There is a new lawsuit involving the promotion and use of a dental device known as the Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance (AGGA). The lawsuit contends that the AGGA, which was marketed as a non-surgical solution for correcting dental, facial, and airway abnormalities, lacks scientific backing and has not been proven safe or effective for adult patients.
The core of the allegations centers on the assertion by the defendants that AGGA could induce substantial alterations in the adult nasomaxillary complex, including advancing the maxilla forward significantly, through mechanical force and bone growth stimulation.
Plaintiffs challenge these claims as unfounded and in direct conflict with established medical understanding, asserting that the device may, in fact, cause harm by displacing upper teeth from their sockets and leading to severe dental and skeletal issues.
