Many parents see the Neonatal ALF for the first time and immediately worry about choking hazards, discomfort, or safety. We understand — it’s unfamiliar, and the tiny string can look concerning if you don’t know what it’s for.
Here’s the truth:
The Neonatal ALF is a gentle, functional appliance designed to support healthy oral development, airway growth, tongue mobility, and feeding from the earliest weeks of life.
✔️ The string is not a choking risk — it’s a safety feature that allows easy visibility and retrieval.
✔️ It is light, flexible, and comfortable for babies.
✔️ It works with the baby’s natural movement to guide proper craniofacial growth.
When applied and monitored by trained providers, the Neonatal ALF is one of the safest, most supportive tools for early airway and growth development.
