55: The ALF Is More Than Moving Teeth

Dr. Julia Kagan joins me to explore the ALF appliance through a whole-body lens, including cranial motion, tongue-palate input, neuroregulation, and why the body’s response matters just as much as the appliance itself. We also dig into laser therapy, the anterior coupling reflex, and what can happen when we pay attention to the sensory and neurologic information our patients are giving us.

In this episode, we talk about:

• How the ALF can support cranial motion, neuromyofunctional growth, and regulation
• How laser therapy may influence fascia, muscle function, and sensory-motor feedback
• Why listening to patients, parents, and the body’s response can change clinical decision-making
