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." the treating doctor believes the treatment aggravated the condition and does not attribute the event to pre-existing factors.Align's clinical review of available records, an x-ray was taken, which does show severe bone loss surrounding the tooth.No conclusive evidence has been provided that supports or opposes whether the invisalign system aligners caused or contributed to the tooth loss (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.
