have complied with the doctor-directed treatment plan. This commitment to doctor-led care and comprehensive support differentiates Motto from many solely at-home aligner solutions.
