More than 150 people, including women from all over Japan, filed a lawsuit. They are seeking more than 3 million yen in compensation from dental clinics and contracted companies.
They claim that they suffered damage such as poor alignment of teeth because most dental clinics were closed and treatment was suspended. The company that signed the contract with the patient, responded in writing to NHK in late April through its lawyer, saying, "We will pay responsible contracts with monitor customers and carefully consider how to deal with questionable contracts in the future"
