Protection against teeth grinding, bruxism and jaw clenching. Rx: Short-term pain relief from muscle spasm due to occlusal interference. For the prevention of chronic tension and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome that is caused by chronic jaw clenching of the mandibular and maxillary teeth by the temporalis muscle.

No
The device description and intended use focus on the physical properties and mechanical function of a dental guard, with no mention of AI or ML technology.

Yes
The device is intended for protection against bruxism and teeth grinding, and for short-term pain relief from muscle spasm due to occlusal interference, as well as prevention of chronic tension and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome. These are therapeutic indications.

No
The device is a dental guard designed to protect against bruxism and teeth grinding, and to provide short-term pain relief from muscle spasms related to occlusal interference. Its intended use focuses on prevention and physical protection rather than diagnosing a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "dental guard composed of a moldable thermoplastic inner lining... and a hard outer shell," indicating it is a physical hardware device, not software only.

No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information about a person's health.
  • Device function: The device described is a dental guard designed to be worn in the mouth to protect teeth from grinding and clenching. It is a physical device that interacts directly with the user's teeth and jaw.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states protection against bruxism, teeth grinding, and jaw clenching, and short-term pain relief from muscle spasm due to occlusal interference. These are mechanical and physical functions, not diagnostic tests performed on samples.

The description of the device, its intended use, and the lack of any mention of analyzing biological samples all indicate that this is a physical medical device, not an IVD.

Dear Dr. Estrin:

We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices, good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.

If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls.

In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
