Our Services

For children under 18 years of age, the statutory health insurance covers all treatment costs subject to the so called KIG system (German abbreviation for: orthodontic indication group), a classification of the different forms of malocclusion. With a certain degree of severity, the health insurance covers the costs of treatment. The patient’s own contribution during treatment will be paid back by the health insurance after the treatment has been completed successfully.

Certain materials and services that comply with the latest standards in orthodontics are not completely covered by the insurance. We offer those as additional materials / services at private expense.
