No
The device description focuses on the physical materials and fabrication process of a custom nightguard, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate the use of AI/ML.
Yes
The device is indicated for medical purposes such as protection against bruxism, pain relief from muscle spasm due to occlusal interference, and prevention of chronic tension and TMJ syndrome caused by chronic jaw clenching. These are therapeutic applications.
No
The device is a nightguard designed for protection and pain relief, not for diagnosing medical conditions. It is a therapeutic device that physically intervenes to prevent bruxism and related issues.
No
The device description clearly states the device is a physical nightguard made of thermoplastic resins, custom fabricated for each patient.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Dreamgard nightguard is a physical device designed to be worn in the mouth to protect against bruxism and jaw clenching. It does not analyze any biological samples from the patient.
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes a physical intervention for a mechanical issue (teeth grinding and clenching) and related pain/syndrome.
- Device Description: The description details the materials, fabrication process, and fitting of a physical appliance.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: There is no mention of analyzing samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on biological analysis.
Therefore, the Dreamgard nightguard falls under the category of a physical medical device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
Dreamgard nightguards are indicated for protection against bruxism (nighttime teeth grinding) and jaw clenching during sleep, short-term pain relief from muscle spasm due to occlusal interference, and prevention of chronic tension and temporal mandibular joint (TMJ) syndrome that is caused by chronic jaw clenching of the posterior mandibular and maxillary teeth by the temporalis muscle. Dreamgard nightguards are for prescription use only.

Device Description
The Dreamgard REM-SOFT, REM-LITE, REM-ULTRA and REM-MAX nightguards are composed of a soft, clear material made of thermoplastic resins. The devices are custom fabricated for each patient by taking an impression of the patient's upper teeth and using that impression to create a dental model to then fabricate a multi-layer custom nightguard using a pressure thermo-forming machine. The nightguard is designed to fit on the upper teeth and to span from 2nd molar to 2nd molar.
The four versions of the Dreamgard nightguards differ in thickness based on the number of layers of thermoplastic resin used. The final custom product has a soft, comfortable inner layer and a harder protective outer layer. The dentist delivers the nightguard to the patient and provides final fitting and bite balancing adjustments by using the "boil and bite" method to mold the fit to the patient's teeth and bite.

Performance Data
No performance data is required in support of this 510(k) notice.
Biocompatibility
The Dreamgard REM-SOFT, REM-LITE, REM-ULTRA and REM-MAX nightguard materials contact the mouth surfaces in fitting and use. The constituent materials are composed of thermoplastic resins, all of which are commonly used materials in nightguards, mouthguards, and other FDA cleared dental devices. Biocompatibility testing show that the materials used to fabricate the Dreamgard Nightguards are safe and pose no health risk.
Substantial Equivalence
The Dreamgard REM-SOFT, REM-LITE, REM-ULTRA and REM-MAX nightguards are substantially equivalent to the identified predicate devices. The intended uses and indications for use are virtually identical to the predicate devices, which are all sold as prescription devices. The Dreamgard nightguards and the predicate devices are also similar in purpose and functionality and with regard to physical composition, technological characteristics, design, and principles of operation. All devices are composed of thermoformable resins.
The Dreamgard nightguards and the MCI Clenching Inhibitor (K040315) are both custom fabricated by the dentist using standard industry impression material and tray. The impression is converted into a dental mold by a dental laboratory which is then used to fabricate a custom nightguard composed of multiple layers of thermoplastic resins commonly used in dental protectors, nightguards, and mouthguards. The final Dreamgard product is customized to the natural bite of the patient in the same manner the Dental Concepts Bite Plate (K024261), i.e., it is molded by heating in hot water and having the patient bite down on it. These differences in fabrication and fitting do not significantly affect safety or effectiveness. All three products have substantially equivalent directions for use for the patients. Both the Dreamgard nightguards and the Dental Concepts Bite Plate fit across the entire span of upper teeth (from 2nd molar to 2nd molar). While the Myohealth device is designed to span 6 teeth (from upper cuspid to cuspid), all three devices are of comparable size and thickness.
