Magic Clear Aligners are indicated for the alignment of teeth during orthodontic treatment of malocclusions by way of continuous gentle forces.
Magic Clear Aligners consist of a series of custom-made removable plastic orthodontic appliances which sequentially reposition teeth by way of continuous gentle force. A digital or traditional mold impression of the patient's teeth is provided by a dental health professional (e.g. orthodontist or dentist). From the digital data created of the patient's teeth, specialized orthodontic CAD/CAM software is used to develop treatment plans. Using the software, dental technicians design a series of intermediate models corresponding to each stage of treatment, gradually realigning the patient's teeth according to the dental health professional's prescription. The prescribing doctor reviews and approves the model scheme and treatment plan before the molds/models are produced. Once approved, the specialized orthodontic software is used to generate standard format 3D files which are used to physically produce each model/mold in the treatment plan for aligner fabrication. Voodoo Manufacturing produces the aligner trays by thermal forming a plastic sheet over each model in the treatment plan. The aligner trays are sent to the dental health professional who then delivers them to the patient, confirming fit and design. Over a period of time, additional trays are provided sequentially to the patient by the dental health professional to gradually move the teeth to the desired position. The dental health professional monitors treatment from the first aligner is delivered to when the final aligner is delivered and treatment complete. The aligners are held in place by pressure and can be removed by the patient at any time.
This document describes the premarket notification (510(k)) for "Magic Clear Aligners" by Voodoo Manufacturing, Inc. It does not concern an AI/ML medical device, but rather a physical orthodontic device manufactured using CAD/CAM software. Therefore, many of the requested criteria related to AI/ML device performance, such as MRMC studies, ground truth establishment for training sets, and expert adjudication, are not applicable.
However, I can extract information related to the device's acceptance criteria and the studies that prove it meets those criteria, focusing on the manufacturing process and biocompatibility, which are the relevant aspects for this type of device.
1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance
| Acceptance Criterion | Reported Device Performance |
|---|---|
| Manufacturing Dimensional Accuracy: All translational measurements within 0.15 mm of the target input value (predefined tolerance of the manufacturing process). | All translational measurements were within 0.15 mm of the target input value. No statistical differences were observed between intended and measured values. This criterion was met. |
| Material Biocompatibility: Satisfy requirements of ISO 10993-1 for the intended use and specific biological endpoints. | The aligner material met the requirements for Cytotoxicity (ISO 10993-5:2009), Sensitization (ISO 10993-10:2010), Irritation (ISO 10993-10:2010), Subacute/SubChronic Toxicity (ISO 10993-11:2006), and Genotoxicity (ISO 10993-3:2014). This criterion was met. |
2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:
- Manufacturing Dimensional Accuracy: Not explicitly stated as a "test set" in the traditional sense of a clinical or AI study. The "test" involved assessing the accuracy of the manufacturing process. It stated that "Three critical aspects of the manufacturing process were assessed for accuracy: digital dentition models from treatment planning, 3D printed molds, and the final thermoformed aligners." The number of samples for each aspect (e.g., how many models, molds, or aligners were measured) is not quantified.
- Biocompatibility Testing: The sample sizes for each biological test (Cytotoxicity, Sensitization, Irritation, Subacute/SubChronic Toxicity, Genotoxicity) are not specified in the document.
- Data Provenance: Not applicable in the context of clinical data provenance for an AI/ML device as this is a manufacturing and biocompatibility study. The manufacturing validation was performed by Voodoo Manufacturing, Inc. The biocompatibility testing was conducted according to international standards (ISO 10993 series).
3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:
- Not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device requiring expert ground truth for image interpretation or diagnosis. The "ground truth" for manufacturing accuracy was the target input value in the CAD/CAM software. The "ground truth" for biocompatibility was compliance with international standards (ISO 10993).
4. Adjudication method (e.g. 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:
- Not applicable as this is not an AI/ML device requiring human adjudication of results.
5. If a multi-reader multi-case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:
- Not applicable. This device is an orthodontic aligner and does not involve human readers or AI assistance in the diagnostic or interpretation process.
6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:
- Not applicable. While the device's design relies on CAD/CAM software, the "device" itself is the physical aligner. The software's performance is not being evaluated as a standalone diagnostic tool, rather its output is a component of the manufacturing process of the physical device. The document mentions the 3Shape A/S Ortho System software has a 510(k) clearance (K180941) under the PNN product code, indicating its own prior regulatory evaluation.
7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):
- Manufacturing Dimensional Accuracy: The "ground truth" was the target input value generated by the specialized orthodontic CAD/CAM software, representing the intended geometric specifications for the digital dentition models, 3D printed molds, and thermoformed aligners.
- Biocompatibility Testing: The "ground truth" was compliance with the pass/fail criteria defined by the relevant international standards (ISO 10993 series) for biological evaluation of medical devices.
8. The sample size for the training set:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set. The CAD/CAM software used for design and manufacturing is presumably a commercially available, previously validated tool.
