Kieferorthopädie Wien – Zahnspange
Since July 2015 there are new rules for free braces!
As a qualified ÖGK orthodontist, I also offer free braces. This means patients receive 80% – 100% of the health insurance tariff refunded.
Children and young people are entitled to this during and after the change of teeth and up to the age of 18.

If there is a severity misalignment of IOTN 4 or IOTN 5, then you are entitled to a refund for the braces. However, these “free braces” for children have one important requirement: only fixed metal braces may be used during the free braces treatment! [/caption]
TIP: Even if the severity of the misalignment (IOTN) has already been determined, I always recommend consulting your health insurance company.
The duration of treatment for fixed/removable free braces obviously depends on the severity of the tooth misalignment.
Duration: Treatment with fixed free braces takes around 18-24 months .
The removable free braces are only helpful if they are worn for at least 12-14 hours per day.
Treatment duration 1 year.
Depending on the severity of the tooth misalignment and the type of treatment, health insurance companies or supplementary insurance companies will reimburse parts of the treatment!
