Additional Manufacturer Narrative

|
The current instructions for use contains the following: "precautions - a tooth that has been previously traumatized or significantly restored may be aggravated.In rare instances, the useful life of the tooth may be reduced, the tooth may require additional dental treatment such as endodontic and/or additional restorative work, and/or the tooth may be lost." no root cause was provided.Aligns clinical review of the patient's initial full-mouth radiographs revealed that ul7 had a preexisting restoration.A subsequent scan submitted with the second aligner order showed a significant crown fracture of ul7.No conclusive evidence has been provided that supports or opposes whether the invisalign system aligners caused or contributed to the required a tooth extraction (permanent damage) and the invisalign system aligners were being used.Therefore, an mdr is being filed in the united states per 21 cfr 803.There is no conclusive evidence to confirm the date of the required tooth extraction, and the date (b3) is based on the timelines reported to align and compared to patient information.
