Metal Braces
Metal Braces
Fixed metal braces are the classic, proven way to correct crowding, gaps, and bite problems - and the most dependable tool we have for moving teeth into healthy, lasting alignment.
Metal braces work by bonding a small high-grade bracket to each tooth and threading a guiding wire across them. Over time, that wire applies gentle, continuous pressure, and your orthodontist fine-tunes it at each visit to steer every tooth into its correct position. Because the brackets and wire are fixed in place, they work around the clock without you having to remember anything - which is exactly why they remain the gold standard for complex cases.
This is the most robust and dependable option we offer, and it shines where other systems struggle: severe crowding, large gaps, rotated teeth, and bite corrections that demand precise, three-dimensional control. The brackets themselves are low-fuss and hard-wearing, and the whole process is led personally by our orthodontic team rather than handed off to a generic aligner sequence. For many patients it is also an excellent choice for comprehensive, specialist-led straightening.
At Dental Med Austria we plan each case to premium-quality standards and review your progress every few weeks, adjusting the wire so movement stays comfortable and on track. International patients don't need to fly in to find out whether braces are right for them: send a panoramic X-ray and a few photos and our orthodontic team will prepare a free written treatment plan and timeline within 24-48 hours, so you arrive in Tirana already knowing the plan, the duration, and what to expect.
Expect mild pressure or tenderness for a day or two after fitting and each adjustment, which settles quickly; keeping brackets and wires clean and attending your regular reviews every few weeks keeps treatment comfortable and on schedule.
Ideale per: Patients who want effective, dependable straightening - especially for more complex crowding or bite issues - and are happy with a visible brace.

Treatment in Tirana is delivered with the same premium materials and European clinical standards patients travel from across Europe for. Every plan depends on your individual case and the materials you choose, so we tailor it to you rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. You receive a single, clear written treatment plan up front, in your language, with nothing hidden, send a panoramic X-ray or CBCT and a few photos for a free, no-obligation plan within 24–48 hours.
