Re: My intro : Braces at 28

So I had the Alf fitted yesterday afternoon before a night shift and oh my god....I’m in so much pain. I can’t eat anything that needs chewing at all.

Re: Metal vs Clear: Who wins?

Re: Electric Toothbrush Problems

Re: What kind of lip balm do you use?

It does come without the tint aswell

Re: Have you as adult undergone ALF treatment? Report here.

Hello, I would be very interested in hearing any of your experiences on how your treatment went/is going as i am due to be fitted with the ALF in the next month.
I noticed you both posted a while ago so it would be much appreciated to hear our stories.

Thanks :-)

Hello, I'm due to start my alf treatment next week (only consultation) and was looking for reviews good or bad on it. I would love to hear peoples experiences as there is very little info I have found. I have read this thread with lots of people posting early on treatment but no follow ups? How are ...
