Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear aligners is a clear aligner solution designed for teeth straightening, exclusively offered through Aspen Dental's extensive network of dental clinics across the United States. Launched by Aspen Dental Management Inc. (ADMI), Motto aims to make orthodontic treatment more accessible and affordable, bridging the gap between expensive traditional braces and less supervised at-home aligner kits. Motto Clear Aligners are transparent, high-quality plastic orthodontic devices that work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move teeth into the desired position. They are crafted from a multi-layered, durable, yet flexible material that is laser-cut to seamlessly conform to the teeth and gum line. This advanced design, featuring a flexible inner layer and two strong outer layers, is intended to move teeth efficiently and comfortably, resisting odors and stains. A key differentiator for Motto is its doctor-guided, in-person care model. Unlike some direct-to-consumer aligner brands, Motto emphasizes professional oversight from start to finish. Patients undergo a thorough dental exam, digital scans, X-rays, and photos at an Aspen Dental office to create a precise 3D model and customized treatment plan. This in-office approach allows for personalized adjustments and real-time professional help, which is crucial for optimal results and preventing issues. While virtual check-ins are available through the MottoMonitoring™ app for added convenience, they complement rather than replace essential in-office visits. Treatment with Motto Clear Aligners typically addresses mild to moderate misalignments, including overbites, underbites, spacing issues, crossbites, crowded teeth, and crooked teeth. Many patients can achieve their desired results in as little as 6 months, although the exact duration varies based on the complexity of the case and patient compliance. Patients are generally advised to wear their aligners for at least 22 hours a day, including while sleeping, and to switch to a new set approximately every one to two weeks as prescribed by their dentist. Motto aims to be an affordable alternative to other clear aligner brands like Invisalign, with treatment often starting at a flat rate around $2,999 for mild to moderate cases. This price typically includes the aligners, doctor-directed care, virtual monitoring, a professional-grade whitening kit, and a custom-crafted retainer. Flexible payment options, dental financing, insurance plans, and the acceptance of FSA/HSA dollars are available to make treatment more accessible. The "Smile Satisfaction Guarantee" and "MottoAssured" backing provide a level of confidence for patients, ensuring refinements can be requested within 30 days of completing the last aligner step, provided the patient has been compliant with their treatment plan.
