The Nuvola® device is a doctor-prescribed series of removable plastic orthodontic aligners intended as an alternative toconventional wire and bracket technology. The Nuvola® gently moves teeth in small increments from their original stateto a final, treated state for improved dental alignment. The system is used in patients with primary, mixed, andpermanent dentition. The system consists of a series of doctor prescribed and customized plastic aligners(thermoformed PET-G sheeting material) that gently move the patient’s teeth in small increments from their originalstate to a more optimal, treated state to address malocclusion. The first device of the treatment matches the patient’sdentition in its current state and then each subsequent aligner stage has the shape of the dentition shifted graduallytoward the final desired position.
A custom-made orthodontic appliance, typically supplied in series intended to be worn in succession and self-changed every few weeks, designed to influence the shape and/or function of the stomatognathic system to correct malocclusions (e.g., underbites, overbites, cross bites, open bites, crooked teeth) and/or other cosmetic and/or structural flaws of teeth and/or jaws. Also described as sequential or successive, the device is custom-made based on an oral impression, self-removable, and is typically made of clear/transparent synthetic polymers (e.g., a thermoformed polycarbonate); a post-treatment orthodontic retainer/positioner may be included with the device. This is a reusable device.
