How clear aligners work FAQs

Motto clear aligners work by applying gentle, controlled pressure to gradually move teeth into alignment. You’ll wear a series of custom-made aligners, each designed to make small adjustments over time, following a treatment plan created and monitored by a trained provider.

Getting started with Motto involves three simple steps: book a free appointment, meet with a trained dental provider for an exam and digital scan, and begin wearing your custom aligners as directed. Your doctor will guide you through each step of the process.

Many Motto patients complete treatment in 6 months or less. Your provider will review your expected timeline during your free consultation.

Motto clear aligners are typically worn 20–22 hours per day. They should be removed only for eating, drinking anything other than water, brushing, and flossing to help keep treatment on track.

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.

Motto clear aligners are designed for comfort. They’re made from a flexible, medical-grade material with smooth edges to help reduce irritation. Some people notice mild pressure when starting a new set, which is normal and typically short-lived as teeth begin to shift.

You’ll receive all the aligner sets you need at the start of treatment and switch to a new set on the schedule your provider recommends, often about once a week. Your progress is monitored through scheduled check-ins, with virtual access to guidance and support whenever you need it.

Clear aligners and braces are both effective ways to straighten teeth, but they work differently. Motto clear aligners are removable, discreet, and designed for comfort, making them easier to fit into daily life compared to fixed braces.

Clear aligners are nearly invisible, removable, and easier to fit into daily life. They allow for normal eating and oral hygiene while offering a more discreet treatment experience compared to traditional braces.
