"I am now a believer in the ALF treatment and the connection with the craniosacral system of our body.  I have attended regular dental visits and adhered to a daily regiment of brushing and flossing since I was 5 years old.  In my 30s, I began to experience symptoms of TMJ (clinching and grinding my teeth with periodic jaw aches and cracking my molars).  On three different occasions, my dentist fitted me with a mouth guard to prevent my teeth from further cracking, which I also broke.  

I researched my problem and talked to dental specialists who recommended invasive surgery and of course, pain.  After 2 root canals and every molar tooth capped, I noticed Dr. Maribel Vann's article.  I met with her for a consultation in 2004 and began the ALF treatment to correct "right torsion cranial strain".  I also followed Dr. Vann's recommendation to have cranial sacral therapy.  Quite frankly, I was skeptical and referred to the whole process as "voodoo".  Strangely enough, I found the combination of treatments effective and amazing.  

Additionally, working with Dr. Vann created a warm and pleasant experience.  Of course, I was concerned about pain and did experience minor discomfort for about a day after some of the ALF adjustments, which was handled with Tylenol or Advil.  During the last 6 months of my treatment, I wore braces, which did create periodic minimal pain.  

After 2 years of treatment, my bite fits properly, my smile is straight, I am free from jaw pain and most important, I am not clinching and grinding my teeth.  I am now a believer in the treatment and therapy supported by Dr. Vann with the overall harmony of the cranial mechanism with the entire body."
