K143499 is an FDA 510(k) clearance for the eCligner. Classified as Aligner, Sequential (product code NXC), Class II - Special Controls.

Submitted by Eclear International Co., Ltd. (Seoul, KR). The FDA issued a Cleared decision on October 9, 2015 after a review of 303 days - an unusually long review period, suggesting complex equivalence evaluation.

This device falls under the Dental FDA review panel, regulated under 21 CFR 872.5470 - the FDA dental device regulatory framework. The Traditional 510(k) pathway establishes clearance through substantial equivalence to a legally marketed predicate device, without requiring clinical trial data.
