Effective for treating complex orthodontic cases
Metallic Braces
At Dental Tourism Albania (DTA), we connect patients with clinics that offer high-quality metal braces, which use stainless steel bands, brackets, and wires to gradually move your teeth into proper alignment. A dentist or orthodontist bonds a bracket to each tooth and then threads a thin, flexible archwire through the brackets. Small elastic bands, called ligatures, hold the wire securely in place. Metal braces are visible when you smile, but you can choose clear or tooth-colored ligatures for a more discreet look. For a fun twist, brightly colored ligatures are also an option.
What are Metallic Braces?
Many people experience orthodontic issues that can impact both oral health and confidence. Among the available treatment options, metallic braces are the most traditional and widely used solution.
Metal braces consist of stainless-steel brackets attached to each tooth and connected by an archwire, which applies gentle pressure to gradually move the teeth into proper alignment.
They are effective for correcting a wide range of issues, including crooked teeth and bite problems. While metal braces are more visible than clear aligners, they are generally more affordable and highly reliable.
