Each orthodontic treatment is tailored to the patient's needs through accurate diagnoses and advanced digital technologies, ensuring aesthetic and functional results.
Discreet and comfortable aesthetic solutions
We use clear aligners and aesthetic appliances designed to blend harmoniously with your smile, offering daily comfort and minimal visual impact during treatment.
Effective approach even in complex cases
We treat malocclusions and misalignments with precise orthodontic solutions and modern devices, ensuring biomechanical control and predictable results.
Orthodontics for adults and younger patients
We offer orthodontic treatments for all ages, from removable braces for younger patients to advanced aesthetic solutions for adults looking to improve their smile and bite function.
Transparent Trays (Invisible Aligners)
In our orthodontics department, we use state-of-the-art clear aligners to discreetly and effectively correct tooth alignment.
Invisible aligners are one of the most popular solutions in aesthetic orthodontics, thanks to their transparency, removability, and comfort during daily use.
This innovative solution allows you to improve your smile without interfering with your daily life, thanks to removable, comfortable, and nearly invisible devices. Each treatment is personalized and digitally planned, allowing you to visualize the tooth movements and final results in advance.
Ideal for light to moderate crowds
Easy to remove for eating and oral hygiene
Constant monitoring of treatment progress
Fixed Aesthetic Orthodontic Appliances
Fixed aesthetic appliances represent a valid alternative to clear aligners, especially in more complex orthodontic cases.
At Gaia Clinic, we use aesthetic ceramic or sapphire brackets, designed to blend harmoniously with the natural color of your teeth and reduce the visual impact of braces.
These devices allow for precise and controlled correction of malocclusions, maintaining a high level of aesthetics throughout the treatment.
Greater effectiveness in complex cases
Biomechanical resistance and precision
Discreet aesthetics compared to traditional meta brackets
Fixed Metal Orthodontic Appliances
Metal braces are the traditional and most proven solution in orthodontics, particularly suitable for complex treatments and for patients in developmental age.
Modern metal brackets are much smaller, more comfortable, and more efficient than in the past, allowing for precise control of tooth movement and reduced treatment times.

High resistance and reliability
Excellent relationship between clinical outcome and duration of treatment
Possibility of customization with colored elastic bands for younger patients
Removable Orthodontic Appliances
Removable orthodontic appliances are mainly used in younger patients or in specific phases of orthodontic treatment.
They are indicated to guide the growth of the dental arches, correct bad habits and prepare the patient for subsequent more complex orthodontic treatments.
Thanks to the possibility of removing them, they offer good flexibility and promote correct oral hygiene.
Support for the growth and harmonious development of the dental arches
Early correction of bad habits (e.g. thumb sucking, atypical swallowing)
Greater oral hygiene thanks to the possibility of removal
Good flexibility and adaptability in daily life during treatment
Correction of Malocclusions and Bite Disorders
Orthodontics is not just about straightening teeth, but also about correcting functional bite problems.
We treat Class I, II, and III malocclusions, open bite, deep bite, cross bite, and dental misalignments, improving chewing function, occlusal stability, and temporomandibular joint (TMJ) health.
Improved chewing function and bite efficiency
Correction of the main malocclusions (I, II and III class)
Stabilization of occlusion and dental alignment
Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Health Support
FAQs on orthodontics and aesthetics
What is cosmetic orthodontics?
It is a branch of orthodontics that uses clear or barely visible appliances to discreetly align teeth, maintaining a natural appearance during treatment.
What types of aesthetic devices do you offer?
We offer clear aligners, ceramic braces, and lingual solutions, chosen based on the patient's needs and dental situation.
How long does cosmetic orthodontic treatment last?
The duration varies depending on the complexity of the case, generally from 6 to 24 months. After an initial assessment, we provide a personalized plan with estimated timeframes.
Are cosmetic braces painful or difficult to wear?
They may cause mild discomfort for the first few days, but they are designed to be comfortable and discreet. Most patients adapt quickly.

Orthodontics in Tirana: Techniques, Duration, and Prices
Orthodontics straightens teeth and corrects the relationships between the arches. It is aimed at children, adolescents, and adults, and can now be performed with nearly invisible braces. At Gaia Clinic, the diagnosis begins with an orthopantomography and teleradiography, two tests included in the initial orthodontic visit.
Fixed orthodontics: metal or aesthetic
Fixed metal braces are the most popular solution: steel brackets glued to the teeth and wires that apply controlled force. For those who prefer a more discreet profile, tooth-colored ceramic brackets offer a visually softer result.
When to choose a landline
More complex cases—severe crowding, significant tooth rotations, mild skeletal problems—are usually best managed with fixed braces, because the dentist directly controls the force applied to each tooth.
Clear aligners
For mild to moderate crowding, clear aligners are a valid alternative. They are removable for meals and hygiene, but must be worn 20-22 hours a day to be effective.
Duration, checks and containment
An average treatment lasts 12-24 months, with checkups every 4-6 weeks for fixed braces and every 8-10 weeks for aligners. At the end, a retainer (lingual wire or night guard) is applied to prevent the teeth from shifting back into place.
