FDA has cleared an Align Technology 510(k) for the Invisalign treatment with mandibular advancement, a clear aligner solution for Class 2 teeth alignment correction in tween and teen patients. The device is designed to move the lower jaw forward while simultaneously aligning the teeth. It is intended to replicate the action of commonly used functional appliances for Class II correction through new “precision wings which hold the mandible in a forward position, while simultaneously correcting malocclusion and crowding issues,” the company says. “Traditionally, doctors often correct the mandible position and straighten the teeth in separate phases, resulting in a longer overall treatment time,” it says.
