The Aerodentis System is indicated for use in movement and alignment of teeth during orthodontic treatment of malocclusion.
Device Story
Aerodentis System moves teeth via pulsatile mechanical force; intended for nighttime use (8-14 hours/day). System comprises custom-made, latex-free plastic dental mouthpiece and Personal Treatment Controller (PTC). PTC delivers compressed air to mouthpiece balloon via polyurethane tube; inflation provides pressure to malpositioned teeth. Used by patients at home under dental practitioner prescription. Practitioner uses software to develop patient-specific treatment plan and control delivery. Output is physical tooth movement; allows patient to remain appliance-free during daytime hours. Benefits include effective alignment with reduced daily wear time compared to constant-force aligners.
Clinical Evidence
Single-center controlled trial (n=43; 28 Aerodentis, 15 Invisalign). Primary endpoint: Little's Irregularity Index (LII) ≤ 1.5. Results: All subjects completing treatment achieved LII ≤ 1.5. No adverse events or clinically significant root resorption reported. Aerodentis demonstrated statistically significantly higher rates of tooth movement when normalized for actual hours of device use.
Technological Characteristics
System includes custom latex-free plastic mouthpiece and PTC. Operates via pneumatic inflation of an internal balloon to apply pulsatile mechanical force. Materials tested per ISO 10993-3, -5, and -10. Electrical safety per IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-1-11. Software-controlled treatment delivery.
Indications for Use
Indicated for movement and alignment of permanent teeth in adults and pediatric patients with full permanent dentition. Suitable for Class 1 and 2 malocclusions, including crowding, proclination, retroclination, tipping, uprighting of anterior teeth, and rotation of incisors.
Regulatory Classification
Identification

hours per day (typically at night). The device is suitable for patients with full complement of permanent teeth in need of upper, lower or combined jaw treatments.
The system is composed of two primary components:
- . A custom-made, latex-free, plastic dental mouthpiece is inserted and worn by the patient according to a customized treatment prescription specified by the dental practitioner.
- . The Personal Treatment Controller (PTC), which provides compressed air to the mouthpiece via a polyurethane tube

## Performance Data:
The following testing was performed to establish equivalence:
- . Balloon leak and fatigue testing
- Aerodentis System force analysis .
- . FEA to support use life
- . Biocompatibility testing per ISO 10993-3, -5 and -10
- . Software validation per FDA guidance
- IEC 60601-1, IEC 60601-1-2, and IEC 60601-1-11 testing
A single center, controlled, clinical trial was conducted comparing the investigational Aerodentis System to the Invisalign control. 28 subjects were enrolled in the investigational arm and 15 in the control. 7 subjects dropped from the study (5 from the investigational arm, and 2 from the control). Subjects were followed until the average score of the mandibular and maxillary teeth achieved a Little's Irregularity Index (LII) of 1.5 or less or until 15 months of treatment, whichever came first. Safety was assessed by recording adverse events and radiographic assessment of root resorption. Efficacy was assessed by achieving an average LII score of 1.5 or less.
There were no adverse events reported throughout the study for either treatment arm. In addition, no clinically significant root resorption was observed for either group. Thus, both devices have excellent safety profiles. All subjects that completed treatment achieved an average LII score of 1.5 or less. While the time to treatment until success was longer for the subject device, once accounting for actual hours of device use, the Aerodentis System provided statistically significantly higher rates of tooth movement. This allows the user to achieve tooth alignment while being free of all appliances during normal working hours.
# Conclusion:
The Aerodentis System is substantially equivalent to the Invisalign System.
