The Clevaligner software is intended for use as a medical device standalone software, providing tools for management of orthodontic models, systematic inspection, detailed analysis, treatment simulation and virtual design of a series of dental casts, which may be used for sequential aligner trays or retainers, based on 3D models of the patient's dentition before the start of an orthodontic treatment. It can also be applied during the treatment to inspect and analyze the progress of the treatment. It can be used at the end of the treatment to evaluate if the outcome is consistent with the planned/desired treatment objectives. The use of Clevaligner Software requires the user to have the necessary training and domain knowledge in the practice of orthodontics, as well to have received a dedicated training in the use of the software.

Indications for use as stated in the FDA summary.
