Which dental problems are clear aligners suitable for?

Aligners work well for mild to moderate misalignment, such as overlapping teeth, gaps between teeth or teeth that have shifted back after earlier braces. For complex bite or jaw problems, a different treatment or an orthodontist is more suitable; we assess this during the consultation.

How long does aligner treatment take on average?

Minor corrections can be completed within a few months; more extensive treatments often take a year or longer. After the digital scan, you receive an estimate for your situation.

How many hours a day do I need to wear my aligners?

For a good result, you wear the aligners 20 to 22 hours a day. You only take them out to eat, to drink anything other than water, and to brush.

How much does clear aligner treatment cost?

At Florens Tandartsen, aligner treatment costs approximately €2,250 to €3,500, depending on how much correction is needed. You receive a cost estimate in advance. For adults, braces are usually not, or only partly, reimbursed by supplementary insurance.

What is the difference between aligners and traditional fixed braces?

Aligners are clear and removable, which makes eating and brushing easier. Fixed braces stay in place and also work for more complex tooth movements, but are more visible. Which is most suitable depends on your teeth; we discuss this during the consultation.

Clear aligners in Amsterdam West

Clear aligners

With clear, removable aligners, you can straighten crooked teeth without brackets and wires. The aligners are barely visible and you take them out to eat and brush. At Florens Tandartsen, aligner treatments are carried out by dentist Vincent Nugteren, who has a special interest in these treatments. We work with Ordoline.

Who are clear aligners suitable for?

Aligners are particularly suitable for mild to moderate misalignment in adults and older teenagers: overlapping teeth, gaps between teeth, or teeth that have shifted again after previous braces. For complex bite or jaw problems, we refer you to an orthodontist.

What does the treatment involve?

1. Consultation and scan. We discuss your wishes and use the intraoral scanner to make a digital 3D impression of your teeth, so no impression material in your mouth.

2. Digital treatment plan. You see in advance how your teeth will move step by step and what the expected end result is.

3. Wearing the aligners. You receive a series of aligners and switch to the next one every 1 to 2 weeks. Sometimes we place small tooth-coloured bumps (attachments) to help the teeth move better.

4. Check-ups. Roughly every 4 to 6 weeks, you come in for a check-up to review progress.

5. Keeping the result. After treatment, you receive a retainer wire behind your teeth and/or a night-time retainer, so your teeth do not shift back.

Costs and insurance

Aligner treatment at our practice costs approximately €2,250 to €3,500, depending on complexity. You receive a cost estimate in advance. Orthodontic treatment for adults is usually not reimbursed; some supplementary policies offer limited cover for orthodontics. For children, too, orthodontics is not covered by basic health insurance.
