— New Features in Release 11 Combined with Expanded Indication for Mixed Dentition\u00a0<\/b> to Treat Kids and Teens is a Home Run for Doctors —<\/b><\/p>\n
BREA, Calif., June 16, 2021 \/PRNewswire\/ — Ormco Corporation<\/a>, a global leader of orthodontic solutions, today announced it has received FDA clearance to treat mixed dentition with its Spark\u2122 Clear Aligner System, enabling orthodontists to treat younger patients. The clearance by the FDA makes Spark Clear Aligners one of a few doctor-directed aligners cleared in the U.S. for the treatment of younger patients. The robust Release 11 features new innovations and an improved user experience including new anatomical beveled attachments for patient comfort, redesigned bite ramps that enable doctors to customize for each specific tooth type to enhance engagement between the bite ramps and the teeth and downloadable STL files to offer doctors in-office solutions.<\/p>\n “With more than 75 percent of orthodontic case starts each year being kids and teens, we are excited that we can now enable doctors to offer the same innovative benefits of Spark treatment to younger patients,” said Eric Conley, President of Spark Clear Aligners and Digital Orthodontics. “We are also confident the advancements of this new release will solidify Spark as the aligner of choice for orthodontists seeking great clinical outcomes and providing industry leading comfort and clarity for their patients.”<\/p>\n Release 11 Key Features Enable Improved Clinical Outcomes, More Predictable and Efficient Treatment Planning & Greater Patient Comfort<\/b><\/p>\n “This enhances the product’s appeal to the patient. You already have the best-performing plastic, clearest plastic, most stain-resistant plastic, and more comfortable edges on the market. Now, Ormco has enhanced the attachment comfort; you have the whole package,” said Dr. Bill Dischinger**.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n “Deep bite cases are known for their difficulty. Paralleled bite ramps will offer more predictable intrusive movement as they direct the force down the long axis of the tooth and will create less undesired tipping and friction points within the aligner leading to more efficient and predictable intrusion,” said Dr. Trevor Nichols**.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n “<\/b>This is a significant step to creating a Phase I\/Phase II aligner approach to cases. Not only will Approver software enable doctors to better treat interceptive cases, but eruption guides will help control the eruption of the permanent dentition,” said Dr. Trevor Nichols**.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n “With the ability to print the starter aligners, doctors can get a jump start on their cases and increase their case load and profitability. The last stage aligner allows the doctor and patient to have final models to use for retention for years to come,” said Dr. Trevor Nichols. Dr. Nicole Scheffler** added, “This really is a game-changer for patients, doctors and treatment coordinators.”<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n Spark Approver Software Enhancements<\/b><\/p>\n Spark Release 11 includes the following Approver software enhancements:<\/p>\n Enhancements for Easier Case Management<\/b><\/p>\n For more information on the Spark Aligner product and software enhancements, please visit ormco.com\/Spark.<\/a><\/p>\n About the Spark<\/b> \u2122 Clear Aligner System<\/b><\/p>\n Spark\u2122 Aligners are manufactured by Ormco\u2122, a global leader in innovative orthodontics products, with 60 years of orthodontics expertise, R&D and high manufacturing standards.