9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:
- Not applicable. This is not an AI/ML device requiring a training set.

5.4 DEVICE DESCRIPTION
Magic Clear Aligners consist of a series of custom-made removable plastic orthodontic appliances which sequentially reposition teeth by way of continuous gentle force.
ClearCorrect LLC
A digital or traditional mold impression of the patient's teeth is provided by a dental health professional (e.g. orthodontist or dentist). From the digital data created of the patient's teeth, specialized orthodontic CAD/CAM software is used to develop treatment plans. Using the software, dental technicians design a series of intermediate models corresponding to each stage of treatment, gradually realigning the patient's teeth according to the dental health professional's prescription.
{4}------------------------------------------------
The prescribing doctor reviews and approves the model scheme and treatment plan before the molds/models are produced.
Once approved, the specialized orthodontic software is used to generate standard format 3D files which are used to physically produce each model/mold in the treatment plan for aligner fabrication. Voodoo Manufacturing produces the aligner trays by thermal forming a plastic sheet over each model in the treatment plan. The aligner trays are sent to the dental health professional who then delivers them to the patient, confirming fit and design. Over a period of time, additional trays are provided sequentially to the patient by the dental health professional to gradually move the teeth to the desired position. The dental health professional monitors treatment from the first aligner is delivered to when the final aligner is delivered and treatment complete. The aligners are held in place by pressure and can be removed by the patient at any time.
The specialized orthodontic treatment planning software has a 510k clearance for the intended use under FDA Classification Product Code PNN, regulation 872.5470. The manufacturing process has been internally validated by Voodoo Manufacturing, Inc.
The technology is identical to that used by the Predicate device, Ortho Caps Twin Aligner (K180241) and a number of other sequential aligner systems currently being legally marketed.
5.5 INDICATIONS FOR USE
Magic Clear Aligners are indicated for the alignment of teeth during orthodontic treatment of malocclusions by way of continuous gentle forces.

TECHNOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS 5.7
Orthodontic tooth movement occurs through forces applied to the appliance as each tooth follows the predetermined displacement based on a dental health professional's prescription. The Subject device mechanism of action is identical to the Predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence. The Subject device use of Software is identical to the Predicate device and supports a determination of substantial equivalence. The Subject and Predicate devices are both fabricated of a non-sterile, biocompatible thermoplastic material which supports a determination of substantial equivalence.
5.8 PERFORMANCE DATA
Due to the difficulty in evaluating this type of dental device in a laboratory environment, no direct performance bench testing of the aligners was performed. The use of thermoplastic materials for sequential aligners intended to treat malocclusions have been well documented in scientific literature regarding incremental tooth moving forces.
Software used for treatment planning and creation of models/casts for Magic Clear Aligners is manufactured by 3Shape A/S under the name Ortho System. It has a 510(k) clearance (K180941) under the PNN product code and is indicated for the intended use.
A manufacturing validation was performed to demonstrate the dimensional accuracy of the manufacturing process for Magic Clear Aligners. Three critical aspects of the manufacturing process were assessed for accuracy: digital dentition models from treatment planning, 3D printed molds, and the final thermoformed aligners.
Independent 3rd party reverse engineering/inspection software was used to perform point-to-point and critical displacement measurements.
All translational measurements were within 0.15 mm of the target input value, the predefined tolerance of the manufacturing process. There were no statistical differences in the intended and measured values observed from any of the groups. This test has met the pre-established acceptance criteria to demonstrate dimensional accuracy.
{6}------------------------------------------------
5.9 CLINICAL TESTING
The performance of sequential aligners in the clinical environment has been well established since the first such devices were cleared by the FDA in 1998 under product code NXC. There no clinical testing is required to support Magic Clear Aligners, as the Indications for Use is equivalent to the Predicate device, which also was not subject to clinical testing. No clinical data is included in this submission.
5.10 BIOLOGICAL TESTING
Biocompatibility testing for the aligner material, the only patient contacting material, was conducted in accordance with International Standard ISO 10993-1, "Biological evaluation of medical devices – Part 1: Evaluation and testing within a risk management process". The results of the tests satisfy the requirements of the study protocols and comply with ISO 10993-1 for the intended use.
The following biological tests were performed:
| Biological Endpoint | Relevant Standard |
|---|---|
| Cytotoxicity | ISO 10993-5:2009 |
| Sensitization | ISO 10993-10:2010 |
| Irritation | ISO 10993-10:2010 |
| Subacute/SubChronic Toxicity | ISO 10993-11:2006 |
| Genotoxicity | ISO 10993-3:2014 |
5.11 CONCLUSION
Indications for Use statement for the Subject and Predicate devices is identical.
The Technological Characteristics, Materials, Prescription Use and Non-sterile status of the Subject device is identical to the Predicate device.
The use of Software to produce the Subject and Predicate devices is identical.
Overall, the Magic Clear Aligners are substantially equivalent to the Predicate device.
