Motto
Clear Aligners represent a modern and accessible orthodontic solution, exclusively available through
Aspen Dental's extensive network of independently owned dental clinics. This brand is positioned as a doctor-guided and tech-driven clear aligner experience that aims to make
Teeth Straightening both effective and affordable, bridging the gap between expensive traditional orthodontics and less supervised direct-to-consumer options.
Motto aligners utilize advanced clear aligner technology, crafted from a unique three-layer thermoplastic material. This design provides a balance of durability and flexibility, delivering gentle yet consistent pressure to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions. Key features of Motto aligners include their virtually invisible appearance, laser-cut scalloped edges for a comfortable fit that reduces gum irritation, and antibacterial properties to resist staining and odors.
The treatment process with Motto Clear Aligners is designed for convenience and efficiency. Patients typically begin with a comprehensive 3D digital scan at an Aspen Dental office, followed by a personalized treatment plan developed in consultation with a dentist. A significant advantage highlighted by Motto is the possibility of receiving the first set of aligners ("tray one on day one") in some cases, thanks to onsite labs and advanced in-office technology, minimizing waiting times.
Motto aligners are prescribed for a range of mild to moderate orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The treatment duration can be as short as six months, varying based on individual case complexity. Patients wear a series of custom-made aligner trays, typically changing to a new set every one to two weeks, and are advised to wear them for at least 22 hours per day.
To further enhance convenience, Motto offers "MottoMonitoring," an app that allows patients to send photos of their progress to their care team, potentially reducing the need for frequent in-office visits. The brand also includes a "MottoAssured" promise, offering up to two bonus sets of aligners if the patient is not satisfied with the results after completing their treatment, provided they have complied with the doctor-directed plan. Additionally, professional
teeth whitening gel is included with the treatment.
In terms of cost, Motto Clear Aligners are positioned as a more affordable alternative to brands like Invisalign, with a quoted price of around $2,999, which typically includes the aligners, office visits, and a retainer. This emphasis on affordability, combined with professional doctor-led care, aims to make clear aligner treatment accessible to a broader patient base.
