Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear aligners is a comprehensive clear aligner treatment system that is exclusively available through Aspen Dental, a large network of dental clinics across the United States. It is designed as a modern alternative to traditional metal braces, focusing on discretion and flexibility for patients. The aligners are made from transparent, high-quality thermoplastic material, making them virtually invisible when worn. A key differentiator for Motto is its commitment to in-person, doctor-guided care. Unlike some direct-to-consumer aligner brands, Motto emphasizes professional oversight from initial consultation to the completion of treatment. This includes digital scans, X-rays, photos, and personalized treatment plans developed by a dentist. Onsite labs and in-office technology at Aspen Dental locations aim to allow for efficient processes, potentially even same-day delivery of the first aligner tray. Motto Clear Aligners are designed to gradually shift teeth into their desired positions through a series of custom-crafted aligners. They utilize advanced three-layer technology with dual-shell materials, which is purported to deliver less initial force for comfort and more effective tooth movement. The aligners are removable for eating, drinking (anything other than water), and oral hygiene, offering greater convenience compared to fixed braces. The treatment is generally recommended for individuals with mild to moderate orthodontic issues such as crowded teeth, spacing issues, overbites, underbites, and crossbites. The average treatment time can be as short as six months, though this varies based on the complexity of the case and patient compliance. Patients are typically advised to wear their aligners for at least 22 hours per day. Motto aims to make clear aligner treatment affordable, with plans often starting around $2,999, which can include retainers, a teeth-whitening kit, and access to the MottoMonitoring™ app for virtual check-ins (complementing in-office visits). Financing options and acceptance of FSA/HSA dollars are often available to further enhance accessibility. Post-treatment, wearing a retainer is essential to maintain the results.
