What is an ALF Dental Appliance?
ALF stands for Advanced Light Force. An ALF is an appliance that can be beneficial for all ages and stages of development. For younger patients, the ALF can support and promote proper growth and development. For older patients, the ALF can support and stabilize. It is not an appliance to simply move teeth but was designed to support and improve proper tongue function as well as neurologic function. Many of the patients who will benefit from ALF may have sensory issues and our digital impressions make this process even easier for them.
