Fehlentwicklungen bei Kindern rechtzeitig erkennen

Ab einem Alter von sechs Jahren können Kind einmal in jedem Kalenderhalbjahr vorsorglich und kostenfrei vom Zahnarzt untersucht werden. Fehlentwicklungen können so frühzeitig erkannt und mit der Überweisung zum Kieferorthopäden rechtzeitig behandelt werden.

Frequently asked questions

Your orthodontist uses orthodontic indication groups (KIG) to determine whether there is a malocclusion for which treatment costs are covered by statutory health insurance. There are five different degrees of severity.

From KIG three, the BKK W&F may cover the costs of orthodontic treatment due to significant functional impairments caused by jaw and tooth misalignments up to the age of 18. If treatment begins after the age of 18, this is also possible in the case of severe jaw anomalies.

The 20 percent co-payment initially due to the orthodontist (or 10 percent from the second child with simultaneous treatment) will be reimbursed by us after successful completion of the treatment.

This also applies if the treatment was started with another health insurance fund and membership in the BKK W&F only exists at the conclusion of the treatment.
