Study Groups
Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.
I-OP2.0
Patients receive Invisalign orthodontic treatment, with 3.5 day Aligner changes, by the qualified Principal Investigator (PI). Patients receive OrthoPulse 2.0 device.
OrthoPulse 2.0
Patients are given OrthoPulse 2.0, an extended OrthoPulse device with no zone control (ability for doctor to control treatment regions). Patients complete 10 minute treatments (5 minutes each arch) every day.
Invisalign 3.5 Day Wear
Patients are are fitted with sets of clear orthodontic Aligners by a qualified Principal Investigator (PI) using a ClinCheck plan by Align Technology. Aligners are worn for approximately 22 hours a day, and switched every 3.5 days.
I-OP2.1
Patients receive Invisalign orthodontic treatment, with 3.5 day Aligner changes, by the qualified Principal Investigator (PI). Patients receive OrthoPulse 2.1 device.
OrthoPulse 2.1
Patients are given OrthoPulse 2.1, an extended OrthoPulse device with zone control (ability for doctor to control treatment regions). Patients complete 10 minute treatments (5 minutes each arch) every day.
Invisalign 3.5 Day Wear
Patients are are fitted with sets of clear orthodontic Aligners by a qualified Principal Investigator (PI) using a ClinCheck plan by Align Technology. Aligners are worn for approximately 22 hours a day, and switched every 3.5 days.
F-OP2.0
Patients receive fixed appliance orthodontic treatment by the qualified Principal Investigator (PI). Patients receive OrthoPulse 2.0 device.
OrthoPulse 2.0
Patients are given OrthoPulse 2.0, an extended OrthoPulse device with no zone control (ability for doctor to control treatment regions). Patients complete 10 minute treatments (5 minutes each arch) every day.
Fixed Orthodontic Appliances (Braces)
Patients are fitted with a set of brackets and wires, as per standard orthodontic treatment by a qualified Principal Investigator (PI).
