FDA 510K Submission - Dental Aligner - Clear Aligner

Dental aligners are orthodontic devices that are used to straighten teeth and correct malocclusions. Sequential dental aligners, also known as clear aligners, are a popular type of dental aligner that use a series of clear plastic trays to gradually shift the teeth into their correct position.

Each aligner in the sequence is custom-made for the patient's specific orthodontic needs, based on digital models of their teeth. The aligners are typically worn for about two weeks before being replaced with the next one in the sequence, with each aligner slightly different than the one before it, in order to gradually shift the teeth into the desired position.

Sequential dental aligners are a popular alternative to traditional braces, as they are virtually invisible, removable, and do not require any wires or brackets. They are often preferred by adults and teenagers who want to straighten their teeth without the stigma associated with traditional metal braces. However, it is important to note that sequential dental aligners are not suitable for all orthodontic cases, and only a qualified orthodontist can determine whether they are the right treatment option for a particular patient.
