Device Description
MTM® Clear Aligner In-Office is a system of plastic aligners fabricated in the dental professional's office that are modified with thermoplier accessories to create force points and spaces necessary for tooth movement by way of continuous gentle force. Commercially available auxiliaries such as hooks and orthodontic elastics may also be used in order to create the desired tooth movement. As the aligner is positioned on any particular tooth, the presence of the force points loads the polymeric shell material. The stored energy thus imparted into the elastomeric material of the aligner slowly dissipates over time as the bone underlying the tooth physiologically responds to the forces. After each desired incremental tooth movement has occurred, the aligner can be modified to increase the size of the force points or a new aligner may be fabricated. Each aligner moves the patient's teeth in small increments from their original state.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
A clinical study was performed in order to support the safety and efficacy of the MTM® Clear Aligner In-Office System. The objective of the study was to demonstrate the ability of the MTM® Clear Aligner In-Office to achieve incremental minor tooth movement (including torque, tipping, rotation and bodily movement), using a series of aligners consistent with and fully supportive of the product's indications for use.
The three phase prospective open-label safety and effectiveness study included a pretreatment period for establishing baseline root integrity and tooth position and to develop a treatment plan, an in-treatment monitoring period to document progression of the case, and a post-treatment period designed to establish final tooth position and root integrity. This data was also used to determine the magnitude of total tooth movement.
The study results included the following number of teeth successfully treated by sequential aligners:
• Torque 5 cases
• Tipping 7 cases
• Rotation 14 cases
• Bodily Movement 11 cases
No adverse events, including root resportion, were reported during the study.

Utilizing a series of incremental minor tooth movements (torque, tipping, rotation and bodily movement), MTM® Clear Aligner sequentially positions teeth by way of continuous gentle force.
6. Description of Safety and Substantial Equivalence:
Technological Characteristics:
The MTM® Clear Aligners that are created in-office have the same technological characteristics as the predicate device, in that all the devices are made from commercially available plastic that is thermoformed to create a customized, patient-specific aligner. The aligners are then used for minor tooth movement by way of continuous gentle force.
In both systems, the aligners are created by thermoforming commercially available plastic material. The MTM® Clear Aligners are thermoformed by the healthcare practitioner in-office and in the case of the predicate device; the aligners are thermoformed by an outside laboratory. The plastic used for MTM Clear Aligners is cleared under K062828, Mouthguard and Aligner Material.
The MTM® Clear Aligner In-Office system incorporates the use of thermobiler accessories to create spaces and force points in order to cause minor tooth movement, These force points are located in specific areas and positioned in such a way that they provide a continuous force which slowly dissipates over time on the tooth to be moved for as long as the aligner is worn. The predicate device system also has the option of creating force points using pliers ("plier detailing") as a supplemental treatment to facilitate minor tooth movement.
With the MTM® Clear Aligner In-Office system, auxiliaries such as hooks, buttons, and orthodontic elastics may be used by the healthcare practitioner together with the aligner for the purpose of tooth movement. The H.I.T.® - Hook Inserting Tack System, is designed to insert external hooks onto the MTM® Clear Aligners for the purposes of attaching elastics. The H.I.T.® system consists of a H.I.T.® punch plier (used to punch a hole into the aligner into which the hook is inserted), a H.I.T.® insertion plier (used to insert the hook into the MTM® Clear Aligners), and the H.I.T.® hooks (a hook used to attach the elastics). Commercially available orthodontic elastics can be used to attach to the hooks. These auxiliaries are attached to the aligner and not the teeth, and the usage of these auxiliaries is determined by the dental practitioner. With the predicate system, the healthcare practitioner also has the option of using these types of auxiliary components in-office with the aligner for the purpose of tooth movement.
In both systems, the aligners can be removed by the patient at any time, and treatment can be discontinued at any time.

Non-Clinical Performance Data:
The MTM® Clear Aligner In-Office System is composed of existing, commercially available DENTSPLY Mouthguard and Aligner Materials which are cleared in premarket notification K062828. Material properties data derived from the methods described in ISO 20795-2 (Dentistry - Base polymers - Part 2: Orthodontic base polymers), ASTM D790 (Standard Test Methods for Flexural Properties of Unreinforced and Reinforced Plastics and Electrical Insulating Materials), ASTM D570 (Standard Test Method for Water Absorption of Plastics), and ASTM D256 (Standard Test Method for Determining the Izod Pendulum Impact Resistance of Plastics) for the aligner materials have been included to support substantial equivalence. No additional in vitro testing of finished, customized aligners has been included to support substantial equivalence. Clinical data is included to validate that the MTM® Clear Aligner meets the requirements of its intended use.
Clinical Performance Data
A clinical study was performed in order to support the safety and efficacy of the MTM® Clear Aligner In-Office System. The objective of the study was to demonstrate the ability of the MTM® Clear Aligner In-Office to achieve incremental minor tooth movement (including torque, tipping, rotation and bodily movement), using a series of aligners consistent with and fully supportive of the product's indications for use.
The three phase prospective open-label safety and effectiveness study included a pretreatment period for establishing baseline root integrity and tooth position and to develop a treatment plan, an in-treatment monitoring period to document progression of the case, and a post-treatment period designed to establish final tooth position and root integrity. This data was also used to determine the magnitude of total tooth movement.
The study results included the following number of teeth successfully treated by sequential aligners:
| • Torque | 5 cases |
|---|---|
| • Tipping | 7 cases |

Conclusion Regarding Substantial Equivalence:
MTM® Clear Aligner In-Office moves teeth by way of continuous gentle force through a sequence of clear aligners that follow the treatment plan developed by the clinician as does the predicate, Align System.
MTM® Clear Aligner In-Office is substantially equivalent to the predicate Invisalign System originally cleared under premarket notification K981095 and subsequently modified under premarket notification K081960. The MTM® Clear Aligner In-Office incorporates the same fundamental technology, is composed of similar materials, has the same intended use, and similar indications for use. Clinical data has been further provided to support the safety and efficacy of the MTM® Clear Aligner system when used within its proposed intended use. The conclusion of the design and intended use comparison of the MTM® Clear Aligner In-Office to the predicate device and the results of the clinical data included in this premarket notification support substantial equivalence.
