Clear braces installation in Sanart Dental Studio
About the clinic
Clear braces installation at Sanart Dental Studio in Tirana, Albania, provides a discreet way to straighten teeth using the Invisalign system. This orthodontic treatment is managed by specialized professionals like Dr. Paula Balla, who focus on restoring dental alignment with transparent aligners. Patients choosing this clinic can find significant value through dental tourism, often saving up to 70% compared to costs in Western Europe.
Advanced Treatment Planning
The clinic uses digital tools to plan every stage of the orthodontic journey. A 3Shape scanner creates a digital model of the teeth, removing the need for messy traditional molds. This 3D computer-planned approach lets patients see a preview of their final smile before the first aligner is even made. This clear visualization helps set realistic expectations for the outcome of the treatment.
The Invisalign Process
Invisalign uses a series of clear, removable trays that gradually shift teeth into the correct position. These aligners are virtually invisible and offer more comfort than metal brackets. To achieve the best results, patients must wear their aligners for at least 22 hours every day. The specific steps of the process include:
- Initial consultation and digital scanning to assess dental health
- Custom aligner production based on the 3D digital plan
- Frequent tray updates with a new set of aligners every 2-3 weeks
- Regular progress checks to track the movement of the teeth
Treatment Duration and Results
The total time required for clear braces varies depending on the complexity of the dental alignment. Most treatments at Sanart Dental Studio last between 6 months and 2 years. Dr. Paula Balla, an orthodontist who completed her specialization at Albanian University, oversees these cases. Dr. Balla has also attended advanced training in modern orthodontic techniques to help patients reach their goals.
Dental Care in Tirana
Sanart Dental Studio operates its own in-house laboratory to maintain high standards for dental appliances. Beyond clear aligners, the facility provides services in implantology and esthetic dentistry. For international patients, the clinic helps coordinate accommodation to make the travel process smooth. This allows visitors to receive professional dental care while exploring the city of Tirana. You can leave a request on Bookimed to learn more about starting your treatment.

Sanart Dental Studio: more details about the clinic
Albania, Tirana
Sanart Dental Studio is a private multi-specialty dental clinic in Tirana, Albania. The facility operates within a single building and houses three dental departments. A team of five doctors provides all treatments.
Clinic History and Faculty Expertise
The clinic has an integrated dental laboratory. Dr. Ismail Karabudak established it in 2002. Prosthetic specialist Dr. Maldi Xhelili trained at Moscow State University of Medicine and Dentistry.
Dr. Xhelili has taught at Albanian University and the Faculty of Stomatology since 2008. He completed specialized dental courses in Italy, Japan, Germany, Russia, and Turkey. This training supports his work in complex oral rehabilitation.
Dental Implant Therapy and Prosthetics
The clinic provides specialized options for full-arch tooth replacement. Dr. Jason Smith serves as the primary dental surgeon for implants. Surgeons place implants immediately after tooth extraction. The implant then takes 2–4 months to fuse with the jawbone.
After integration, specialists attach the final crown or prosthetic structure. The clinic offers several full-arch rehabilitation methods:
- All-on-4 implant-supported bridges
- All-on-6 structural restorations
- All-on-8 full-arch protocols
Patients can choose from multiple durable crown materials:
- Zircon and pure ceramics
- Standard metal-porcelain
- Flori ceramics variations
- Palladium ceramics alloys
These materials provide long-term durability for jaw rehabilitation.
Oral Surgery and Endodontics
The surgical department performs bone and tissue modifications. These procedures prepare the jaw for successful implant integration. Available surgical treatments include:
- Alveotomy – surgical tooth extraction
- Sinus lift procedures
- Split crest techniques
- Bone grafts
Surgeons extract teeth broken by trauma or damaged by untreatable infections. Dr. John Martin works as a dental therapist alongside the surgical team. He provides therapeutic dental care under sedation.
For deep tooth infections, the clinic offers endodontic care. Specialists complete root canal treatment in a single session using pain-free protocols.
Periodontology and Esthetic Dentistry
The periodontology department treats diseases affecting tissues around teeth. Therapists address localized or widespread gum inflammation. These treatments reduce swelling and restore tooth stability.
Orthodontic care features Invisalign transparent aligners. The clinic also provides esthetic smile transformations:
- Dental veneers and facets
- Professional teeth whitening
- Ultrasonic teeth cleaning
These treatments improve both dental function and appearance.
Diagnostic and Digital Technologies
The clinic uses Digital Smile Design software. This program analyzes facial and smile visuals in motion, so doctors can plan the ideal smile shape.
Diagnostics rely on modern digital radiography – no traditional film X-rays. Periodontal cleaning uses ULTRATINGUJ ultrasonic devices. This technology removes plaque without damaging sensitive gum tissue.
Dental Tourism Services
The clinic runs a dental tourism program for international patients. This service helps coordinate care in Albania. Patients can tour Tirana and explore the country during treatment breaks.

I have visited Dr Karabudak and his team for a total of three visits over the past year for some fairly invasive dental surgery (three implants + crowns, a root canal and the replacement of a number of old fillings and crowns).
I am beyond impressed with the quality of dental care and levels of treatment I have experienced. It far surpasses the standard of treatment I have experienced in the UK, where it is not uncommon to feel rushed and like an inconvenience, even in private dentists.
I would have no hesitation at all in recommending the team at Sanart. I will absolutely return if I need any more treatment. Thanks to all of you for your care!

I would like to extend a HUGE thank you to Dr. Ismail Karabudak and the entire team at Sanart Dental Studio. 🤩
This was my second visit coming from the 🇬🇧, and it's clear why they have such an excellent reputation. Dr. Ismail Karabudak is an EXCEPTIONAL professional who makes you feel completely at ease.
Dr. Ismail and his team have a unique way of making you feel safe and genuinely looked after. Their dedication and attention to detail are truly remarkable. When I was searching for a clinic for my implant placement, I'm so glad I found and chose Sanart Dental Studio.
They are truly unique!💎
Thank you all very much for looking after me so well today. 💖
I'm genuinely looking forward to my next visit.

Just back from my first visit.
Lovely team, all very friendly and efficient.
Discussed options via WhatsApp initially with guide prices.
Say one picked up at airport by one of the two great drivers who shuttled me back and fore to the clinic from the complimentary hotel.
3d scan within 20 minutes of arrival then talked through and agreed plan.
Needed all on 6 implants top and bottom as we thought.
Next day my teeth were all out within 10 minutes of anaesthetic!
Really minimal pain over the 4 days - only actually in the chair for a matter of hours everything is so well planned and executed.
Paid half agreed cost initially, rest due on my return visit.
Now home, temporary lower set is fixed in place, feeling good, gums healed up nicely.
Looking forward to my return visit in 4 months for my final fitting.
If you're considering treatment at Sanart I would highly recommend it.
Great team, from reception staff through the drivers to the Dentists and support team. All play their part and do it so well.
Thanks Sanart team for the great work so far. See you in October...!

Thank you very much and keep up the good work!
