Discreet, Comfortable Design
Made from a flexible, resilient wire, ALF takes up minimal space and sits behind the teeth, making it both comfortable and less noticeable than traditional orthodontic devices.
Whole-Body Approach
ALF therapy can be combined with osteopathic and myofunctional treatments for a more complete, holistic approach to your child’s health and development.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should my child have their first dental checkup?
The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry recommends scheduling your child's first dental visit by their first birthday or when their first tooth appears. Early checkups help prevent cavities and establish a positive dental routine.
How often should my child see the dentist?
Children should visit the dentist every six months for a routine checkup and professional cleaning. Regular visits allow early detection of dental issues and help reinforce healthy oral habits.
What happens during a pediatric dental checkup?
A typical children’s dental checkup includes a gentle cleaning, a thorough exam, possible fluoride treatment, and dental X-rays if needed. The dentist will also evaluate your child’s oral growth and development, checking for proper tooth alignment and jaw development. Additionally, we provide oral hygiene tips and dietary recommendations to help maintain a healthy smile.
Why are baby teeth important if they eventually fall out?
Baby teeth guide the development of permanent teeth and support speech and chewing. Healthy baby teeth help prevent future alignment issues and reduce the risk of early tooth decay.
What can I do to prepare my child for their dental visit?
To make their first dental checkup stress-free, talk about the visit in a positive way, read books about going to the dentist, and choose a kid-friendly dental office with a welcoming environment.
Are dental X-rays safe for kids?
Yes! We use digital X-rays, which have the lowest radiation levels for safe imaging.
How can I prevent cavities in my child’s teeth?
Encourage daily brushing and flossing, limit sugary snacks and drinks, and schedule regular dental cleanings and fluoride treatments to keep your child’s teeth cavity-free.
When should my child start using toothpaste with fluoride?
Children can start using fluoride toothpaste as soon as their first tooth appears, using a rice-sized amount for toddlers under 3 and a pea-sized amount for kids aged 3-6. For families choosing to avoid fluoride, remineralizing alternatives like nano-hydroxyapatite toothpaste can also help strengthen enamel and protect teeth. Our team is happy to discuss the best options for your child’s oral health based on your preferences.
What if my child is afraid of the dentist?
A pediatric dentist specializes in making dental visits fun and anxiety-free. Choosing a kid-friendly dental office with gentle care, engaging distractions, and positive reinforcement can help ease your child’s fear.
