Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear Aligners is a brand of transparent orthodontic aligners developed and offered exclusively by Aspen Dental, one of the largest networks of dental offices in the United States. Launched to provide an accessible and high-quality alternative to traditional braces and other clear aligner options, Motto emphasizes a "doctor-led" approach. Unlike some direct-to-consumer aligner brands, Motto requires in-person consultations and regular check-ups with an Aspen Dental dentist to ensure personalized care, monitor progress, and make necessary adjustments throughout the treatment. Motto Clear Aligners are engineered with a three-layer, durable, yet flexible material designed to move teeth efficiently and comfortably. The aligners are custom-crafted based on a precision digital scan of the patient's teeth and are laser-cut for a seamless fit along the gum line. They also boast antibacterial properties to resist odors and stains, maintaining their near-invisible appearance. The treatment process typically involves a series of aligners, with each set worn for approximately one to two weeks before progressing to the next. Patients are guided by their Aspen Dental "smile advisors" and can often start treatment on the same day as their initial consultation, thanks to onsite labs and advanced in-office technology. Motto aims for quick results, with many patients achieving their desired smile transformation in as few as 6 months for mild to moderate misalignment cases, though treatment duration can vary based on individual needs. Motto Clear Aligners are presented as an affordable option compared to other premium clear aligner brands like Invisalign, with a flat rate that typically includes customized aligners, office visits, and a retainer for post-treatment maintenance. They offer flexible payment options, including financing, insurance acceptance, and FSA/HSA eligibility, to make treatment more accessible. The brand focuses on treating various orthodontic issues, including crowded teeth, spacing issues, and minor bite irregularities. While most check-ins are in-person, Motto also offers the MottoMonitoring™ app for virtual check-ins to complement the in-office guidance.
