Unknown
The description mentions "proprietary software that calculates the ideal position" and "identifies the ideal placement," which could potentially involve AI/ML, but the summary does not explicitly state its use or provide details about training/test data, which are common indicators of AI/ML.
No
A therapeutic device directly treats or cures a medical condition. This device is a software system intended to aid in orthodontic treatment planning by determining ideal bracket placement; it does not directly treat malocclusions. The actual treatment of placing brackets and correcting malocclusions is performed by a dental professional using the indirect bonding tray produced with the aid of this software, making it a planning and manufacturing aid rather than a therapeutic device itself.
No
Explanation: The device is described as a software system for orthodontic treatment planning and bracket placement, which is a treatment planning function, not a diagnostic one. It aids in correcting malocclusions based on existing patient data rather than identifying or diagnosing a condition.
No
While the core of the device is software, the description explicitly states that the "end product is an indirect bonding tray" which is a physical component fabricated based on the software's output and used by the dental professional. The device system includes both software and a physical tray.
Based on the provided information, the eXceed Computerized Precision Bracket Placement Solution is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are devices intended for use in the collection, preparation, and examination of specimens taken from the human body (such as blood, urine, or tissue) to provide information for the diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of disease.
- eXceed's Function: The eXceed system is a software and process designed to aid in orthodontic treatment planning and bracket placement. It uses dental impressions, scans, and images to create a 3D model and determine the ideal bracket positions. The end product is an indirect bonding tray used by a dental professional to place brackets on a patient's teeth.
- No Specimen Examination: The system does not involve the examination of specimens taken from the human body for diagnostic purposes. It works with external anatomical data (dental structures) and images.
Therefore, the eXceed Computerized Precision Bracket Placement Solution falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment planning and execution, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

The software is verified and validated by the digital model generated, matching the 3D model and bracket placement locations prescribed and approved by the Orthodontist.
As confirmed in comparative testing, the visual guidance system used by the subject device is accurate, in the sense that it corresponds exactly with the virtual coordinates dictated by the approved placement plan, thus enabling the technician to place the brackets on the working model precisely according to that plan. As such, it is as safe and effective as the predicate and does not raise any new concerns.

Intended use/Indications for use
eXceed Computerized Precision Bracket Placement Solution is a software system intended for use as an aid in orthodontic treatment planning to correct Malocclusions in Orthodontic Patients. For use by dental professionals trained in orthodontic treatment, including radiographic analyses and treatment planning. eXceed Computerized Precision Bracket Placement Solution is intended for use with commercially available brackets currently used in standard orthodontic treatment. The end product is an indirect bonding tray for use by the Dental professional to place multiple brackets at the same time.
Technological Characteristics
The device consists of proprietary software that calculates the ideal position of the dental brackets based on the dental impressions and or 3D models supplied by the patients Orthodontist. Commercially available brackets are used as part of the system. A side by side comparison table is shown at the end of this summary.
Principals of operation
Using the images provided by the Dental Professional, the software creates a 3D model and identifies the ideal placement of the brackets. The file is sent to the Dental Professional for review and approval. The Dental Professional may adjust the final position of the bracket if desired. A 3D model is printed, and the brackets are placed on the model in the prescribed location, approved by the Orthodontist. An indirect bonding tray is fabricated with the brackets in place. The tray and brackets are sent to the Dental professional. The Dental Professional places the indirect tray using their chosen commercially available bracket adhesive.
While the subject and predicate devices do not have identical Indications for Use statements, they share the same intended use. Both are intended for use as aids in orthodontic treatment planning for use by dental professionals trained in orthodontic treatment, including radiographic analyses and treatment planning. Both are intended for use with commercially-available brackets.

The operating principle for Exceed Computerized Precision Bracket Placement Solution and OrthoCAD iQ is identical, with the exception of the guidance method used by the technician in the manufacturing facility when pasting the brackets to the working model, prior to tray fabrication. The difference between the Subject and predicate devices is that the subject device employs a different guidance method for placing the brackets on the working model prior to trays' fabrication. Exceed Computerized Precision Bracket Placement Solution includes visual/physical frames on its models, while OrthoCAD provides virtual visual quidance only.
The difference in operating principle is minor, and does not render the subject device substantially different from the predicate device for the following reasons:
- · The intended use of the different guidance method is the same as in the predicate device, providing the technician at the manufacturing facility clear and unequivocal guidance regarding where the brackets are to be placed on the working model, based on the approved placement plan.
- As confirmed in comparative testing, the visual guidance system used by the subject ● device is accurate, in the sense that it corresponds exactly with the virtual coordinates dictated by the approved placement plan, thus enabling the technician to place the brackets on the working model precisely according to that plan. As such, it is as safe and effective as the predicate and does not raise any new concerns.
Performance Data
The software is verified and validated by the digital model generated, matching the 3D model and bracket placement locations prescribed and approved by the Orthodontist.
Substantial Equivalence
Great Lakes Orthodontics Ltd has demonstrated that, for the purposes of FDA's regulation of medical devices, the Exceed Computerized Precision Bracket Placement Solution is substantially equivalent to the predicate device in terms of intended use, indications, technical characteristics, and principles of operation.
