Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance (AGGA) Resource Bookmarks

This is a list of resources I found helpful when evaluating whether the Anterior Growth Guidance Appliance (AGGA) was the best palate expansion option for expanding my airway and potentially curing my obstructive sleep apnea.

I rated AGGA high risk in my comparison of maxillary expansion options to treat my obstructive sleep apnea, and since then I’ve heard of many failed cases and a couple of lawsuits, so beware.
