Dental office Orthodontie Heist

Dental office Orthodontie Heist


Orthodontie Heist is a dental office which is exclusively specialized in orthodontics and orthodontic treatments for children and adults.

Orthodontics is a registered specialized branch of dentistry concerned with the prevention and cure of various irregularities of the jaws and teeth. The goal of an orthodontic treatment is to ensure a beautiful and functional smile. To achieve this, the orthodontist only focuses on the diagnosis, prevention, and treatment of dental and facial irregularities as e.g. misaligned teeth and problems with jaw relationships.

A (specialist) orthodontist is a registered title. After the university study of Dentistry, an orthodontist followed a supplementary 4-year specialized university training programme in Orthodontics. The RIZIV number of a registered orthodontist always ends with -007. You can verify the RIZIV number of your practitioner via the website of RIZIV.

The orthodontist works as a non-conventional care provider. She determines her own rates, which are usually not fully covered by the health insurance funds. You will receive a custom-made price offer of the proposed treatment options during the discussion of the treatment plan, before the start of the orthodontic treatment. If possible, the reimbursement by the health insurance funds will be mentioned.
