Question 2

Does health insurance cover braces for children and adults?

Accepted Answer

In Austria, health insurance covers part of the costs for children and adolescents (up to 18 years) under certain conditions (e.g., severe dental misalignment). For adults, insurance coverage is rare and usually only possible when medically necessary. Private supplementary insurance can provide additional coverage. The exact coverage is individual. Registered patients receive specific insurance clarification in the login area.

Question 3

How can I save on braces costs?

Accepted Answer

Several strategies reduce costs: 1) Fully utilize health insurance benefits. 2) Choose metal brackets instead of ceramic or aligners – they're cheaper. 3) Shorter treatment duration saves costs – early orthodontics is more efficient. 4) Check private supplementary insurance. 5) Ask about installment payment plans. 6) Compare different practices. A consultation clarifies how you can achieve optimal results cost-effectively.

Question 4

Do ceramic brackets and aligners cost significantly more than metal brackets?

Accepted Answer

Yes, typically. Metal brackets are the most cost-effective system. Ceramic brackets cost about 20–30% more due to material and craftsmanship. Aligners (invisible trays) are often the most expensive system – costing 2–3x more than metal brackets. The higher costs reflect material, digital technology and individual fabrication. Payment options and insurance coverage help offset costs. A dentist advises on the best cost solution.

Question 5

Do you offer installment payment options for braces?

Accepted Answer

Yes, many dental practices in Vienna offer installment payment plans to spread braces costs over the treatment duration (typically 18–30 months). This makes treatment more financially accessible. Options include: monthly installments, financing partners or dental supplementary insurance with installment options.
