Intended Use
AcceleDent is an orthodontic accessory intended for use during orthodontic treatment. It is used in conjunction with orthodontic appliances such as braces and helps facilitate minor anterior tooth movement.
Device Description
The AcceleDent™ System is an orthodontic accessory for the treatment of tooth malocclusion. AcceleDent™ should be used by patients for twenty minutes per day in conjunction with standard orthodontic treatment with fixed appliances such as braces. The Activator and Mouthpiece assembly is light (2.7 oz or 75 g), comfortable, handsfree, and can be used while multi-tasking or while engaged in a variety of other daily activities.

No
The summary describes a mechanical device that uses vibration to facilitate tooth movement and does not mention any AI or ML components.

Yes.
The device is used to facilitate minor anterior tooth movement, which is a therapeutic effect in orthodontics.

No
Explanation: The device is described as an "orthodontic accessory" that "helps facilitate minor anterior tooth movement" and "increased the rate of tooth movement." It is used in "conjunction with orthodontic appliances such as braces." There is no indication that it is used to diagnose any condition or disease.

No

The device description explicitly mentions a physical "Activator and Mouthpiece assembly" which is a hardware component.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVDs are used to examine specimens from the human body. The intended use and device description clearly state that AcceleDent is an orthodontic accessory used in the mouth to facilitate tooth movement. It does not involve the analysis of blood, urine, tissue, or any other bodily fluid or substance.
  • The function is mechanical/physical. AcceleDent works in conjunction with braces to influence the physical movement of teeth. This is a mechanical or physical action, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.
  • The performance study focuses on tooth movement and safety. The clinical study described evaluates the rate of tooth movement and safety (root resorption). This aligns with the function of an orthodontic device, not a diagnostic test.

Therefore, AcceleDent falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device used for diagnosis.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)

Non-clinical and clinical performance testing completed with the AcceleDent™ System has demonstrated that the device performs safely and as intended.
Non-clinical performance testing completed:

  • Output force testing
  • Force testing
  • Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety
  • Biocompatibility

A clinical study was performed to support this 510(k) Notification. The study was performed to determine whether teeth moved faster with standard orthodontics plus the AcceleDent™ device when compared to standard orthodontics plus a sham control. Patients were followed at regular intervals to measure the rate of tooth movement until closure was achieved. Safety assessments also included evaluation of root resorption. The results of the study demonstrated that the AcceleDent™ increased the rate of tooth movement when used as an adjunct to conventional orthodontic treatment, and without any significant risks.

AcceleDent™ System TRADITIONAL 510(k) NOTIFICATION

Intended Use:

AcceleDent™ is an orthodontic accessory intended for use during orthodontic treatment. It is used in conjunction with orthodontic appliances such as braces and helps facilitate minor anterior tooth movement.

Characteristics Comparison:

A comparison of the AcceleDent™ System's indications for use with the predicate device indicates the AcceleDent™ System is substantially equivalent to currently marketed devices according to the following comparison:

  • The general intended use of the device as an adjunct to orthodontics to facilitate ● tooth movement is the same as the OrthoTrainer.
  • The indications for use to accelerate tooth movement during standard ● orthodontic treatment is a subset of the broader indications of the OrthoTrainer.
  • The technological characteristics of the AcceleDent™ are very similar to the . OrthoTrainer. Both are elastomeric devices that are held in the mouth for a sustained period each day.

Performance Testing:

Non-clinical and clinical performance testing completed with the AcceleDent™ System has demonstrated that the device performs safely and as intended.

Non-clinical performance testing completed:

  • Output force testing .
  • Force testing .
  • Electromagnetic Compatibility and Electrical Safety .
  • . Biocompatibility

A clinical study was performed to support this 510(k) Notification. The study was performed to determine whether teeth moved faster with standard orthodontics plus the AcceleDent™ device when compared to standard orthodontics plus a sham control.
