The Alexander LTS System

A System True to the Principles of The Alexander Discipline

Like earlier versions of the Alexander Prescription, The LTS System utilizes bracket types selected to enhance clinical efficiency, increase interbracket distance, speed the correction of rotations, minimize chairtime, and enhance patient comfort. Twin brackets are used on upper central and lateral, while winged brackets are used on cuspids, bicuspids and lower anteriors.
