Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear aligners is a brand of clear aligners exclusively offered by Aspen Dental, a large dental service organization with numerous clinic locations across the United States. It is positioned as a doctor-led, comprehensive clear aligner treatment designed to correct mild to moderate teeth alignment issues such as crooked teeth, gaps, overbites, underbites, open bites, and crowded teeth. What distinguishes Motto Clear Aligners is their integrated approach within the Aspen Dental network. Unlike some direct-to-consumer aligner brands, Motto emphasizes in-person care and supervision from Aspen Dental dentists throughout the entire treatment journey. This includes an initial thorough dental exam, digital scans of the teeth, X-rays, and photos for precise 3D modeling and customized treatment planning. Patients receive personalized attention from "smile advisors" and have regular in-person check-ups, typically every 6-8 weeks, to monitor progress and make any necessary adjustments. Motto Clear Aligners utilize advanced dual-activated, 3-layer material technology designed for best-in-class accuracy, comfort, and consistent pressure. This innovative design aims to move teeth more predictably and effectively, with a flexible inner layer and two strong outer layers that maintain optimal positioning and ensure continuous force throughout the treatment cycle. This technology is reported to generate 150% better teeth movement force over a 10-day wear period compared to some other aligners. The treatment process with Motto typically begins with a consultation where a custom treatment plan is developed. Once approved, custom aligners are manufactured, usually within two weeks. Patients are instructed to wear their aligners for at least 22 hours a day, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than water, and oral hygiene. Average treatment times are often reported to be as little as 6 months, though this can vary based on the complexity of the individual case. Upon completion of the treatment, retainers are provided and are crucial for maintaining the long-term results. Aspen Dental aims to make Motto Clear Aligners affordable by offering competitive pricing (reportedly 50% less than some alternatives like Invisalign) and providing flexible payment options, including dental financing, insurance coverage (if applicable), and acceptance of FSA/HSA dollars. This focus on accessibility, combined with doctor-led in-person care and advanced technology, forms the core of the Motto Clear Aligners offering within the Aspen dental clinic setting.
