Looking for orthodontic insurance in Spain? Orthodontic treatment can be a major cost for families, teenagers and adults — braces, aligners, scans, retainers and regular adjustments all add up. Sanitas Dental insurance can help by giving you access to Dental Milenium clinics, orthodontic assessments, included dental services and reduced treatment prices. Orthodontic treatment is not usually completely free with dental insurance, but a Sanitas dental policy can help reduce costs and make treatment easier to plan.
Sanitas — part of the Bupa group — offers two dental insurance options. Sanitas Dental Milenium (€12.20/mo, 54 services) is built around Sanitas' own Dental Milenium clinic network. Sanitas Dental Premium (€19.90/mo, 72 services) adds endodontics, periodontal treatment and a wider associated network. Both include Blua digital health and up to 40% reduced prices on additional treatments.
Does it cover this?
Dental insurance can help with orthodontics, but it is important to understand the structure.
Orthodontic treatment often involves more than one appointment. It may include: initial consultation, orthodontic assessment, X-rays or scans, treatment planning, braces or aligners, monthly adjustments, retainers, follow-up visits and long-term monitoring.
Some diagnostic or assessment services may be included or reduced-price, while the orthodontic treatment itself may be available at reduced Sanitas prices rather than fully included.
Before starting orthodontics, always ask for a written treatment plan and total price.
Treatment context
Children and teenagers are one of the biggest reasons families look for dental insurance in Spain. Orthodontic assessment can identify issues with bite, spacing, crowding or jaw development. A family dental policy may help with:
If more than one child may need treatment, comparing dental cover early can make sense.
Plan choice
There's no single right answer — it depends on how often you expect to use dental care, whether you're happy with the Dental Milenium clinic network, and how much cover you want.
€12.20/month — focused on Dental Milenium clinics
€19.90/month — wider associated network
For Milenium: For orthodontics, the key benefit is access to the network and reduced prices, not fully free treatment.
For Premium: Dental Premium may be a stronger option if orthodontics is part of a wider family dental plan.
Pricing explained
Adult orthodontics is increasingly common in Spain. Many adults consider braces or aligners for cosmetic, comfort or bite-related reasons. Dental insurance may help adults access orthodontic assessments and reduced prices for treatment through the Sanitas dental network. For example, your plan may include or reduce the cost of:
More complex treatments may be available at reduced Sanitas prices rather than fully included — a structural part of the policy, not a temporary promotion. The exact reduction depends on the treatment and clinic.
Always check whether the treatment is included, reduced-price or fully private before starting. Before starting orthodontics, ask:
Treatment focus
Orthodontic treatment can include different options — each with different cost, comfort and visibility profiles.
The cost depends on the type of treatment, length of treatment and complexity of the case.
Alternatives
Orthodontics is often part of a wider family dental plan. While treatment is happening, regular check-ups, hygiene, fillings and emergency care still matter. A family dental policy can help organise all of this through one Sanitas dental network.
Combining orthodontics with broader family dental care often works better than buying orthodontic-only cover.
