Motto Clear Aligners

Motto Clear Aligners is a brand of transparent, high-quality plastic orthodontic devices designed to straighten teeth. It is exclusively offered through Aspen Dental, a national network of dental offices across the U.S. This distinguishes Motto from many direct-to-consumer aligner brands by emphasizing in-person, doctor-led care from consultation to the completion of treatment. The process typically begins with a consultation and a precision digital scan of the patient's teeth. This scan is used to create a customized treatment plan and custom-crafted aligners. A key feature of Motto is the ability for patients to sometimes receive their first aligner tray on the same day as their initial visit, thanks to in-office technology and labs at some Aspen Dental locations. Motto Clear Aligners are designed to provide consistent, gentle pressure to gradually move teeth into the desired position. They are crafted with a three-layer design, featuring dual-shell materials that aim for more efficient and comfortable tooth movement, with claims of 40% less force at insertion and 150% better teeth movement over a 10-day wear period compared to earlier-generation materials. The aligners are also noted for being anti-bacterial, odor- and stain-resistant, and made from medical-grade, BPA and latex-free plastic with scalloped edges for comfort. Treatment duration with Motto can be as short as six months for many cases, a faster timeline compared to traditional braces which can take 18 months to two years. Patients are typically advised to wear their aligners for 22 hours per day, removing them only for eating, drinking anything other than tap water, and cleaning. The treatment cost for mild to moderate cases is often a flat rate of $2,999, which generally includes all aligners, office visits, a professional teeth whitening kit, and a post-treatment retainer. Flexible payment options, insurance acceptance, and FSA/HSA utilization are available to make the treatment accessible. Motto Clear Aligners are suitable for adults with mild to moderate crowding, spacing issues, and minor bite problems. They address various orthodontic issues like overbites, underbites, crossbites, crowded teeth, buck teeth, and Crooked Teeth. While virtual check-ins are supported through the MottoMonitoring™ app, the emphasis remains on in-person oversight by dental professionals. The brand also offers MottoRetain, a service for replacement retainers.
