Indications for Use
The Carriere Motion Clear Class II orthodontic appliance is intended to provide orthodontic movement and alignment of teeth during orthodontic treatment for Class II cases with symmetrical and asymmetrical malocclusions and Class I cases with mesially positioned maxillary molars.
Device Story
Carriere Motion Clear Class II is a direct-bond, two-piece orthodontic appliance for correcting posterior occlusion to Class I. Device consists of a polyethersulfone anterior pad/arm and a 17-4 stainless steel posterior pad connected via a ball-and-socket joint. Used by dental professionals in clinical settings; bonded to maxillary canine/premolar and molar teeth using orthodontic adhesive. Integrated hook allows attachment of patient-worn elastics to lower molars. Mechanism involves distalization of posterior segments and rotation/uprighting of molars. Ball-and-socket joint includes stops to prevent over-rotation or tipping. Output is physical tooth movement driven by elastic force vectors. Benefits include predictable, uniform posterior segment movement. Device is intended for use at the start of treatment when no competing forces are present.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence supported by bench testing, including biocompatibility (cytotoxicity, sensitization, irritation, toxicological risk assessment) and bond strength testing compared to predicate and reference devices.
Technological Characteristics
Two-piece orthodontic appliance; materials: polyethersulfone (anterior pad/arm) and 17-4 stainless steel (posterior pad). Ball-and-socket joint mechanism with built-in rotation/tipping stops. Bonded to teeth using orthodontic adhesive. Translucent aesthetic design. Color-coded for identification.
Indications for Use
Indicated for orthodontic movement and alignment of teeth in patients with Class II symmetrical/asymmetrical malocclusions or Class I cases with mesially positioned maxillary molars.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
An orthodontic plastic bracket is a plastic device intended to be bonded to a tooth to apply pressure to a tooth from a flexible orthodontic wire to alter its position.

Dear Colleen Boswell:
We have reviewed your Section 510(k) premarket notification of intent to market the device referenced above and have determined the device is substantially equivalent (for the indications for use stated in the enclosure) to legally marketed predicate devices marketed in interstate commerce prior to May 28, 1976, the enactment date of the Medical Device Amendments, or to devices that have been reclassified in accordance with the provisions of the Federal Food. Drug, and Cosmetic Act (Act) that do not require approval of a premarket approval application (PMA). You may, therefore, market the device, subject to the general controls provisions of the Act. The general controls provisions of the Act include requirements for annual registration, listing of devices. good manufacturing practice, labeling, and prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration. Please note: CDRH does not evaluate information related to contract liability warranties. We remind you, however, that device labeling must be truthful and not misleading.
If your device is classified (see above) into either class II (Special Controls) or class III (PMA), it may be subject to additional controls. Existing major regulations affecting your device can be found in the Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21, Parts 800 to 898. In addition, FDA may publish further announcements concerning your device in the Federal Register.
Please be advised that FDA's issuance of a substantial equivalence determination does not mean that FDA has made a determination that your device complies with other requirements of the Act or any Federal statutes and regulations administered by other Federal agencies.

#### 4. Device Description
The Carriere Motion Clear Class II is a direct bond, esthetic, orthodontic appliance that attaches the maxillary canine or premolar to molar to provide a treatment solution for patients with malocclusions of primary, permanent or mixed dentition. The orthodontic appliance is a two-piece design comprised of an integrated polyethersulfone, a clear thermoplastic, anterior pad and rigid arm that connects to a 17-4 stainless steel posterior pad in a "ball and socket" relationship. The orthodontic appliance is intended to be used at the beginning of orthodontic treatment when there are no competing forces in the mouth. The device allows the distalization of the posterior segments.
The Carriere Motion Clear Class II corrects the posterior occlusion to a Class I platform first by rotating and uprighting the maxillary molars while distalizing the posterior segment, from canine or
{4}------------------------------------------------
premolar to molars. The orthodontic appliance independently moves each posterior segment, from canine or premolar to molar, as a unit. The anterior pad includes an integrated hook which allows for the attachment of elastics to the lower molars. The posterior pad bonds to the facial surface of the teeth and is made of 17-4 stainless steel. The pad serves as the socket in the ball and socket relationship with the plastic arm. The ball and socket has built-in stops that allow the molars to move directly to their desired position and are intended to prevent any unwanted over rotation or tipping.
The Carriere Motion Clear Class II's application and removal is similar to that of a plastic orthodontic bracket. It requires orthodontic adhesive for bonding and standard orthodontic tools and techniques for debonding.
- 5. Statement of Intended Use:
The Carriere Motion Clear Class II orthodontic appliance is intended to provide orthodontic movement and alignment of teeth during orthodontic treatment for Class II cases with symmetrical and asymmetrical malocclusions and Class I cases with mesially positioned maxillary molars.
- 6. Summary of Technological Characteristics with the Predicate Devices
The technological characteristics of the proposed Carriere Motion Clear Class II are very similar to the predicate device, Carriere Motion Class II (Class I, 510(k) Exempt) and the reference device, Composite Brackets (K140807). There are no substantial or functional differences between the Carriere Motion Clear Class II appliance and the predicate and reference devices in terms of design, function, biocompatibility and intended use. See Table 1 below for technological characteristics and comparisons of the orthodontic appliances.

#### 7. Performance Data
#### Biocompatibility Testing
The biocompatibility evaluation for the Carriere Motion Clear Class II orthodontic appliance was conducted in accordance with the FDA Blue Book Memorandum #G95-1 "Use of International Standard ISO-10993, Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices Part 1: Evaluation and Testing," May 1, 1995 and International Standard ISO 10993-1 "Biological Evaluation of Medical Devices - Part 1: Evaluation and Testing Within a Risk Management Process" as recognized by FDA. The biocompatibility testing included the following tests:
- 1. Cytotoxicity
- 2. Sensitization
- 3. Irritation
- 4. Chemical Characterization Study (Toxicological Risk Assessment)
{7}------------------------------------------------
#### Bond Strength Testing
Bond strength testing was performed on the Carriere Motion Clear Class II orthodontic appliance and compared to the primary predicate and reference devices and was substantially equivalent to these devices.
#### Clinical Studies
No human clinical testing was conducted to support substantial equivalence.
#### 8. Conclusion as to Substantial Equivalence
The similarities in design, function, safety and intended use of the Carriere Motion Clear Class II orthodontic appliance with the legally marketed predicate device, Carriere Motion Class II (Class I, 510(k) Exempt) and reference device, Composite Brackets (K140807), support substantial equivalence.
