The Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance (AGGA) is a dental device bonded to the upper palate designed to stimulate forward maxillary growth by applying pressure to the incisive papilla. It has a dedicated following in orthotropics and looksmaxxing communities who report forward facial growth results. WARNING: AGGA has been the subject of multiple lawsuits and a major investigative report by CBS News documenting patients who suffered severe dental damage — root resorption, tooth loss, and irreversible bone changes. The mechanism of action is disputed by most orthodontists. Only consider this under the care of an extremely experienced provider, with full understanding of documented legal and medical complaints.

Lost two teeth to root resorption. My orthodontist spent a year repairing the damage. Research the CBS investigation before touching this.

Some providers claim good outcomes. The risk profile is very real though — get multiple specialist opinions and read every available lawsuit before proceeding.
