Braces for children and teenagers

Children and adolescents should see an orthodontist in good time in order to counteract possible misalignments at an early stage. Please note the following approximate ages.

3 years

Prolonged sucking on a pacifier or thumb can lead to orthopaedic problems in children. Sometimes orthodontic treatment can be useful and necessary at an early stage.

10 years

Prolonged sucking on a pacifier or thumb can lead to orthopaedic problems in children. Sometimes orthodontic treatment can be useful and necessary at an early stage.

4-6 years

In case of incorrect speech, swallowing, a frequently open mouth and persistent thumb or finger sucking.

12 years

Only rarely does it make sense to start treatment for a malocclusion after the age of 12. Only in very rare cases should treatment be carried out after completion of growth at the age of 14-18.

6-7 years

For underbites, very pronounced overbites, open bites, cross bites, very deep bites with pain, joint cracking, missing milk incisors and extremely crowded incisors.

Adults

Today, orthodontic treatment can also be carried out in adulthood to achieve functional and aesthetic improvements.

FAQ:
Orthodontics for adults

What does the insurance pay?

Statutory health insurance only covers necessary orthodontic treatment to correct impairments in chewing, biting, speaking or breathing.

Higher-value services for optimal care are therefore not usually included. Nevertheless, insured persons have the opportunity to choose the best possible orthodontic treatment for their children.
What costs will we incur?

Initially, we will talk to you about the various treatment options and we will draw up a personalised treatment plan based on the medical necessities, your child’s needs and your individual wishes.

This offer is non-binding. This ensures that your child receives the medical care it needs and that your wishes are taken into account.
Why AVL?

By selecting non-contractual services, you can choose from all modern orthodontic materials, treatment systems and therapy concepts for your child and thus receive the most comfortable, gentle and medically sensible treatment for your child. Non-contractual services include, for example, measures that serve to

– ensure that your child enjoys their braces (customised design).
– increase comfort during treatment.
– Shorten the duration of treatment and protect against the increased risk of caries during treatment.
– reduce the strain on the temporomandibular joint.
– to achieve a functionally optimised result.
– to achieve an aesthetically optimised result.
– stabilise the treatment result in the long term.
Are there supplementary insurances that step in?

If you wish, you can take out supplementary insurance for services that are not covered by statutory health insurance before the initial orthodontic examination. This is possible if the malocclusion has not already been diagnosed by another doctor (e.g. family dentist, school dentist or paediatrician).

Please note that the insurance provides for a waiting period of approximately 8 months, during which no need for treatment may be identified in order to be entitled to benefits. You should also be aware of possible contractual graduated regulations that govern reimbursements over a period of up to 5 years.
For private patients and subsidies

Für Privatpatienten und Beihilfeberechtigte deckt die GOZ von 2012 bei festen Zahnspangen nur Standardmaterial ab. Zusätzliche Materialien sind als Eigeninvestition möglich. Oft erstatten private Krankenversicherungen Zahnspangen nur teilweise, was zu Eigenanteilen führt. Es wird empfohlen, vor Erstterminen die prozentuale Erstattung zu überprüfen und anzupassen.

Medizinisch notwendige Frühbehandlungen bei unter 9-Jährigen werden seit Mai 2015 nicht mehr von der Bundesbeihilfe erstattet. Die Erstattung hängt nicht von der medizinischen Notwendigkeit, sondern von der versicherungstechnischen Erheblichkeit ab.

Beihilfeberechtigte Eltern sollten den Versicherungsumfang und Beihilfeanspruch für Frühbehandlungen vor dem Ersttermin prüfen. Private Krankenversicherungen und ergänzende private Teilversicherungen von Beihilfeberechtigten sind von dieser Regelung aktuell nicht betroffen.
