No, a dental referral is not required to start aligner treatment.

The aligner consultation consists of several steps:

1. You will receive a digital brochure about aligners from us. Please read this carefully prior to the aligner day. So you already know more about the braces and treatment.
2. When you arrive at the practice, you will fill out a health questionnaire. That way we know what we may need to consider.
3. During the consultation, the aligner specialist will see if an aligner is the right brace for you. If so, you can choose to proceed directly. Then we will make a 3D scan, X-rays and you will receive a personal treatment plan with cost overview, completely tailored to your teeth and wishes.
4. Upon approval, an appointment will be scheduled for the placement of the aligners. Of course, you don't have to decide right away if you want to go into the treatment process.

Bring your ID proof to the aligner day.

Yes, there are. Before you can start aligner treatment, it is important that you can answer "yes" to the questions below:

• Have you been to the dentist recently?

• Are your gums healthy?

• Do you have no cavities or inflammation?

Do you have to answer "no" to any of the questions? If so, make an appointment with your dentist first.

With each new aligner, your teeth may become a little sensitive. The aligner is then tighter. After a few days you will have no more trouble with this.

The cost of an aligner brace varies from person to person. The cost of an aligner brace is usually between €1,500 and €2,500. After the first consultation you will receive a personalized cost overview. You can possibly pay for the treatment in installments free of charge through Infomedics.

Orthodontics is usually not covered by the basic insurance (including children up to 18 years of age). However, you can get supplementary insurance for orthodontics. Do you have supplementary insurance? Then it is possible that part of the costs (approximately € 1,000 to € 2,500) will be reimbursed. Please contact your health insurance company.

Treatment lasts between six months and two years. The exact length of treatment depends on the size of the correction and whether the braces are worn enough, among other things.
