Indications for Use
CompleClear appliances are intended for use as a clear, plastic bracket and archwire system to provide orthodontic movement of natural teeth.
Device Story
CompleClear is a clear, plastic orthodontic bracket and archwire system. It consists of a two-component polysulfone bracket: a tooth component cemented to the tooth and a wire component pre-attached to a customized orthodontic wire. The wire components are positioned along the wire to create an 'aligner' assembly. When the wire components snap into the tooth components, the wire acts as a spring, applying force to move teeth. The system is used by dental professionals to treat patients. Treatment involves a series of aligners, each designed for a specific amount of tooth movement toward a final goal determined by the provider. The device allows for mesiodistal rotation, labio-lingual inclination, and mesio-distal angulations. The aligner remains secure during function but can be removed by the dentist or patient using a tool.
Clinical Evidence
Bench testing only. Mechanical testing evaluated force application via wire deflection, confirming forces are within the range of other orthodontic systems. Testing confirmed the force required to remove the wire or snap the aligner from the brackets is significantly higher than the orthodontic forces applied to the teeth. Shear bond strength testing of brackets adhered to teeth showed no statistical difference compared to the predicate device. Biocompatibility testing met requirements of ISO 10993-3:2014, ISO 10993-5:2009, ISO 10993-10:2010, and ISO 10993-11:2006.
Technological Characteristics
Bracket material: polysulfone. Archwire material: glass fibers with polysulfone coating. System consists of a two-component interlocking bracket assembly (tooth component and wire component). Manufacturing: molded and thermoformed. Biocompatibility: ISO 10993 compliant. Connectivity: none (mechanical system).
Indications for Use
Indicated for orthodontic movement of natural teeth in patients requiring orthodontic treatment.
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.

Name of device: CompleClear Plastic Orthodontic Bracket and Wire Appliance Classification Name: orthodontic plastic bracket and wire CFR: 21 CFR 872.5470 and 872.5410 Product Code: DYW and DZC Classification: II and I
Device Description: CompleClear Plastic Orthodontic Bracket and Wire Appliance is an orthodontic appliance consisting of a polysulfone bracket with two separate components (tooth component and wire component) and an orthodontic wire pre-attached to the wire component of the bracket. The tooth and the wire components are capable of mechanically interlocking to form a detachable and reattachable bracket assembly. The tooth component of the bracket is cemented to the tooth, like regular orthodontic brackets. The wire components are pre-attached at specific positions along the orthodontic wire. The orthodontic wire is customized for each patient by creating various bends and rotations along the wire. This configuration of the customized wire, results in a specific position and orientation of the wire components of the bracket system along the customized wire. This customized orthodontic wire along with the series of pre-attached wire components constitutes the 'aligner'. When the wire components of the 'aligner' are engaged on to the corresponding tooth component cemented on the tooth, the orthodontic wire is activated like a spring. The tooth is gently moved to its desired position due to the elastic recoil of the wire.
The two component bracket assembly of the present device allows moment arms for mesiodistal rotation, labio-lingual inclination and mesio-distal angulations (tip) similar to conventional bracket-wire used in orthodontics.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The treatment uses a series of aligners, each incorporating a predefined amount to tooth movement toward the final desired end goal. The amount of tooth movement incorporated, the type of tooth movement incorporated and the final desired end goal are all determined and approved by the provider.
Indications for Use: CompleClear appliances are intended for use as a clear, plastic bracket and archwire system to provide orthodontic movement of natural teeth.

Physical testing: Mechanical testing showed the force which could be applied by deflection of the wire was within the range of other orthodontic forces. The force required to break the melt and remove the wire from the bracket was significantly higher than the force which could be applied by the wire. The force necessary to snap the aligner away from the cemented brackets was also significantly higher than the orthodontic forces applied to the teeth. This ensures integrity of the aligner during function and also that aligner does not detach until the dentist or patient intends to remove it. A tool is normally used to remove the aligner. Since the wire in the aligner acts more like a spring friction testing was not appropriate.
Shear bond strength testing of the brackets adhered to teeth was carried out on both CompleClear and Ortho Specialties' brackets. There was no statistical difference in them.
Conclusion: The CompleClear Plastic Orthodontic Bracket and Wire Appliance is substantially equivalent to the Composite Brackets (K140807) and the SimpliClear rectangular orthodontic wire (K110796) in manufacturing, materials, biocompatibility, applications for use and shear bond strength.
