Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear aligners are a proprietary clear aligner system exclusively available through Aspen Dental, a large network of dental clinics across the United States. Unlike some direct-to-consumer aligner brands, Motto emphasizes a "doctor-guided from start to finish" approach, ensuring in-person consultations, evaluations, and monitoring by dental professionals. This clinical oversight aims to provide a more personalized and safe treatment experience, particularly for mild to moderate cases of misaligned teeth, including overbites, underbites, spacing issues, crossbites, crowded teeth, buck teeth, and crooked teeth. The treatment process for Motto Clear Aligners typically involves an initial consultation where a 3D scan of the patient's teeth is taken, and a personalized treatment plan is developed. Patients then receive a series of custom-made, transparent aligner trays designed to gradually shift their teeth into the desired position. Motto aligners are made with a "dual-action technology" featuring a three-layer design (a flexible inner shell and two durable outer shells) that aims to deliver consistent yet gentle force for efficient and comfortable tooth movement. They are designed to be worn for approximately 22 hours per day, removed only for eating, drinking (anything other than water), and oral hygiene. Motto Clear Aligners are positioned as an affordable alternative to traditional braces and other clear aligner brands like Invisalign. The fixed price for most mild to moderate cases is $2,999, which often includes the aligners, office visits, a teeth-whitening kit, and a retainer for post-treatment retention. They also offer flexible payment options, including dental financing, insurance plans, and FSA/HSA utilization. The treatment duration can vary, but many patients see results in as few as 6 months. To enhance convenience, Motto offers the MottoMonitoring™ app for virtual check-ins, complementing the essential in-office visits. The brand also provides "MottoAssured™," a promise to work with the patient until they are satisfied with their new smile, and "MottoRetain™," which allows for retainer replacements up to 8 times in the first two years if needed.
