## Questions

### What was Dror Ortho-Design's core product?

Dror Ortho-Design developed Aerodentis, a medical device that delivered low-amplitude, high-frequency vibrations through a removable mouthpiece. The device aimed to accelerate orthodontic tooth movement by stimulating alveolar bone remodeling. Patients used it for short daily sessions alongside existing braces or clear aligners.

### Does Dror Ortho-Design still operate in orthodontics?

No. In July 2019 the company acquired a controlling interest in an Israeli mobile-gaming studio and announced it was exiting the orthodontic business entirely. The public entity later became known as Nogin, Inc., an e-commerce platform, leaving the orthodontic assets non-operational.

### What regulatory clearances did Aerodentis obtain?

Aerodentis received CE marking for sale in Europe. The company pursued FDA 510(k) clearance in the United States, a premarket notification pathway for Class II medical devices. Public filings do not indicate the FDA submission was completed before the 2019 pivot away from orthodontics.

### What therapeutic principle did Aerodentis use?

Aerodentis applied cyclic mechanical loading — low-magnitude, high-frequency vibration — intended to accelerate the biological response to orthodontic force. The concept is that mechanical signals can upregulate bone-remodeling pathways, shortening the period teeth require to move through alveolar bone.

### How is Dror Ortho-Design related to Nogin, Inc.?

After exiting orthodontics in 2019, the public shell of Dror Ortho-Design was used for a reverse merger or business combination that resulted in the entity taking the name Nogin, Inc. Nogin operates as a commerce-as-a-service platform and bears no operational connection to the original orthodontic business or the Aerodentis product line.
