Straight talk from Tucson, AZ dentist about ALF treatment

ALF, or Alternative Lightwire Functionals, is an entirely unique approach to improving bite and smile appearance. Rather than bullying teeth into straighter position, ALF treatment addresses maladjustment of cranial bones. Relieving cranial sutures - points where plates of the skull come together - brings the bite into alignment naturally. This integrative option for a comfortable, attractive, and functional smile is available from Dr. Jeanne Anne Krizman at Tucson Biological Dentistry in Tucson, AZ.
