Why is it more expensive to visit an orthodontist than it is to visit a dentist?
The price is based on how challenging the treatment is and thus how long it takes to finish. It’s quicker to straighten teeth for aesthetic reasons than to enhance the bite. Please see below the Index of Treatment Need for further information.
Why should I choose an orthodontist?
An orthodontist has gone through three years of studies in adjusting the bite. It’s very important to have a good bite, as a less ideal bite can lead to head and neck aches. Having the experience of orthodontic treatments allows to estimate realistic goals and to plan for a faster, more efficient treatment.
Kela only reimburses orthodontic treatment in very complex cases where orthognathic surgery is required.
Orthodontic treatment may be covered by your employer. More information about oppupational health services.

The first 4000€ fee is due when the 3D pictures are taken. The next installment (approximately 1300€) is due after nine months, and the last invoice is paid at the end of the treatment.
