At the ALF Interface Conference, our mission is to provide high-quality healthcare education to our community. We are committed to offer our conferences and electives to the standards set forth by the AGD PACE program approval for continuing education.
Day 1 Session 1:
Dr. Darick will open our conference with an overview of the understanding the way that the body is supposed to work. He will share his wisdom on how our treatment approaches complement the way that nature intended for us to live, grow and thrive.
Day 1 Session 2:
Dr. Darick Nordstrom will discuss the role of dopamine and serotonin are often discussed in the literture and frequently modulated through medication and lifestyle choices. Gaining a better understanding of the interplay between the neurotransmitters and neuromodulators might help us as providers better care for our patients
Day 1 Session 3:
Mike Cantrell and James Anderson from the Applied Integration Academy will be sharing their groundbreaking work relating how breathing and movement patterns influence posture and compression of spaces within the human form to synchronize the body with the hydrostatic compression offered by the tongue. A clear understanding of body compression and grounding has the potential to help ALF Therapy providers further optimize the work of the tongue by giving the added benefit of using ground-up body training to ensure natural activation of ALF
Day 1 Session 4:
Dr. Darick Nordstrom will share his thoughts on how the supplementation with iron, vitamin (prohormone) D, magnesium, thiamine, folate and other nutrients have been at the heart of many debates among heath care professionals when it comes to the management of both acute and chronic conditions. This presentation will take a deep dive into the relevance of the serum levels as well as those levels in the brain beyond beyond the blood brain barrier that are critical to understand yet difficult to measure and their impact on health and overall function.
Day 2 Session 1:
Kim Lee-Thorp will discuss the need for personal health monitoring and coaching to complement a more comprehensive approach to acheiving successful treatment outcomes.
Day 2 Session 1:
Dr. Darick Nordstrom will explain how understanding the proper developmental processes helps the provider to understand and honor the treatment sequencing required to truly support the body's sense of safety and neurological support. This sense of wellness allow the transcription of growth factors and a full expression of natural and optimal growth that ALF Therapy is known for.
Day 2 Session 2:
Drs. Darick Nordstrom and Harvey Shiffman will be discussing the similarities and differences between OraLase and NightLase so that the provider can better apply the techniques and technologies to the patient phenotype to attain the most beneficial treatment results to improve both patient sleep metrics and quality of life.
Day 2 Session 3:
As clinicians, we we are often challenged to be practical in our approach to dentistry while as doctors we are held to our obligation to honor the principles of evidence based medicine, These simple, yet sophisticated neurological assessments allow us to take advantage of the innate wisdom of the body to quicky and affectively measure the body's efficiency and help us to adjust the appliances and asses our patients wellness and resilence.
Recent research is highlighting the importance of efficiency of the neural circuits in the trigeminal region as related to conditions such as obstructive sleep apnea, Alzeimers Disease, athletic performance, postural sway stability, dementia and other conditions sure to follow as the emerging research continues to support the importance of the neurological aspects of function.
Dr. Angie Tenholder will share how those who participate in the ALF Evolution course are trained to can use the STARFISH, STOP and SWITCH assessments to measure efficiency of the neural circuits as well as determine baseline and titration metrics in treatment planning and outcomes
Day 2 Session 4:
Dr. Darick Nordstrom will be sharing the latest ALF Appliance updates include the Modular Light Force (MLF) Appliance that he has developed with the goal of reducing the need for intricate, detailed wire bending and optimizing patient chewing function to gain transvese arch develpment while reducing high gonial angle cases.
The 2024 ALF InterFACE Conference will once again be held in the US Midwest for ease of access for ALF practitioners from all areas of the country.
