Who are we?
OUR MISSION
At Nordstar Academy, we are transforming the traditional model of orthodontics through holistic dental therapy.
Why Nordstar?
The name Nordstar encapsulates both homage and aspiration. It honors Dr. Darick Nordstrom, the creator of ALF Therapy, while also embodying the symbolism of the North Star, a steadfast beacon that guides us through the darkness.
Dr. Darick Nordstrom's journey began early in his dental career when he observed that the industry often disregarded the natural processes of human growth and development. This realization inspired him to develop the ALF system and share his findings with the world, ensuring accessibility for all. Many practitioners have since adopted parts of his work, but often without adhering to the core principles, resulting in various challenges.
Nordstar Academy embodies Dr. Nordstrom's vision of making the true ALF available worldwide. We support his efforts to honor each patient's unique journey to health, ensuring that the transformative power of ALF Therapy is accessible to all. Together, we can make a meaningful impact in orthodontics and beyond.
Meet Dr. Mona Moy
I’m Dr. Mona Moy, dedicated to holistic orthodontics for over 16 years. My journey started with ALF therapy, developed by Dr. Darick Nordstrom, which revealed that orthodontics can enhance overall health, not just straighten teeth. In Northern California, I’ve treated thousands, witnessing how oral balance positively affects the body.
Educated in Korea and the USA, I'm licensed in both, which enriches my healing perspective. I've studied beyond traditional dentistry, exploring Cranial Osteopathy and Oriental Medicine. My goal is to provide care that helps people thrive, avoiding conventional orthodontic issues like TMJ and imbalanced faces.
I’m eager to share this knowledge and connect with other practitioners globally. If you seek to grow your skills or are a patient looking for holistic care, join me. Together, we can redefine orthodontics, prioritizing whole-body health alongside beautiful smiles. Experience Authentic ALF Therapy as intended by Dr. Nordstrom for the benefit of your life and patients.
To harmony and healing.
Dr. Mona Moy, DDS
