The Illusion Aligners indicated for use in the alignment of permanent teeth (i.e. all second molars) through orthodontic treatment of misalignment and malocclusion.
Device Story
Illusion Aligners are intraoral thermoformed PETG plastic trays used for orthodontic tooth movement. Process: 1) Obtain patient dentition via oral scan or physical impression; 2) Import data into dental CAD/CAM software to plan sequential tooth movement; 3) Doctor reviews and approves treatment plan; 4) 3D print models of each treatment step; 5) Thermoform PETG aligners over 3D-printed models. Aligners are worn by the patient at least 22 hours/day, removed for eating/cleaning. Each tray exerts gentle, continuous force to move teeth toward the final position defined in the plan. Used in clinical settings under the direction of a dental practitioner. Benefits include progressive correction of malocclusion.
Clinical Evidence
No clinical data provided. Substantial equivalence is supported by bench testing, including biocompatibility (ISO 10993-5, ISO 10993-10) and physical property testing (ASTM D638, ASTM D570).
Technological Characteristics
Material: PETG (Polyethylene terephthalate glycol). Physical properties tested per ASTM D638 (tensile/elongation) and ASTM D570 (water absorption). Manufacturing: 3D printing of models followed by thermoforming. Software: 3Shape CAD/CAM for treatment planning. Biocompatibility: ISO 10993 compliant.
Indications for Use
Indicated for alignment of permanent teeth (including second molars) in patients requiring orthodontic treatment for misalignment and malocclusion.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

| Statement of<br>Indications<br>for Use | The Illusion Aligners indicated for use in the alignment of permanent<br>teeth (i.e. all second molars) through orthodontic treatment of<br>misalignment and malocclusion. |
| Device Description<br>and Summary of<br>Technological<br>Characteristics | Illusion Aligners are intraoral thermoformed plastic aligners that are<br>worn at least 22 hours per day and are designed to be used in a<br>sequence, each aligner providing a gentle continuous force, to<br>allow for the movement of teeth to the final desired position. The<br>aligners are to be removed for eating and for cleaning. Illusion<br>Aligners are fabricated using a ten-step process.<br><br>The Step 1 is to obtain the dimensions and details of the patient's<br>baseline dentition. This is generally done using an oral scan data or<br>a physical impression. Step 3, the scanned data (digital CAD/CAM<br>models or patient models) are imported into specialized dental<br>software for treatment planning. In the Step 3, Laxmi Dental<br>Exports Pvt Ltd, Inc. utilizes a software application to plan the<br>treatment by creating a series of sequential models that gradually<br>position the teeth into their final desired position. Step 4, the<br>treatment plan is sent to the doctor for approval. Upon approval, a<br>3D printer is used to create the molds needed for each treatment<br>step to provide the surface around which the aligner is<br>thermoformed. Step 5 is the printing of 3D models of the treatment<br>plan for use in Step 7 thermoforming. The thermoforming process<br>is accomplished using a standard thermoforming equipment and<br>the appropriate material as outlined in this submission. |
| Mechanism of Action | In the same manner as the predicate device, each aligner<br>exerts gentle force to achieve progressive realignment of the<br>teeth until the final correction has been attained. This is based<br>on the treatment plan and proceeds over time. |
| Device Testing | Biocompatibility<br>Contact of the device to the patient's oral tissue requires the<br>Aligners material to be biocompatible. The thermoplastic PETG<br>(Polyethylene terephthalate glycol) material has been tested<br>according to Good Laboratory Practices for its biocompatibility<br>according to ISO 10993, as follows:<br>Part 5 (Cytotoxicity Elution - MEM)<br>Part 10 (Skin Irritation)<br>Part 10 (Guinea Pig Maximization Test) |
| | Animal Human Testing<br>No human testing is required for this product because it is<br>composed of the same materials and has a similar design and<br>method of manufacture/fabrication in comparison to the<br>predicate device. |
| Non-Clinical Physical<br>Properties Testing: | Device material tested to the following standards and meet the acceptance<br>criteria<br>• Elongation @ Yield (%) ASTM D638<br>• Elongation @ Break (%) ASTM D638<br>• Tensile @ Yield (PSI) ASTM D638<br>• Tensile Strength (PSI) ASTM D638<br>• Tensile Modulus (PSI) ASTM D638<br>• Water Absorption (%)24 hours @ 23°C ASTM D570 |

The intended use of the Illusion Aligners is the same to that of the primary predicate device as they are both intended for correcting dental malocclusion in patients with permanent dentition. It has a similar technological principle, and the device characteristics are similar to the predicate device. The mode of operation and the manufacturing process used to fabricate the aligner trays is the same as the predicate device. There are minor differences comparing Illusion Aligners to the predicate Smylio Invisible Clear Aligners which do not affect substantial equivalence or safety and effectiveness.
### Substantial Equivalence Conclusion
Thus, based on the above it can be concluded that Illusion Aligners is substantially equivalent to the predicate device.
