Zur Invisalign-Behandlung Coverage by health insurance Statutory health insurance (GKV) Statutory health insurance funds generally do not cover the cost of Invisalign therapy. This is because Invisalign is classified as an alternative treatment method to conventional braces. For children and adolescents, statutory insurance covers orthodontic treatment only with standard appliances such as metal brackets. An exception for adults applies only if there is a severe jaw anomaly that additionally requires surgical treatment – in these cases the therapy is usually covered with fixed braces. Private health insurance (PKV) For patients with private health insurance, coverage is often possible: For children: often good chances if medical necessity is documented For adults: depending on your individual plan and the terms of your supplementary dental insurance, which may provide reimbursement We are happy to support you with the application by providing detailed documentation Supplementary dental insurance Depending on your plan, partial coverage of Invisalign therapy is possible, which can considerably reduce the treatment costs.
