The description focuses on the physical properties and molding process of a dental guard, with no mention of AI/ML terms, image processing, or data-driven performance metrics.
No
Explanation: A therapeutic device is intended to treat or cure a disease or medical condition. While "The Bite Guard" prevents damage from teeth grinding, it does not treat or cure an underlying medical condition. It acts as a protective barrier.
No
The device is described as a dental protector used to prevent grinding of teeth and jaw clenching, acting as a physical barrier. There is no mention of it being used to diagnose conditions or gather diagnostic information.
No
The device description clearly states it is a physical, moldable dental protector made of a propylene-based elastomer, which is a hardware component.
No, 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 Bite Guard" is a physical device used within the oral cavity to prevent teeth grinding and clenching. It does not analyze any biological samples.
- Intended Use: The intended use is to prevent physical actions (grinding, clenching) and reduce physical damage to teeth. It is not used for diagnosis or monitoring of a disease or condition through analysis of biological samples.
Therefore, based on the provided information, "The Bite Guard" is a medical device, but it falls under a different category than In Vitro Diagnostics.

Device Description
"The Bite Guard" is a flexible and moldable dental protector which is a comfortable mouth guard as a barrier between teeth for individuals who grind their teeth. Submerging the device into boiling water allows it to be molded to fit the patient's oral cavity exclusively. "The Bite Guard" is shaped like a dental arch and is constructed of a propylene-based elastomer.

c. Physical State
"The Bite Guard" in its physical state is composed of the following ingredients:
- Propylene-based Elastomer/Thermoplastic .
- . Non - Flavored/ No colored additives
This presents a soft propylene-based elastomer that can be moided to the individual's teeth.

d. Scientific Concepts
"The Bite Guard" is based on the scientific concept of a physical barner placed between the individual's teeth while they sleep. The barner is intended to reduce damage to the upper and lower teeth make contact. This is a removable appliance that is fitted to the mouth by taking an impression of the teeth when in a heated state.
5. Technological Characteristics of the Device
"The Bite Guard" is an occlusive night guard, fitted to the patient by the "boil and bite" method. The predicate devices are occlusive night guards as well, and also use the "boil and bite" method; therefore, The Bite Guard is technologically identical to the predicate devices. The overall shape and dimensions are identical with OTC mouth guards.
a. Materials
Thermoplastic Resin and Polypropylene based elastomer. When heated it fits to the individual's teeth. It is non-flavored with no color additives. In respect to indications for use and technology, the difference between the subject and Predicate Devices does not change the functional characteristics in any way.
b. Methods of Manufacturing
Injection mold
6. Clinical Tests Performed/ Bench
There were no clinical tests performed.
Performance Data Test preformed on Predicate devices:
"The Bite Guard" relied on biocompatibility testing as the basis for non-clinical data. The testing performed on predicate devices the night guard is safe for individuals to use. "The Bite Guard" is non-flavored and has no color additives unlike its predicate Oral B plus Outlast Nighttime Dental Guard which are flavored but they have the same material, manufacturing processes, and chemical composition and sterilization methods. Attached you will find the flow chart for Biocompatibility of Toxicity test for the 501(k). Page 27
7. Shelf Life of Device
18 months.
A nighttime mouth guard is a product that allows the consumer to provide a barner between their upper and lower teeth during periods in which they grind their teeth most, while asleep. The biocompatibility rationale is presented on page 26.
10. Conclusion
"The Bite Guard" is substantially equivalent in safety and effectiveness, design, material and chemical composition to its predicate devices except flavor. It holds up against the other mouth guards in the industry as described above.
