Hello
I am asking on behalf of my 14-year-old daughter. She has a gap of about 3-4 mm between the upper and lower central incisors, which bothers her more and more. It is purely an aesthetic irregularity and her bite is correct. Because after visiting the orthodontist for four years we still have not received an answer about how to correct the gap -you only get an appointment once a year- my daughter had a private examination. We were told that she is not entitled to braces because this is a mild irregularity. The price would supposedly be around 3000 Eur. Is it really true that children do not receive braces free of charge? Is there any other way to correct the gap? What would the costs be at your clinic? Thank you very much for your answer!
Dentist Tomaž Rotar answers:
Dear Sir/Madam!
The insurance company covers only the cost of treatment for more severe irregularities. If the irregularity does not have enough points, the patient is self-paying. We can try to correct gaps by building up or reshaping the crowns with composite material. The procedure is reversible and does not require intervention in the hard dental tissues. The price is approximately 56 Eur per tooth that is reshaped.
Have a nice day!
