## Indications for Use:
AcceleDent® Optima is intended for use during orthodontic treatment. It is used in conjunction with brackets and wires or aligners and helps facilitate minor anterior tooth movement.
#### Device Description:
The AcceleDent® Optima is an orthodontic accessory for the treatment of tooth malocclusion. AcceleDent® Optima should be used by patients for twenty minutes per day in conjunction with standard orthodontic treatment.
This Premarket Notification (510(k)) is being submitted because the legally marketed OrthoAccel Technologies, Inc. device AcceleDent® Aura has been modified. Although the technological characteristics of the device and the indications for use described in our previous 510(k) K153048 remain unchanged, the design, raw material, manufacturing processes and related software have changed, resulting in the creation of the AcceleDent® Optima device.
#### Software:

Image /page/4/Picture/0 description: The image shows the logo for OrthoAccel. The logo features the word "Ortho" in blue, with three curved lines above it, resembling sound waves. To the right of "Ortho" is "-Accel" in gray, with a small registered trademark symbol next to it. The logo is simple and modern, using a clean font and a two-tone color scheme.
The changes in software within the AcceleDent® Optima device allows for wireless transfer of data confirmed by Bluetooth and FCC testing, with a Moderate Level of Concern as determined by the risk assessment. The changes neither affect the mechanism of which the force is applied, nor the indications for use.
## Material Characteristics:
Changes have been made to both the material of the activator and the mouthpiece for the AcceleDent® Optima, although they are both still Elastomers as used in the AcceleDent® Aura. Verification testing and risk evaluation has deemed these updated materials as low risk to the user.
## Manufacturing Process:
There have been some changes made to the manufacturing processes in the AcceleDent® Optima device. Unlike AcceleDent® Aura, AcceleDent® Optima Activator is waterproof and thus requires ultrasonic welding to maintain the required IP rating. Additionally, assembly processes have been modified to accommodate the new design and the addition of the Charging Case. However, all major internal device components are relatively the same – PCB assembly, battery (although a NiMH rather than a lithium battery is used), and motor with off-set weight.
## Performance Data Table:
The table below lists all performance testing performed on the AcceleDent® Optima to ensure its safety and efficacy.
