Lingual Braces
Lingual Braces
Lingual braces are bonded to the back of your teeth, so they correct your smile with full fixed-brace precision while staying completely invisible from the front.
Lingual braces work on exactly the same principle as conventional fixed braces - brackets and an archwire guide your teeth into their ideal position - but the entire appliance sits on the tongue-facing (lingual) surface of the teeth instead of the front. Because nothing is visible when you smile or talk, they offer total discretion without compromising on control. This makes them the most hidden fixed option we offer, and a genuine alternative for patients who want braces no one can see.
At Dental Med Austria, each lingual appliance is custom-made to follow the precise contours of the inner surfaces of your teeth, which improves comfort and accuracy compared with one-size-fits-all systems. Our orthodontists plan every case in detail before treatment begins, so the brackets and wires are positioned for efficient, predictable tooth movement. We work to premium clinical standards in our Tirana clinic, combining premium materials with meticulous planning to deliver results that look completely natural - because the hardware is never on show.
Lingual braces are ideal for image-conscious adults and professionals who can't or prefer not to use removable clear aligners but still want to keep treatment private. International patients benefit from our free remote treatment plan: send us your photos and any existing scans, and our team prepares a personalised assessment and timeline before you ever travel, so your visit to Tirana is efficient and well-coordinated from the first appointment.
Expect a short adjustment period of a few days to a couple of weeks as your tongue and speech adapt to the appliance; after that most patients are comfortable, and we guide you on gentle cleaning around the brackets and provide regular reviews throughout treatment.
Idéal pour : Adults who want completely invisible braces with full fixed control - especially those who prefer not to use, or aren't suited to, clear aligners.
