We charge for our services based on the SSO Dentotar® tariff with a multiplier of 1.00 for adults and children. Orthodontic treatment usually takes more than a year. 

​

The initial examination and consultation costs CHF 105. 

This is followed by a session with further examinations, which costs CHF 1,200. This includes a professional orthodontic examination, photos, X-rays, scans, and a detailed consultation.

​

External services (laboratory costs of the dental technician) and special materials/medications are listed and charged separately.

Cost estimate
The cost estimate for orthodontic treatment is based on the Swiss dental tariff according to SSO as of January 1, 2025. If the treatment costs exceed the cost estimate by more than 15% in order to achieve the desired result, the present cost estimate will be adjusted by means of a supplement after prior notification.
Occasional miscalculations of the treatment costs are usually due to unforeseeable events in the development of the teeth or atypical treatment reactions.
Additional costs must also always be expected if the patient's cooperation is insufficient.
​

Missed appointments that are not canceled in time (at least 24 hours before the appointment) and lost appliances may be charged additionally.
If treatment is terminated prematurely, the services provided will be charged individually on the basis of the dentist's fee schedule and the difference between this and the payments already made will be invoiced or refunded.

Health insurance & costs — Who pays what?

​What does health insurance cover? What do I pay myself?

In most cases, orthodontics is a private service in Switzerland. We explain how the system works here — so you don't get any nasty surprises.

​

Basic insurance (KVG)

Compulsory health insurance does not generally cover orthodontic treatment. An exception is made for severe jaw abnormalities that require surgical treatment. In this case, certain services can be billed — but this applies to a small minority of treatments.

​

Supplementary insurance (VVG)

Many supplementary insurance policies (e.g., CSS, Helsana, Swica, Sanitas, Concordia) contribute to orthodontic treatment – often between 50% and 75% of the costs, up to a maximum annual amount. We recommend that you check your policy before treatment and ask your insurance company directly.

 

We will be happy to provide you with a cost estimate for submission to your insurance company upon request.

 

Children and adolescents

The same rules apply to patients under the age of 18. Supplementary insurance may cover part of the costs, depending on the contract. Important: Many insurance companies require that treatment be started before a certain age (often before the age of 15 or 16). The sooner you find out, the better.

Adults

​

Orthodontic treatment for adults must be financed 100% by the patient – unless your supplementary insurance covers part of the costs. Depending on the complexity of the case, the total cost of treatment for adults ranges between CHF 5,000 and CHF 12,000.

We offer installment payment plans upon request.

 

After a comprehensive consultation with you and once we have the results and evaluations of the orthodontic examination, you will receive our detailed cost estimate. This estimate lists all expected costs in a transparent and comprehensible manner. This allows you to plan for a successful treatment financially.

​

Our transparency

At Orthoboutique, you will receive a complete, written cost estimate after the diagnostic session – before treatment begins.

No hidden items. No surprises.
