ALF APPLIANCE

The ALF (Advanced Lightwire Functionals) appliance’s physiologic design is specially designed to bring about changes in muscle function to achieve stable results.

Advantages:

Cosmetic- barely visible from the outside
Gentle – far less discomfort than with traditional braces
Treatment visits only every 6-8 weeks
Stable

Results in:

Development of the upper and lower dental arches by expanding them where needed
Re-positioning of the lower jaw relative to the upper
Re-stablishing the correct bite/occlusion. (An over-closed bite creates muscle spasms and forces the jaw joints out of position)

Treatment duration and technique vary between patients according to individual needs.

I was nervous about the "unknowns" of tongue tie, and why breastfeeding was so painful for me. Dr. Darcy and her amazing staff are warm, welcoming and professional from the start! I felt comfortable and informed the whole time.

Took my 2 year old to the dentist for the first time. I think I was more nervous than he was! Overall, we were very comfortable through the process and dare I say even had fun. I had a hard time getting him to want to leave afterwards!

My toddler actually likes going to the dentist! I don't know if it's the way they talk to him, how the office is sooo kid friendly (movies, horse saddle, etc), or the fact he knows he gets a brand new toothbrush and toy to pick himself!

Amber

Dr. Megan and her team at New Richmond were amazing today! My son had to have sedation dental work completed. They were understanding of my sons needs and took great care of mom as well.
