OrthoFX to Showcase New NiTime Aligners at AAO

OrthoFX's new NiTime Aligner, the first aligner system that is explicitly designed for overnight wear, will be showcased at the American Association of Orthodontists (AAO) Annual Meeting in Chicago, April 21-25, at booth #641.

OrthoFX has announced the U.S Food and Drug Administration (FDA) 510(k)clearance of their NiTime Aligners just ahead of the AAO meeting.

The new aligners will be available starting today to a limited initial group of orthodontic practices, according to the company. For more information, attendees can visit the OrthoFX booth at AAO or visit orthofx.com. OrthoFX will exhibit their full line of proprietary, patented polymer innovations including Rescue and Bright Aligners™ at their booth #641 at AAO.

About NiTime Aligners:

• The first aligner system cleared by the FDA and supported by clinical studies that demonstrate treatment efficacy for reduced duration of wear.
• The first aligner system that reduces daily wear time to 9-12 hours without increasing the number of stages in the treatment.
• The first patented aligner design optimized explicitly for nighttime wear.
• Hyper-elastic polymer maintains biologically favored force levels, allowing predictable tooth movement with less wear time.
• Multi-shell construction delivers optimal forces and a broad fit range to compensate for day-time movements.

Loc Phan, co-founder and VP of Research and Development for OrthoFX, says "Our team of experts has worked tirelessly to create a solution effective for nighttime only wear. The ability to wear the aligners at night while patients sleep—makes the treatment journey much easier. The introduction of NiTime Aligner marks a significant milestone in our commitment to providing unique innovations to our doctors and their patients."
