Invisalign and Clear Aligner Systems In California

July 4, 2008

Red, White & Blue is a retainer system which offers a solution to those patients who want a simple, aesthetic system to correct minor to intermediate tooth alignments without the use of conventional wire and bracket orthodontic technology. The system consists of a series of three, clear lightweight, plastic retainers. Each appliance applies incremental tooth correction by means of repositioning the anterior teeth. In this way, the patient’s teeth will get progressively closer to the desired final state.The dental practitioner will make dental impressions of his patient’s teeth and select the anterior teeth that are to be repositioned. The impressions or a model of the teeth made from the impression is then sent to AOA along with a prescription form.

The teeth selected for treatment are cut from the model and progressively repositioned, After repositioning,AOA will create a corresponding appliance for a total of three active appliances. Depending upon the complexity of the case, it is possible that a patient may require less or more than the series of three appliances. The Red, White & Blue retainers are mailed to the dental practitioner, who in turn, will provide them to their patient with the instructions for use. Intended Use of the Device: The intended use of Red, While & Blue is to correct minor to anterior tooth mal-alignments in patients with permanent dentition (second molars) by moving teeth progressively through the use of three, clear, lightweight, plastic retainers. Substantial Equivalence: Red, White & Blue is substantially equivalent to other legally marketed devices in the United States. Red, White & Blue is used in a manner similar to the Invisalign system marketed by Align Technology.
