Myth No. 2: "They're more expensive than braces."
Actually. Clear aligners are a motto. Traditional braces are equivalent in price. But the actual worth is in something you can't see: a wire-filled mouth. There's also the benefit of not having to manoeuvre around those wires when brushing and flossing.
Myth No. 3: "Clear aligners take forever to work."
This is not correct. While each case is different, the average Motto patient completes therapy in around 6 months. Traditional braces, on the other hand, often take between 18 and 24 months to complete.
Myth No. 4: "Teens cannot wear clear aligners." They require braces."

Your aligner trays will be replaced every few weeks with Motto therapy. So, as long as you clean them everyday and remove them for eating and drinking, your clear aligners will remain clear.
Myth No. 6: "You'll speak with a lisp."
Clear aligners, like any new object that takes up space in your mouth, require some getting used to. At first, you may detect a little lisp. This is typical and indicates that your aligners are working properly. However, most Motto patients find that it subsides within a day or two.
Myth No. 7: which goes like this: "Clear aligners are a pain to maintain."
Clear aligners are simple to remove and clean. All you need to do is Brush your aligners using a soft-bristled toothbrush after brushing your teeth. Soak them in hydrogen peroxide for five minutes for a thorough cleaning.
Myth No. 8: "Braces are more effective than clear aligners."
This is a common misconception. In addressing all sorts of misaligned bites, clear aligners are just as effective as braces. Motto's superior scanning and technology allows for incredibly precise tooth movement for more predictable results. Plus, clear aligners are less difficult to clean than braces. That means you should practise better oral hygiene.
