How do Motto® clear aligners work?

Motto clear aligners are transparent, high-quality plastic orthodontic devices that help straighten teeth better than braces. They work by applying gentle, consistent pressure to gradually move teeth into the desired position over time. Each set of clear aligners is custom-made to fit comfortably over the teeth and is worn for a specified period, depending on the individual's needs, before progressing to the next set.

Clear aligners have become increasingly efficient over time. While most clear aligner brands provide results comparable to, if not slightly faster than, traditional braces, Motto teeth aligners offer a particularly accelerated treatment timeline, often completing the alignment process in as few as six months.

Clear aligners, such as Motto aligners, work continuously to straighten your smile while they are worn. Despite the subtle nature of the shifting process, teeth are constantly moving into their correct positions. Initially, teeth aligners create space within the dental arch to facilitate proper alignment, followed by gradual movement of the teeth towards their new positions. Some additional adjustments may be necessary to achieve optimal alignment, ensuring a beautifully straightened smile over time.

During your teeth straightening journey with Motto clear aligners, your dental team closely monitors your progress. While some minor discomfort is common during aligner treatments, severe pain indicates a potential underlying issue that requires attention from a dental professional. If you experience increasing discomfort over time, it's important to schedule an appointment with your dentist to discuss your options and ensure a comfortable and effective treatment process.

Clear aligners are typically changed every two weeks to accommodate the gradual movement of teeth. Each set of aligners differs slightly from the previous one, gradually shifting teeth into the desired alignment according to the treatment plan.

Clear aligners offer several advantages over traditional braces, including their discreet appearance, removable nature, and greater comfort. They also allow for easier oral hygiene maintenance and dietary flexibility, as no dietary restrictions are associated with clear aligner treatment.
