Your English-Speaking Orthodontist in Luxembourg City
Looking for an orthodontist in Luxembourg who speaks English? At Dentalplus in Bonnevoie, a short walk from Luxembourg's central station, four practitioners provide orthodontic care for children, teenagers and adults — metal braces, ceramic braces and Invisalign clear aligners. Every treatment starts with a full assessment and a clear quote. We are open 7 days a week — and used to helping newcomers navigate the Luxembourg health system, CNS paperwork included.
Why straighten your teeth?
Orthodontics is about more than a confident smile. A malocclusion — when upper and lower teeth don't meet properly — can show up as crowding, gap teeth, a pronounced overbite or an open bite. Misaligned teeth are harder to clean, which raises the risk of cavities and gum inflammation; they can also wear unevenly, make chewing less comfortable and affect self-confidence.
Correcting your bite is an investment in your whole mouth: an orthodontic assessment tells you where you stand — and whether treatment makes sense in your case.
Our orthodontic treatments
There is no single "best" brace — only the right one for your teeth, your age and your lifestyle. Our team in Luxembourg-Bonnevoie plans every treatment with modern equipment: digital 3D scans (no messy impression trays) and a CBCT scanner when detailed imaging is needed.
Metal braces: the proven classic
Fixed metal brackets bonded to the teeth, connected by an archwire and sometimes supported by elastics, apply gentle, continuous forces. The most versatile option, they handle even complex cases — which is why they are still the go-to choice for many children and teens.
Ceramic braces: the discreet fixed option
Same mechanics, same reliability, but with tooth-coloured ceramic brackets that blend into your smile. A popular choice for adults who need a fixed appliance but would rather not show it off in meetings.
Invisalign clear aligners
Invisalign clear aligners are transparent, removable trays, custom-made from a digital 3D scan of your teeth. Worn day and night and taken out only for meals and brushing, they move your teeth step by step, following a plan mapped out in advance. Hardly anyone will notice you are wearing them. Read our article on why patients choose Invisalign clear aligners(in French).
Orthodontics for children and teenagers
A first orthodontic check-up around age 7 to 9 is a smart habit, even if everything looks fine: during growth, some misalignments can be intercepted before they settle in. Key fact for parents in Luxembourg: the CNS covers orthodontic treatment that starts before your child's 17th birthday (details below).
Our practitioners take time to reassure young patients — in English. And as an orthodontist for kids open on Saturdays and Sundays in Luxembourg, we schedule follow-up visits so nobody misses school — or a workday.

Adult braces: it's never too late
More and more adults in Luxembourg start orthodontic treatment — to improve aesthetics, prepare for restorative work, rebalance their bite or make daily cleaning easier. Adult braces come in discreet forms: clear aligners or ceramic braces, both compatible with a busy professional life. Looking for a second opinion on a treatment plan received elsewhere? You are welcome to discuss it with our team. For background, see what adults should know about orthodontic appliances(in French).
What to expect: your treatment step by step
From the first consultation to retention, here is how treatment works at Dentalplus. For a feel of daily life, read what living with clear aligners is really like(in French).
1. Consultation and orthodontic assessment
A clinical examination, panoramic X-ray and cephalometric analysis where needed, completed by a digital 3D scan — and our CBCT scanner for detailed imaging. The result: a precise diagnosis of your malocclusion.
2. Treatment plan and quote
Your orthodontist walks you through the suitable options (braces or aligners), the estimated duration and a detailed personal quote — with no obligation. For eligible treatments, we prepare the CMSS prior-authorisation request with you; treatment must then start within 12 months of approval.
3. Active treatment and follow-up
The active phase takes 12 to 30 months on average, depending on the complexity of the case, with check-ups every 4 to 8 weeks. We also coach you on hygiene with an appliance: brushing technique, interdental brushes, what to avoid eating with braces.
4. Retention: keeping your new smile stable
Teeth have a "memory" of their old position. To prevent relapse, a discreet retainer wire bonded behind the teeth and/or a removable night-time retainer keep the result stable. Retention is an integral part of the treatment, not an optional extra.
Braces cost and reimbursement in Luxembourg
How much do braces or Invisalign cost in Luxembourg? There is no flat rate: the price depends on the complexity of your malocclusion, the technique you choose and the length of treatment. You always receive a personalised quote after your assessment, before committing to anything — and a complementary insurance may cover part of the remainder.
Just arrived? Here is the short version. The CNS (Caisse Nationale de Santé) is Luxembourg's national health fund — if you work here, you and your dependants are normally affiliated. For orthodontics, the rules are precise:
- the CNS covers treatment that starts before the patient's 17th birthday;
- reimbursement is 100% of the official fee schedule (the "nomenclature") if the child is under 18 when the fees are submitted, and 88% after that;
- prior authorisation from the CMSS (the social security medical board) is required for most treatments — and treatment must begin within 12 months of that authorisation;
- billing happens in stages, reimbursed pro rata as treatment progresses.
In practice, we prepare the CMSS paperwork with you and explain each step in plain English. A complementary insurance (such as the CMCM) may top up the coverage, especially for adults. You can online booking page to get started.

Frequently asked questions about orthodontics
There is no flat rate: the cost depends on the technique and the complexity of your case, so you receive a personalised quote after your assessment. The CNS covers treatment starting before age 17 — 100% of the official fee schedule under 18, 88% after — with prior CMSS authorisation required.
Treatment must start before your child's 17th birthday to qualify for CNS coverage. Don't wait until then, though: a first orthodontic check-up around age 7 to 9 lets us spot developing issues early, while growth still makes some corrections simpler to manage.
Active treatment takes 12 to 30 months on average, depending on the complexity of the case and the technique used, with check-ups every 4 to 8 weeks. A retention phase follows, using a discreet retainer wire or removable tray to keep your teeth stable in their new position.
Clear aligners are nearly invisible and removable, but they demand disciplined daily wear; fixed braces suit a wider range of cases, including complex ones. The right choice depends on your malocclusion, your budget and your habits — something we assess case by case during your orthodontic consultation.
Some sensitivity for a few days after fitting or an adjustment is normal — it simply means your teeth are moving. Soft foods and, if needed, a mild painkiller recommended by your practitioner usually keep it very manageable. Neither braces nor aligners cause permanent pain during treatment.
Don't panic — call us on (+352) 27 52 18 25 and we will fit you in quickly. We are open 7 days a week, weekends included, and our 7/7 dental emergency service is there if it is more than a quick fix. If you lose an aligner, wear the previous one until we see you.
