Learn ALF Therapy

From the curious to the advanced. . .

There is a growing awareness of the link between airway, sleep, and overall health. The importance of nasal breathing and tongue function is well established in both medicine and dentistry. There is an increased expectation of dentists to provide both functional harmony as well as aesthetics.

There is no better time to learn ALF Therapy than now.

Join Dr. Darick Nordstrom, DDS, the creator of ALF Therapy, Dr. Mona Moy, DDS, the ALF Practioner and the ALF Therapy educator. A very special guest Dr. Joseph Kim,PhD, DO, in Seoul, Korea.

Dr. Nordstrom and Dr. Moy will discuss topics ranging from functional and physiologic approach to malocclusions and integrated ALF Therapy, to the treatment of complex craniofacial dysfunctions.

We look forward to having you in this life changing course!

“Beauty springs from within, to the degree that functional harmony releases it.”
