Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear aligners is a proprietary clear aligner system developed and offered exclusively by Aspen Dental, a large network of independently owned dental practices across 43 states in the United States. Launched with the goal of making orthodontic treatment more accessible and convenient, Motto distinguishes itself by offering a hybrid approach that integrates professional, in-person dental supervision with the user-friendly nature of clear aligners. The treatment process with Motto Clear Aligners begins with an initial consultation at an Aspen Dental office, where a thorough examination, including 3D digital scans of the patient's teeth, is performed. This allows for the creation of a personalized treatment plan designed by a licensed dentist. Unlike some direct-to-consumer aligner brands that rely solely on at-home impression kits, Motto emphasizes doctor-led care from start to finish, with regular in-office check-ups (typically every 6-10 weeks) to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. This oversight ensures optimal results and a safer treatment experience. Motto Clear Aligners are crafted from a transparent, high-quality, three-layer plastic material with dual-shell technology. This design is engineered to apply gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move teeth into the desired position, offering enhanced comfort with 40% less force at insertion compared to earlier materials. The aligners are also designed to be durable, flexible, and resistant to stains and odors, with laser-cut, scalloped edges for a seamless fit along the gumline. Motto treatments typically address mild to moderate orthodontic issues such as gaps, crowding, and slight misalignments. Many patients achieve their desired results in as little as six months, a timeframe often shorter than traditional braces. The convenience of removable aligners allows for normal eating, drinking (of non-water beverages), and oral hygiene practices. In terms of cost, Motto Clear Aligners are positioned as an affordable alternative to premium options like Invisalign, often costing around $2,999, which typically includes the customized aligners, office visits, a teeth-whitening kit, and a retainer for post-treatment maintenance. Aspen Dental also offers flexible payment options, including dental financing and acceptance of FSA/HSA dollars. Furthermore, Motto comes with "MottoAssured™," a promise to work with the patient until they are satisfied with their new smile, provided they comply with the treatment plan. They also offer "MottoRetain™," which allows for multiple retainer replacements within the first two years.
