Intended Use

Titan Dental Design is intended for use as a medical front-end device providing tools for management of orthodontic models, systematic inspection, detailed analysis, treatment simulation and virtual appliance design options (Export of Models, Indirect Bonding Transfer Media, Sequential aligners) based on 3D models of the patient's dentition before the start of an orthodontic treatment. It can also be applied during the treatment to inspect and analyze the progress of the treatment. It can be used at the end of the treatment to evaluate if the outcome is consistent with the planned/desired treatment objectives. The use of Titan Dental Design requires the user to have the necessary training and domain knowledge in the practice of orthodontics, as well as to have received a dedicated training in the use of the software.

Device Story

Titan Dental Design is orthodontic treatment planning software; inputs digital 3D dental scans; allows clinicians to manipulate/move teeth to create treatment plans for malocclusion; outputs files for physical production of appliances (e.g., sequential aligners) via 3D printing. Used in clinical settings by orthodontists/dentists; facilitates diagnosis, treatment simulation, and virtual appliance design. Clinicians use output to guide orthodontic therapy and evaluate treatment progress/outcomes. Benefits include improved treatment planning accuracy and streamlined appliance fabrication.

Clinical Evidence

The alteration of indication for use statement to the Predicate Device (3Shape Ortho System, K152086) within this 510(k) submission of the Proposed Device is "intended for use as a medical front-end device providing tools for management of orthodontic models, systematic inspection, detailed analysis, treatment simulation and virtual appliance design options (Custom Metal Bands, Export of Models, Indirect Bonding Transfer Media) based on 3D models of the patient's dentition before the start of an orthodontic treatment". The proposed device, Titan Dental Design, manufactures sequential aligners, rather than Custom Metal Bands like those manufactured by the Predicate Device. However, the secondary Predicate Device's (Brius Planner Software, K212828), indication for use statement matches the indications for use statement of the Proposed Device in that it lists Sequential Aligners as one of its "virtual appliance design options", Based on the similarity of indication for use, the Proposed Device can be considered substantially equivalent to the Predicate Devices. ### Comparison of Technological Characteristics to Predicate Devices: Based on the above comparisons, the design, construction, and performance characteristics of the Proposed Device are similar to that of the Predicate Devices. The differences identified are not substantial differences in operation of the device. Thus, the Proposed Device can be considered substantially equivalent to the Predicate Devices. ### Summary of Performance Data and Substantial Equivalence Utilizing FDA Guidance document "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices" (issued May 11, 2015) the Proposed Device, Titan Dental Design underwent appropriate integration, verification, and validation testing. The software passed the testing and performed per its intended use. ### Conclusion: Based on comparison of indications for use, technological features, performance testing, and software validation testing, the Proposed Device, Titan Dental Design, has been shown to be appropriate for its indications for use and is substantially equivalent to the legally marketed Predicate Devices, 3Shape Ortho System (K152086) and Brius Planning Software (K212828)
