The description focuses on traditional CAD/CAM software for treatment planning and physical manufacturing processes, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for analysis, planning, or manufacturing.
Yes
The device is indicated for the "alignment of teeth during orthodontic treatment of malocclusions by way of continuous gentle forces," which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
The device is indicated for alignment of teeth and repositioning them, and the description focuses on the manufacturing process and physical properties of the aligners, not on diagnosing medical conditions.
No
The device description clearly states that the device consists of "a series of custom-made removable plastic orthodontic appliances" which are physically produced and delivered to the patient. While software is used in the design and manufacturing process, the final medical device is a physical product.
Based on the provided information, the Magic Clear Aligners device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are medical devices used to examine specimens taken from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Magic Clear Aligners Function: The device description clearly states that Magic Clear Aligners are used for the physical alignment of teeth during orthodontic treatment. They are physical appliances that apply force to reposition teeth.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: The device does not involve the analysis of any biological specimens from the patient. The input is a physical or digital impression of the teeth, which is used for manufacturing the aligners, not for diagnostic testing of a biological sample.
Therefore, Magic Clear Aligners fall under the category of a physical medical device used for treatment, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

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.
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.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
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.
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.
Key Metrics (Sensitivity, Specificity, PPV, NPV, etc.)
All translational measurements were within 0.15 mm of the target input value.

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.

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 |
