The description focuses on the physical aligners and the digital treatment plan created by a dental professional. There is no mention of AI or ML being used in the planning or fabrication process.
Yes
The device is indicated for the alignment of teeth during orthodontic treatment of malocclusion, which is a therapeutic purpose.
No
This device is described as an aligner for orthodontic treatment, which is a therapeutic device for moving teeth, not a diagnostic one for identifying or characterizing a disease or condition.
No
The device description explicitly states the device is a physical aligner made of thermoformed polyurethane plastic, which is a hardware component. While a digital treatment plan is mentioned, the device itself is a physical object.
Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body (like blood, urine, tissue) to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- iSMILE's Function: The iSMILE device is a physical appliance (aligners) used to mechanically move teeth within the mouth. It directly interacts with the patient's anatomy.
- Intended Use: The intended use is "alignment of teeth during orthodontic treatment of malocclusion," which is a mechanical and structural treatment, not a diagnostic test performed on a specimen.
- Device Description: The description focuses on the physical properties of the aligners and how they apply force to teeth.
- Lack of Diagnostic Elements: There is no mention of analyzing biological samples, detecting biomarkers, or providing diagnostic information based on laboratory tests.
Therefore, the iSMILE device falls under the category of a medical device used for treatment, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
The iSMILE is a sequence of transparent aligners created from a digital orthodontic treatment plan. The iSMILE aligner is fabricated of a transparent thermoformed polyurethane plastic. Each aligner delivery a unique combination of minor forces to create the planned tooth movement. The digital orthodontic treatment plan is created by a dental health professional. The iSMILE Aligner incorporates the use of attachments 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.

Summary of Performance Studies
As part of demonstrating substantial equivalence of iSMILE to the primary predicate device that are subject to this 510(k) submission, 3D Diagnostix Inc. completed a number of non-clinical performance tests. iSMILE meets all the requirements for overall design, biocompatibility, and performance results confirming that the design output meets the design inputs and specifications for the device.
iSMILE passed all the testing in accordance with internal requirements, national standards, and international standards shown below to support substantial equivalence of the subject device:
- Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-1 passed cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, Acute Systemic Toxicity, Mutagenicity, and Subacute Toxicity for the used thermoforming sheets.
- There is no defined specification or standard for tensile strength so a sample of base materials used for fabrication of aligners were tested and analyzed producing acceptable results for tensile strength yield.
- There is no defined specification or standard for aligner elongation which a sample of based materials used for fabrication of aligners were tested and analyzed showing acceptable results in comparison of break point.
- There is no defined specification or standard for tensile stress so a sample of base materials used for fabrication of aligners were tested and analyzed producing acceptable results for tensile stress at break point.
- There is no defined specification or standard for modulus so this was tested for the base materials used for fabrication of aligners to show acceptable results between the samples tested.
- . There is no defined specification or standard for load of materials which found acceptable results when tested and analyzed for samples of base material tested used for fabrication of aligners.
- . There is no defined specification or standard for water absorption which found acceptable results when tested and analyzed for fabricated aligners.
- Process Flow validation was performed to ensure that the finished device matches the software output specifications. The output and work model and aligner were tested and compared. Aligners met the acceptance criteria of this testing.
In all instances, the iSMILE functioned as intended and Biocompatibility Testing, and Process Flow Validation observed was as expected.
There are no differences between iSMILE and Invisalign System was defined therefore a performance testing was performed to iSMILE to ensure that patients are receiving the aligners as prescribed by the practitioner to move their teeth as intended (final position). The results of this performance testing are accepted according to acceptance criteria and do not raise any additional concerns.

Intended Use / Indications for Use
The i5MLE is indicated for use in alignment of teeth during orthodontic treatment of malocclusion.
Technological Characteristics
The iSMILE Aligners that are produced have the same technological characteristics as the primary predicate device, in that all the devices are made from commercially available plastic that is thermoformed to create a customized, patient-specific aligners are then used for minor tooth movement by way of continuous gentle force.
In both devices, the aligners are created by thermoforming commercially available plastic material. The iSMILE Aligners are thermoformed by 3D Diagnostix Inc. and in the case of the primary predicate device; the aligners are thermoformed by an outside laboratory.
The iSMILE Aligner incorporates the use of attachments 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.

iSMILE has the same intended uses and similar indications, technological characteristics, Manufacturing Method, Material Used and principles of operation as its primary predicate device. iSMILE is substantial equivalent to the Invisalign System.
There are no differences between iSMILE and Invisalign System was defined therefore a performance testing was performed to iSMILE to ensure that patients are receiving the aligners as prescribed by the practitioner to move their teeth as intended (final position). The results of this performance testing are accepted according to acceptance criteria and do not raise any additional concerns.
Conclusions
iSMILE Aligners 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 primary predicate device, Invisalign System.
The conclusions drawn from the data included in this submission, demonstrates that the iSMILE Aligner is substantially equivalent to the primary predicate devices cleared under premarket notification K081960 (Primary Predicate Device) in indications for use, design, technological characteristics, mechanism of action, performance, materials and biocompatibility.
