Some choices matter more than others, like who you trust with your teen’s smile, your own orthodontic care, or your child’s first consult. In Mechanicsburg, families turn to Alba Orthodontics because board-certified care brings confidence, consistency, and results you can see! Dr. Fred Alba and Dr. Jeff Alba have earned the community’s trust by combining years of hands-on experience with modern treatment options like Damon Braces and Spark Clear Aligners. Let’s look at why board certification is a game-changer for your orthodontic care.
What “Board-Certified” Really Means
You’ve probably seen the term on websites and business cards, but what does it actually mean?
Board certification is a voluntary process that goes beyond standard licensing. For Dr. Fred Alba and Dr. Jeff Alba, it meant completing a rigorous series of written exams and clinical evaluations through the American Board of Orthodontics. Only a small percentage of orthodontists follow through with this extra step, and even fewer maintain it over time.
In short, board-certified orthodontists don’t just talk the talk. They’ve been tested, reviewed, and recognized for delivering a higher level of care.
Up next, we’ll take a look at how board-certified care can shape your experience from day one.
What It Means for You as a Patient
Choosing a board-certified orthodontist means working with someone who’s constantly sharpening their skills to give you the best possible outcome. Dr. Fred Alba and Dr. Jeff Alba draw on years of hands-on experience and advanced training to fine-tune every aspect of your treatment. What truly sets them apart is their personalized care, from the first appointment to the final adjustment.
Here’s what that can look like:
- Customized Plans That Work: Using digital scans and 3D models, your treatment is mapped out to match your needs and timing.

Orthodontic care looks a little different for every smile. At Alba Orthodontics, Dr. Fred Alba and Dr. Jeff Alba understand that patients at different life stages have unique needs and concerns. Here’s how their board-certified expertise benefits children, teens, and adults in the Mechanicsburg community.

Early evaluations, recommended around age seven, can identify potential issues before they become more complex. By guiding jaw growth and ensuring proper spacing for incoming teeth, early intervention can simplify future treatments and promote healthier development.
For Teens – Balancing Treatment with Busy Lives
Teenagers stay busy with academics, sports, and social activities. Dr. Fred Alba and Dr. Jeff Alba offer both effective and discreet treatment options, allowing teens to feel confident during every phase of teen life.

Adults seeking orthodontic care often prefer subtle treatment options. With choices like Spark Clear Aligners and Damon Clear Braces, adult patients can achieve desired results without compromising their professional appearance.
No matter what stage of life, personalized care makes a lasting impact.
Next, let’s take a look at how that kind of trust is built not just through board-certified care, but through strong ties to the Mechanicsburg community.
Built on Trust, Backed by the Community
For over 25 years, Alba Orthodontics has been a cornerstone of the Mechanicsburg community. Dr. Fred Alba established the practice in 1989, and with Dr. Jeff Alba, a proud graduate of Cumberland Valley High School, they’ve cultivated relationships that span generations.
Families often return to the practice with younger siblings, and it’s not uncommon for former teen patients to bring in their own children, continuing a legacy of care. Located conveniently along the Cumberland Parkway between Sheetz and the Giant Grocery Store, the office is familiar and accessible for many residents.
Beyond the clinic, the Alba duo are active participants in local events and support various community initiatives, reflecting their commitment to the area they call home. That kind of trust doesn’t come from a certification alone, but it’s part of what keeps Alba Orthodontics ahead of the curve.
