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.<\/p>\n
1. Consultation and scan.<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n 2. Digital treatment plan.<\/strong> You see in advance how your teeth will move step by step and what the expected end result is.<\/p>\n 3. Wearing the aligners.<\/strong> 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.<\/p>\n 4. Check-ups.<\/strong> Roughly every 4 to 6 weeks, you come in for a check-up to review progress.<\/p>\n 5. Keeping the result.<\/strong> After treatment, you receive a retainer wire behind your teeth and\/or a night-time retainer, so your teeth do not shift back.<\/p>\n Aligner treatment at our practice costs approximately \u20ac2,250 to \u20ac3,500, 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.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Voor wie is een doorzichtige beugel geschikt?
