Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear Aligners is a proprietary clear aligner system exclusively offered through Aspen Dental locations nationwide. Launched in 2020, it provides a modern and discreet alternative to traditional metal braces for individuals seeking to correct mild to moderate teeth-straightening issues. Unlike some at-home aligner services, Motto emphasizes a hybrid approach that combines the convenience of clear aligners with essential in-person doctor-directed care from start to finish. The treatment process with Motto Clear Aligners begins with an initial consultation at an Aspen Dental office, where a thorough dental exam is conducted, including digital scans, X-rays, and photos to create a precise 3D model of the patient's current dental structure. Following this, a customized treatment plan is developed, outlining the specific tooth movements, sequence, and estimated treatment time. Once approved, the aligners are custom-manufactured using advanced CAD/CAM technology, typically ready within two weeks. Patients receive their first set of aligners at the Aspen Dental office along with detailed instructions. Each set of aligners is designed to apply gentle, consistent pressure, gradually shifting teeth into their desired positions. Patients are typically advised to wear the aligners for 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking (anything other than cold water), and oral hygiene. Regular in-person check-ups (typically every 6-8 weeks) with the Motto care team at Aspen Dental are a crucial aspect of the treatment, allowing for monitoring progress, adjustments, and receipt of new aligner sets. The MottoMonitoring™ app is also available for virtual check-ins, complementing the in-office visits. Motto Clear Aligners are designed for comfort, made from smooth, high-grade plastic materials with a dual-shell technology that features a flexible inner layer and two strong outer layers for precise and consistent tooth movement. This design aims to minimize irritation compared to traditional braces. Motto can address a range of orthodontic issues, including overbites, underbites, spacing issues, crossbites, crowded teeth, buck teeth, and crooked teeth. The average treatment time is often less than six months. One of the key selling points of Motto Clear Aligners is their affordability, often costing significantly less than traditional braces or other popular clear aligner brands like Invisalign. The cost typically covers the entire treatment plan, including doctor-directed care, virtual monitoring, a professional-grade whitening kit, and a custom-crafted retainer. Various payment options are available, including financing solutions with $0 down, monthly payments, and acceptance of most dental insurance plans, FSA/HSA dollars. Motto also offers a "Smile Satisfaction Promise." Overall, Motto Clear Aligners provides a comprehensive orthodontic solution for those seeking a discreet, comfortable, and affordable way to achieve a straighter smile, backed by the professional oversight and in-person care of Aspen Dental.
