Build a Stronger Foundation With Gentle Realignment
Traditional orthodontics often focus on straightening teeth alone. However, ALF therapy addresses the bigger picture. Dr. Alvarado uses this lightwire system to address how the jaws, teeth, and airway develop together. ALF doesn't rely on aggressive force. Instead, it encourages healthy movement by working in harmony with the body's natural growth patterns.
You can expect numerous benefits from ALF orthodontic treatment:
- Customized Appliance - You will wear a custom-designed, ultra-light wire framework inside the mouth. It applies gentle, consistent force to guide the development of the jaws and expand the palate.
- Subtle Tooth and Jaw Movement - The ALF appliance encourages natural repositioning of the teeth. At the same time, it supports balanced facial growth and improved airway space.
- Support for Airway and Facial Development - This treatment can also influence skeletal and muscular systems, especially in young children. It can encourage nasal breathing, facial symmetry, and long-term structural balance.
- Functional Bite Correction - ALF therapy supports natural bite realignment. You'll experience less stress on the jaw and improved TMJ function - all without surgery or more invasive interventions.
