Adult orthodontics

Free orthodontic treatment for adults

The Health Insurance Fund pays for the orthodontic treatment of adults with cleft lip and palate, other congenital malformations of the maxillofacial system and a rare disease if:

• surgical treatment cannot be planned before the age of 19;
• a doctor has decided that it is necessary due to the condition to delay orthodontic treatment until the end of the developmental phase of the maxillofacial system.

The service can be used only at  dental care institutions that have entered into a contract with the Health Insurance Fund.

The right to receive the service is decided by the attending physician. To access the service, a longer than usual waiting time must be taken into account.
