Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: 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.
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.
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.
Experimental: 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.
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.
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.
Experimental: F-OP2.0
Patients receive fixed appliance orthodontic treatment by the qualified Principal Investigator (PI). Patients receive OrthoPulse 2.0 device.
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.
