Class II Correction Study Using the Invisalign System

Align Technology, Inc.164 enrolled

Overview

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

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.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

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

Secondary Outcomes

Length of Treatment Time

This is the total treatment length of time that subjects took (in days) to complete Invisalign system treatment

Time frame: End of Treatment approximately 2 years

Patient Quality of Life Questionnaire Throughout Treatment

As 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.

Time frame: End of Treatment approximately 2 years

Doctor Survey for Satisfaction With Treatment Outcomes

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
