FDA Clears OrthoFX NiTime Aligners

OrthoFX has announced the FDA clearance of the company’s NiTime Aligners. The aligner system is explicitly designed for overnight wear.

The OrthoFX system reduces daily wear time to 9–12 hours without increasing the number of stages in the treatment. The hyperelastic polymer of the aligners maintains biologically favored force levels, which allows predictable tooth movement with less wear time. Also, the aligners’ multishell construction delivers optimal forces and a broad fit range to compensate for daytime movements.
