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.
Free braces in vienna, requirements and your right to reimbursement.
Children and young people are entitled to this during and after the change of teeth and up to the age of 18.
Teeth Straightening, Free Braces Fixed or Removable Requirements:
-There must be a severe misalignment of teeth and/or jaw misalignment in order to be entitled to free braces.
-The correction must be necessary for medical reasons (IOTN 4 or 5). This will be determined in an initial consultation. Severity determination:Make an appointment for an initial consultation
-Before treatment begins (free braces), an application must be submitted to the health insurance company. If your case is positive, 80-100% of the health insurance tariff for the fixed free braces will be refunded.
Tip: Contact your health insurance company before treatment begins .
-Executed exclusively with metal brackets.
Additional payments for ceramic brackets, for example, are not permitted by the health insurance company.
Notice!
If there is a misalignment – severity IOTN 4 or 5, but parents want to offer their children an alternative option (without a subsidy from the health insurance company) to free braces: then we offer:
Free braces, interceptive treatment in the mixed dentition phase
In the Mixed dentition (Explanatory external link), a treatment suitable for children between 6 and 10 years old. This is an early phase treatment. A limited treatment in primary or mixed dentition.
Duration of treatment: maximum 1 year.
Then there is a break. Regular checks are then carried out every 4-6 months.
Why is that so? Because children lose baby teeth during this phase and their permanent teeth are just emerging. At the age of 12-13, children are checked again to determine whether they need further teeth adjustment. If so, children are treated with fixed braces.
Jaw tooth misalignments that absolutely require treatment:
-Habits
-Or bad habits that cause jaw or tooth misalignment e.g. tongue thrusting, incorrect swallowing patterns, thumb sucking, pressing lips, biting fingernails, etc.
–Crossbite laterally on both sides or one side. Crossbite front teeth /Progenic compulsive bite
Front Open Bite
Lack of space due to various reasons or early loss of milk teeth
Free braces, the main treatment in permanent teeth fixed braces
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
The removable free braces are only helpful if they are worn for at least 12-14 hours per day.
Treatment duration 1 year.
