Manufacturer Narrative

A review of case #(b)(4) shows the patient has been in treatment since (b)(6) 2018 with 4 revision being requested.Revision submitted on (b)(6) 2018: rx states the patient is not tracking and to continue with the original prescription.Revision submitted on (b)(6) 2019: rx states: move lr2 labially and lr3 lingually, with ipr.Move ur3 palatially so that it is the same as the ul3.Rotate the ur2.Revision submitted on (b)(6) 2019: upper only refine (b)(6) 2020: upper first bicuspids need to be uprighted/tipped out.Ur4 needs to be rotated buccal medially.Ul3 needs the mesial rotated out.Lr3 needs the mesial rotated in.Ll3 needs the mesial rotated out.Please also distal root tip ur1 just a little thanks!!! all digital scans received shows no errors.All protocols were followed based on qms-ccrr-000133 - clearcut software.Unable to determine the cause of the pain the patient is experiencing.Patient has been requesting a doctor transfer since (b)(6) 2020.Clinical evaluation: there is insufficient information for detailed assessment regarding the complaint.It appears that the patient has been in orthodontic treatment with aligners since (b)(6) 2018 during which time no pain was reported.The revisions requested from december of 2018 through to august of 2020 were largely limited to individual tooth movements.The primary complaint at this time is "pain and cannot move part of her jaw." with the limited information provided no cause and effect or other association can be made between the aligners and the primary complaint.Given the history of aligner wear without issue and the relatively recent complaint, it is most likely an unrelated coincidental event.A recommendation is for the patient to consult a tmj specialist for a thorough examination and management.Possible options are to remain in the current aligner step while the tmj issues are resolved or complete cessation of aligner treatment at the current step and retention.
