Treatment
Orthodontics in Tirana
Straightening teeth improves more than appearance: an even bite is easier to clean and puts less strain on the joints and enamel. We treat adults and teenagers with clear aligners, ceramic braces and traditional fixed appliances, with remote monitoring between visits so travelling patients are not left waiting.

Appliances we offer
Clear aligners
Removable, nearly invisible trays changed every one to two weeks, ideal for adults and for patients living abroad.
Ceramic braces
Tooth-coloured fixed brackets that handle complex movements while staying discreet.
Fixed metal braces
The most efficient and predictable option for significant crowding, rotations and bite correction.
Retainers
Every case finishes with a bonded wire behind the teeth and a clear removable retainer, teeth move for life without them.
Brace systems and brands we work with
Your plan states which appliance system we recommend and why, including self-ligating brackets and clear aligner therapy.
Damon self-ligating system
Self-ligating brackets hold the wire without elastic ties, which means fewer adjustment visits, a practical advantage if you travel to us.
Clear aligners
Near-invisible removable trays planned digitally, suited to crowding, spacing and relapse after childhood braces.
Metal fixed braces
Stainless steel brackets remain the most predictable and hard-wearing option for complex bite corrections at any age.
Ceramic brackets
Tooth-coloured brackets for adults who want fixed treatment that is far less visible in photographs.
How treatment runs
- Step 1
Records and digital plan
Photographs, radiographs and an intraoral scan. You see a simulation of the final position and the expected treatment length before committing.
- Step 2
Fitting your appliance
Braces are bonded, or your first aligners are issued together with several sets to take home if you live abroad.
- Step 3
6–18 months of movement
Aligner cases are monitored remotely with photos and reviewed in clinic every two to three months; fixed braces are adjusted at similar intervals.
- Step 4
Finishing and retention
Appliances are removed, the teeth are polished, and fixed plus removable retainers are fitted the same day to hold the result.
During and after treatment
- Wear aligners 20–22 hours a day; results depend more on wear time than on the brand.
- Clean carefully around brackets and wires, white marks from plaque are permanent.
- Avoid hard and sticky food with fixed braces to prevent broken brackets between visits.
- Wear your retainer as instructed, indefinitely, relapse is the most common reason patients need retreatment.
Frequently asked questions
- How long does orthodontic treatment take?
- Mild alignment cases finish in 6–9 months; comprehensive cases with bite correction usually take 12–18 months. Your simulation gives an estimate before you start.
- Can I have orthodontics if I live abroad?
- Yes, and it is common. Aligner patients take several sets home and send photos for remote review, returning to Tirana every two to three months or less often when progress allows.
- Am I too old for braces?
- No. Teeth move at any age provided the gums and bone are healthy. A large share of our orthodontic patients are adults in their thirties to fifties.
- Do I need teeth removed?
- Often not. Where crowding is severe we discuss extraction, expansion or interproximal reduction and show you the difference in the simulation before deciding together.
- How much does orthodontic treatment cost at your clinic?
- Albanian dental guidelines do not allow clinics to publish prices online. Send photos or an X-ray on WhatsApp and we send a personal costed plan privately, confirmed after your in-clinic examination.
