To obtain reimbursement for orthodontic expenses, it is essential to take out supplementary dental insurance.\\r\\n\\r\\nHere are some key points about the reimbursement of orthodontic treatment by supplementary insurance companies in Switzerland:\\r\\n\\u003cul\\u003e\\r\\n \\t\\u003cli\\u003eContracts specify the percentage of coverage, which can vary from 50% to 90%, and the remaining amount is paid by the patient.\\u003c\/li\\u003e\\r\\n \\t\\u003cli\\u003eInsurance companies may specify a maximum age for coverage, often between 18 and 25, after which they no longer cover orthodontics.\\u003c\/li\\u003e\\r\\n \\t\\u003cli\\u003eThere may be an annual or total cap on care reimbursement, which limits the amount the insurance will pay in a year or over the entire course of treatment.\\u003c\/li\\u003e\\r\\n\\u003c\/ul\\u003e\\r\\nOn average, supplementary insurances offer 75% reimbursement, with annual ceilings generally varying between CHF 1,000 and CHF 15,000. We recommend that you take out insurance with a maximum coverage of at least CHF 5,000 to ensure that you are properly insured.\\r\\n\\r\\nFor children, reimbursement details may vary, and it is advisable to compare the benefits of different insurance companies. In general, you'll still have to pay part of the costs, even with insurance coverage.\",\"_accordions_4_content\":\"field_626fdd46f47bf\",\"accordions\":5,\"_accordions\":\"field_626fdd1ff47bd\",\"button_button_text\":\"\",\"_button_button_text\":\"field_635b9f5d3ed5e\",\"button_button_link\":\"\",\"_button_button_link\":\"field_635b9f7c3ed5f\",\"button\":\"\",\"_button\":\"field_635b9f2e3ed5d\"},\"mode\":\"edit\"}
