Just swinging by here to see if anyone has managed to get their hands on this meta study that was supposed to be spearheaded by Bromage? (@SUGR1)?

You’re welcome. These are just my thoughts, so please don’t sub for med advice. In those circumstances you describe RAGGA/FAGGA may or may not be nece…

The correct question you should be asking is WHY is the lower jaw recessed. Lower jaw recession can be caused by an under developed maxilla so that ma…

You’ll need specific advice from a practitioner who specialises in either treatment. For FAGGA, you should ask the dentists in the TMJ facebook group …

I had a septoplasty and UPPP, and then got even more space with AGGA so I wouldn’t start regretting your previous surgery – it all helps! Particularly…

Glad to hear there is an ortho up to speed and on board with orthotropics. FWIW, I know LVI (who train in AGGA device) have a strict ‘we don’t claim t…

I recommend you read my earlier posts on this thread. I have not noticed any lengthening.

Prices have increased since I started treatment with her some time ago, and I know she charges depending on what treatment you need (sleep appliance, …

Why downward? The way AGGA treatment is done also encourages remodelling of the mandible to keep up with the maxilla’s changes.

That’s not necessarily as bad as it seems. Braces are typically (in $AUD) 6-10k here, a custom dental appliance is usually 2-4k, and about the same fo…

Couldn’t agree more. There are so many posts on this forum about the negative long term effects of extractions, please search for them. Personally, I’…

Uneven growth seems to be the norm for this kind of treatment, and I’d say it’s multifactorial. If no growth starts on that side after a few more week…

@Beeautiful I think it came from this TMJ/LVI Facebook group which you can join:

Hey Eddie, Out of curiosity, where is the line drawn between proclined incisors and flaring as seen in FAGGA? Is there a golden angle that should be a…

Ok, first of all calm down. Secondly, I read the material in the OP. There was scant discussion about the design of the face mask itself, let alone a …

yeah, I’m still waiting for this.

@zosogg thanks for the clarification. This ‘pulling’ on the midline suture after it’s been pried open sounds painful… The above links do not picture…

Complete ignorance here; how is this different to palatal expanders that a number of children get with orthodontics? Or is it the ‘faecmask’ that make…

Yep. This. 👍

Hey @starJammer and @minniesinatra how are you going with your treatment?

Great results and a huge improvement, but still a lot to go. I’d be interested to see if they put a second AGGA on him. Have a look at that neck postu…

Without trying to be unkind and having read a number of your posts, I think you’re in the wrong forum and/or you need a healthy reassessment of the pr…

Hey @SUGR1, do you use the FRLA or the CA archwires themselves to drive the lateral expansion? Cheers

Thank you! V. helpful.

Thanks Apollo. Would you say this is what dentists/orthodontists are trained to line up with?

DON’T GET EXTRACTIONS!!! As someone currently spending a lot of time, pain and money to reverse unnecessary extractions, please please please don’t ex…

Is it always preferable/worthwhile retaining wisdom teeth? I’m having trouble with one of mine and wondering if I should just get it removed or put up…

Do you know which practitioner(s) is doing the meta study?

Those new masseters of his are something else!

I’m all about this; thanks for sharing. Please keep us updated with any inside info you have. What’s your view about implants vs. space closure with o…

Awesome, thanks so much. Here’s the x-ray! 37367110_859227564472_2544496612227416064_o-1.jpg
