ALF in a Nutshell

ALF is even more than a whole-body approach: It's a WHOLE PERSON Approach!

Using light, flexible wires for orthodontic treatment is more than just a way to create a beautiful smile – it is a preventive health approach.

Philosophy

The most common way to straighten teeth is with braces, but there are other, nontraditional ways to address the underlying causes of crooked teeth. Locked-up bones in the cranium, mouth breathing, tongue position, habits like thumb sucking, nutrition, posture, and genetics all affect how the face grows, the jaws form, and the teeth line up.

Advantages of ALF Treatment

  • Much less painful than braces
  • Removable when necessary
  • Barely visible, which makes it cosmetically pleasing
  • Focused on facial development and airway health
  • Empowering the patient
  • Well-developed faces, minimizing the risk of TMJ problems
  •  Improved airway health, reducing the risk of snoring and obstructive sleep apnea
