Ready to do something awesome?
It has been deeply rewarding to be part of the ALF community for almost three decades, witnessing the evolution of ALF into a biocompatible appliance bridging dental, osteopathic, and myofunctional disciplines. I am confident that ALF will become a mainstream approach for addressing "crowded teeth" syndrome and various craniofacial dysfunctions.
