OrthoFX has launched NiTime clear aligners, the first aligner system designed for shorter wear time that is cleared by the FDA.
The aligners are designed to be worn nine to 12 hours each day, which is much less than the average 22 hours required by other aligner brands, according to a May 1 news release.
NiTime Aligners are made using HyperElastic polymer material, which allows for predictable tooth movement.
The aligner system was available to a limited group of orthodontic practices in 2023 and is now available across the U.S. for orthodontists, the release said.
