How the UK-remote model works

  1. Trip 1 to Tirana (3-4 days): Consultation, 3D iTero/Trios scan, treatment plan, full set of aligners produced or first 3-6 aligners shipped.
  2. Months 1-12 in UK: Change aligners every 1-2 weeks per the plan. Aligners arrive by DHL monthly (£30-50/shipment). Send progress photos via WhatsApp monthly for review.
  3. Optional Trip 2 (months 6-9): Mid-treatment refinements if needed. Most cases don't require this.
  4. Final retention: Retainer aligners shipped after active treatment ends. Wear nightly for 6-12 months then 2-3 nights/week.

FAQ

How much does invisible orthodontics cost in Albania for UK patients?

Invisalign-equivalent clear aligners at Skydental: £900-1,800 for a full course (mild-moderate cases). UK private Invisalign: £2,500-5,500. Saving £1,600-3,700. Most cases need 12-18 months of treatment.

Is it actual Invisalign or generic aligners?

Skydental offers both: official Invisalign (Align Technology, US) at £1,400-1,800 — premium option. Equivalent clear aligners (3M Clarity, Spark, ClearCorrect) at £900-1,400 — same biomechanics, lower cost. All FDA-equivalent.

How many trips to Tirana do I need?

1-2 trips. Trip 1 (3-4 days): consultation, 3D digital scan, treatment plan + first aligners shipped to UK. Optional trip 2 (2-3 days, mid-treatment) at month 6-9 for refinements. Most cases require only the initial trip with shipping for monthly aligner changes.

Can I do it remotely without going to Tirana?

Initial consultation must be in person at Skydental Tirana for clinical assessment + digital scan. After that, aligners can be shipped to UK monthly (3-5 day DHL delivery, £30-50/shipment). Monthly photo check-ins via WhatsApp. Final check at Tirana optional.

Are the results the same as UK Invisalign?

Yes. Same Align Technology software, same biomechanics, same outcome quality. The 60-70% cost differential reflects Albanian dentist wages and overhead, not clinical compromise.

Is it suitable for severe cases?

Mild-to-moderate cases ideal: crowding, spacing, mild bite issues. Severe orthodontic cases (significant overbite, complex jaw alignment) may need traditional braces or surgical orthodontics — discussed at consultation. Skydental will tell you honestly if you're not a clear-aligner candidate.
