For anyone worried if ALFs work don't be! They do work and here's the proof in attached photo. The ALF came out around 3months ago then I got braces off last week. I did get a small fixed wire put on the back off both upper and lower teeth so teeth won't move again and also sleep with a plastic reta...

hey ellieb not sure if you are still active on here or not but I'd love to hear how everything is going for you. I have pretty much the same thing as you with an ALF and TPA combined.
