Orthodontic Treatments: Teeth Straightening & Braces
Orthodontics is concerned with the study and treatment of “bad bites”, which may be caused by a number of factors including tooth irregularity and disproportionate jaw relationships.
Orthodontic treatment can be carried out to improve aesthetics or function.
At Alba, we provide a range of orthodontic options including braces and clear aligners catered to your individual needs. Whether you’re looking for an orthodontic assessment, or just a consultation to completely understand how you can see the best results, Alba delivers modern techniques and a range of solutions customised to the individual.
How do traditional braces work?
Traditional metal braces place pressure on the teeth to move them into their final desired position. They are often the cheapest and fastest treatment option to straighten teeth effectively.
Traditional braces can also be combined with other specialist orthodontic devices to correct jaw alignment and spacing issues.
Types Of Braces
Metal Braces
At Alba, our dentists use a state of the art bracket system, which is customised to each individual patient to provide faster results with fewer appointments and less treatment time for patient comfort. Whether you need braces on your bottom teeth, top, or both, Alba will completely customise your orthodontic and dental plan to achieve the best results.
Ceramic Braces
Ceramic braces provide a discrete alternative to metal braces and are made of materials that blend with the natural colour of your teeth. For this reason, ceramic braces are used mainly on older teenagers and adults patients who have cosmetic concerns. While they are visually less prominent, they require more attention to oral hygiene as ceramic braces are larger and more brittle than their metal counterparts.
Not every patient is a candidate for ceramic braces and your suitability will be determined at the time of your initial consult.

What is an alternative to traditional braces?
Clear aligners can be an ideal solution for patients who would prefer a more discreet yet effective alternative to traditional fixed metal braces when looking to straighten their smile
Clear aligners are removable, custom-made, clear orthodontic aligners that have a similar completion time to traditional fixed braces. These aligners move your natural teeth with gradual force to achieve your ideal positioning of teeth and smile and help to adjust your bite.
We employ a special technology that allows us to remotely control your treatment in near real-time and utilise a device that enables the treatment time to be reduced by 50%. This makes your clear aligner treatment results at Alba faster and more efficient, resulting in fewer appointments.
Alba is recognised as a Red Diamond Clear Aligner Provider— which means we complete over 500 Clear Aligner cases per year.
Clear Aligners vs Braces
At Alba we understand that clear aligners and other orthodontic treatment is a lifelong investment and is not easy decision to make.
Before deciding on the best orthodontic solution for you, it is important that you consult with one of our friendly team members. We can talk through your options, the advantages and disadvantages of orthodontics, and help you make an informed decision that is best for you.
Clear Aligners
Clear aligners are nearly invisible so it’s difficult for others to notice the treatment. Most patients may feel pressure in the early stage when starting with the first few clear aligners.
Clear aligners are removable. You can remove them before eating/drinking and easily brush and floss to maintain good oral hygiene. Clear aligner treatment allows you to visualise each stage of the treatment process, from the beginning to the end, giving you a clearer picture of the treatment duration.
Braces
The wires and brackets of traditional braces are visible.
Most patients may feel pain each time braces are adjusted. The metal brackets may also irritate the mouth and cause ulcers.
Braces are fixed and not removable during the teeth straightening treatment. This makes it difficult to eat certain types of food (e.g. apples, nuts) and it can be difficult to clean and floss your teeth with the braces in.
Traditional braces can only give you an estimate of the duration of treatment at the beginning of the treatment process.
Real Stories, Real Smiles
What are braces?
Dental braces straighten your teeth and correct a wide range of orthodontic issues, such as:
- Crooked teeth.
- Crowded teeth.
- Gapped teeth.
- Malocclusion (issues with the way your teeth fit together).
Braces use mild, constant pressure to shift your teeth into their proper positions over time. The exact way this happens depends on the type of braces you choose.
Alba, we prioritise both the aesthetics and function of the smile. Therefore, it is important to us that not only do you achieve a smile you are proud of, but that you also have a smile that is healthy and aligned.
Other teeth straightening options
Alba Provides Patients With A Variety Of Options To Straighten Teeth
Not everyone is a suitable clear aligner patient, and not every patient wants clear aligners. At Alba our main aim is to provide each patient the best treatment for them and their oral health. From traditional braces to clear aligners, we have options to help you receive the treatment you need.
Porcelain Veneers
Porcelain veneers are thin shells of porcelain bonded to the front of your teeth. They can be an excellent alternative to braces for those looking to achieve a straighter, more aligned smile without the lengthy treatment time of traditional orthodontics. It’s important to understand that veneers are a cosmetic solution. They will not physically straighten your teeth, instead give you the appearance of a healthy, straight smile.
Dental Bonding
Clear Aligners
Experience the freedom of a virtually invisible teeth-straightening solution with clear aligners. These custom-made, removable aligners gradually transform your smile without the restrictions of traditional braces. Perfect for both adults and teens, they fit seamlessly into your lifestyle – allowing you to eat, drink, and maintain oral hygiene with ease.
Frequently asked braces questions
Do Braces Hurt?
While you may experience mild discomfort for a few days after initial placement and adjustments, braces shouldn’t cause significant pain. This temporary sensation is normal and can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relievers. Most patients adjust quickly to their braces.
Will I Need To Have Teeth Removed To Get Braces?
Not necessarily. While some cases require tooth extraction to achieve optimal alignment, many patients can achieve their desired results without removals. During your consultation, we’ll evaluate your unique situation and discuss all treatment options with you.
