Book ConsultationWhat Is It
ALF Therapy
ALF Therapy stands for Advanced Lightwire Functional therapy. It uses a light, flexible wire appliance designed to influence oral function, cranial balance, airway support, and bite development in a gentle way.
Unlike force-heavy orthodontic approaches, ALF therapy works through subtle stimulation and functional adaptation. It is often considered when jaw development, tongue space, cranial strain, or airway-related patterns appear connected.
At Airway Clinic Stockholm, ALF is planned as part of a whole-person assessment, often alongside myofunctional therapy or other dental care when those supports are needed.
