FDA Clearance Combines Invisalign With Mandibular Advancement

The FDA has given 510(k) clearance to Align Technology’s Invisalign treatment with mandibular advancement, allowing the two technologies to be used together.

The agency’s clearance allows the clear-aligner treatment to be used with mandibular advancement to simultaneously reposition the jaw and align the teeth of teenage patients aged 12 to 13.

Invisalign treatment combined with mandibular advancement can replace Class II elastics and appliances and reduce costs and time for adjustments and repairs.
