People ask me what is the “magic” of the ALF, and is it all in the design? While the design does indeed need to match the patient’s individual needs, the material used is equally important. The body wire of the ALF is made of Elgiloy, a cobalt-based alloy; the blue Elgiloy often selected at the dental laboratory is chosen for its natural flexibility. We need that springy sensation to enhance the body’s natural rhythmicity (created by the flow of cerebral spinal fluid).
