Costs of Invisible Braces

Initial consultation is free of charge.

Unfortunately, health insurances do not cover part of the costs for invisible braces. Invisible braces always have to be paid privately and also do not fall into the category of “Gratis Zahnspange”. Depending on the duration of therapy and the severity of the misalignment concerned, the total costs amount to € 4,000.00 to € 7,500.00.
For private insurances it depends on the respective provider, which costs of the orthodontic treatment will be covered, which should be clarified before the start of treatment.

Costs Removable Braces

Initial consultation is free of charge.

Theoretically, the health insurances will contribute to the costs of removable braces, but since the introduction of the “Gratis Zahnspange” they will usually no longer be approved by the health insurances. If the health insurance pays part of the costs, the deductible amounts to approx. € 500.00. In the case of non-approval by the health insurance you have to expect to pay approx. € 1,200.00 for the treatment.

For private insurances it depends on the provider, which costs of the orthodontic treatment will be covered, which should be clarified prior to the start of treatment.
