     We have worked with Dr. Nordstrom DDS (developer of the ALF appliances) for 15 years in our Southern California offices. This approach is very helpful in treating many problems with craniofacial development and function, including TMJ disorders. We have a particular interest in working with facial dysfunctions including TMD, mal-occlusions and head injuries.
