Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear Aligners are a proprietary clear aligner system developed and exclusively offered by Aspen Dental, one of the largest networks of dental offices in the United States. Launched in 2020, Motto aims to provide an accessible, effective, and discreet solution for teeth straightening, primarily for individuals with mild to moderate orthodontic issues such as gaps, crowding, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. What sets Motto apart is its hybrid approach, which combines the convenience of clear aligner treatment with the crucial oversight of in-person, doctor-directed care. Unlike some direct-to-consumer aligner options that rely heavily on at-home impression kits and virtual check-ins, Motto requires an initial comprehensive in-office examination at an Aspen Dental location. Throughout the treatment process, patients have regular in-person check-ups (typically every 6-10 weeks) with a dental professional to ensure progress is on track and to make any necessary adjustments. This in-person supervision is complemented by the optional MottoMonitoring™ app, which allows for virtual check-ins and progress tracking via smartphone. Motto Clear Aligners are engineered with a three-layer design of durable yet flexible materials. These aligners are laser-cut to seamlessly conform to the teeth and gum line, designed for comfort and to minimize irritation. They also boast antibacterial properties that resist odors and stains, keeping them virtually invisible during wear. The technology is designed to deliver consistent yet gentle force, promoting efficient and comfortable tooth movement. A significant appeal of Motto Clear Aligners is their cost-effectiveness. They are often priced at a flat rate of around $2,999 for mild to moderate cases, which can be considerably less than other premium clear aligner brands like Invisalign, whose treatments can range from $3,000 to $8,000. This price typically includes the entire treatment plan, professional-grade whitening kit, and custom-crafted retainers. Aspen Dental also offers flexible payment options, including financing solutions and acceptance of FSA/HSA dollars, to make treatment more affordable. Treatment duration with Motto Clear Aligners can be as short as 6 months, depending on the complexity of the case and patient compliance. Patients are typically advised to wear their aligners for at least 22 hours per day, including while sleeping, to achieve optimal results. After completing the aligner series, wearing a custom retainer is essential to maintain the newly aligned smile long-term. Motto Clear Aligners are available at numerous Aspen Dental locations across the United States, including the Culpeper, VA office located at 723 James Madison Hwy. This ensures widespread access to the doctor-supervised treatment.
