STATUTORY HEALTH INSURANCE
Statutory health insurance until 18 years
The german statutory health insurance has had a guideline for children and teenager under 18 years since 2002, the orthodontic indication group KIG. Before orthodontic treatment the tooth and jaw misalignment is classified into this 5-stage system. Statutory health insurance companies only cover a part of the costs of orthodontic treatment from KIG level 3 onwards. With KIG levels 1 and 2, the treatment costs must be borne by yurself/privately, even if the treatment is medically necessary from an orthodontic perspective. The classification of tooth misalignments is based on precisely measurable criteria, is registered by the health insurance companies and randomly checked by experts.
Coverage of costs by statutory health insurance after the age of 18 years
The costs of orthodontic treatment for patients over 18 are only covered in certain exceptional cases. In severe treatment cases in which orthodontic therapy must be combined with jaw surgery treatment (dysgnathie treatment), the statutory health insurance companies will continue to cover a part of the costs even after the age of 18. All other orthodontic treatments, whether with clear aligners or internal or external fixed braces, must be paid privately.
