ALF appliances are a type of orthodontic treatment oriented to address the underlying causes of crooked teeth, such as low tongue posture, restricted airways, mouth breathing, and stress and tension in the head and neck area. It is a preventive approach to improving your oral health and smile. Using light, flexible wires that are custom-designed in a lab to fit your mouth perfectly, ALF appliances help to develop the upper jaw and the midface forward so that you can avoid the need to extract permanent teeth during your treatment process.
When you receive an ALF appliance, our orthodontist will take scans of your mouth using our advanced imaging technology. These scans will be sent to an ALF lab where they will be created to fit your mouth precisely and provide an effective treatment.
Benefits of ALF treatment include:
- A beautiful smile
