ALF in a Nutshell

ALF stands for 'Advanced Lightwire Functionals'.

• It is a method to align teeth and improve the bite without braces (orthodontic treatment).
• It addresses alignment of the bones (orthopedic treatment) using principles of cranial osteopathy.
• It brings about changes in muscle function to achieve stable results.
• ALF is a whole-body-and-mind approach to improve overall health and performance in every realm.

The STRENGTHS of ALF are

• cosmetics - barely visible from the outside
• gentle - far less discomfort than with braces
• stable - no need for life-long retention
