ALF Therapy was created more than 40 years ago
by Dr. Darick Nordstrom,
based on the philosophy of osteopathic medicine.

Dr. Oh learned ALF directly from him and from Dr. Mona Moy,
and today faithfully carries on his ALF Resilience Model
(an ALF model that respects the body’s capacity to recover).

Before the teeth, we look at the person’s body and the story of their life.

Before the teeth we look at the body, and before the body, the person.

The balance of “appliance–mouth–body” matters, and the relationship of “appliance–patient–clinician” is just as precious.

Respecting each patient’s innate individuality, ALF Therapy
takes non-extraction orthodontics as its principle and, wherever possible, looks first for a way to avoid extraction.

Treatment uses flexible, highly elastic ALF appliances made for each patient.

ALF appliances are designed on the principle of biotensegrity.

At OH!ALF Dental Clinic, authentic ALF Therapy
centers its care on light-force ALF Therapy (Advanced Light Force).

Working from records made with 3D CT and digital posture analysis, we view and interpret each patient’s body and mouth as one while carrying out orthodontic treatment.

Going beyond simply treating symptoms, we explore the root cause of the problem.

To diagnose and treat the mouth together with the body from a holistic point of view, we need to look at care for the body, exercise, diet and even daily habits. For this, we run a collaborative care system with partner hospitals and organizations in many fields that see body and mind as one and pursue holistic care.

We find the direction of treatment together with you.

OH!ALF Dental Clinic regularly shares treatment details with ALF educator Dr. Mona Moy and reviews its care together with her. We also look at each person’s problems from several directions with partner hospitals and organizations in many fields.
