Brief summary

To demonstrate that growing teenagers which present up to full cusp Class II malocclusions can be treated using the Invisalign System.

Detailed description

The Invisalign® System consists of a series of clear plastic aligners that are intended to replace conventional wire and bracket technology for many orthodontic cases. Each custom manufactured aligner exerts gentle, continuous forces to move teeth incrementally from their original state to a final, treated state. Each aligner is worn for about two weeks, then replaced by the next in the series until the final position is achieved. For years, orthodontists and dentists have used removable appliances for orthodontic treatment. Today, with the application of computer technology and custom manufacturing, Invisalign treats a broader range of cases with greater precision.

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of Tooth Movement at the End of Class II Correction.End of Class II Correction up to 18 monthsThe primary objective will be met through demonstrating that the velocity of Invisalign with MRF overjet correction is non-inferior to the published rates of Dynamax (0.42mm/month).

MeasureTime frameDescription
Length of Treatment TimeEnd of Treatment approximately 2 yearsThis is the total treatment length of time that subjects took (in days) to complete Invisalign system treatment
Patient Quality of Life Questionnaire Throughout TreatmentEnd of Treatment approximately 2 yearsAs part of the secondary objective, subject perception was assessed through analysis of case report forms. Case report form analysis of the Quality of Life forms was conducted from the subjects in both the Clinical Study and Continued Access Clinical Study. Subjects were asked to rate their orthodontic experience throughout the course of the study, with options 1(very difficult), 2 (difficult), 3 (average), 4 (easy), and 5 (very easy) as the ratings.
Doctor Survey for Satisfaction With Treatment OutcomesEnd of Treatment approximately 2 yearsDoctors filled out a Doctor Survey with a scale rating of 1 (very difficult) to 5 (very easy) on how easy the product was to use and their satisfaction with the product. A higher score on the scale meant a better satisfaction experience .

Outcome results

Primary

Rate of Tooth Movement at the End of Class II Correction.

The primary objective will be met through demonstrating that the velocity of Invisalign with MRF overjet correction is non-inferior to the published rates of Dynamax (0.42mm/month).

Time frame: End of Class II Correction up to 18 months

Population: 1\. The Continued Access study was created to be able to offer additional Invisalign with Mandibular Advancement to doctors in the Clinical Study after recruitment had completed. The data has been combined for the primary and secondary objectives for pooling and analysis of the data. The data has been provided to FDA to support the IDE and has been 510K cleared for this device.

Doctors filled out a Doctor Survey with a scale rating of 1 (very difficult) to 5 (very easy) on how easy the product was to use and their satisfaction with the product. A higher score on the scale meant a better satisfaction experience .

Time frame: End of Treatment approximately 2 years

Population: The average rating of doctor satisfaction with the subject's treatment outcomes, on a scale of 1 (unsatisfied) to 5 (satisfied).

As part of the secondary objective, subject perception was assessed through analysis of case report forms.

Subjects were asked to rate their orthodontic experience throughout the course of the study, with options 1(very difficult), 2 (difficult), 3 (average), 4 (easy), and 5 (very easy) as the ratings.

Time frame: End of Treatment approximately 2 years

Population: The number of participants analyzed in each row is different due to withdrawal and lost to follow up subjects being removed from the study.
