Between the ages of 6 and 8, certain treatments can play a preventive role, particularly in promoting palate development.

Depending on dental development, additional treatment may be considered during adolescence.

Frequently asked questions
As each case is different and each patient has a personalized treatment, fees vary from one patient to another.
At Dr. Ellouze’s clinic, we set the price of your treatment only after your second appointment. With the information collected during this appointment, Dr. Ellouze can, at your third visit, propose a treatment and estimate its duration and cost.
It is important to distinguish between the different types of costs:
- Costs related to consultation, X-rays, and dental impressions
- Costs related to the doctor’s fees
- Costs related to the materials placed in the mouth (depending on the type of appliance)
- Costs related to procedures that may be required during treatment and are not included in the initial treatment plan
- Costs related to follow-up consultations during passive treatment
A financing plan will be proposed based on your preferences. It is also possible to have part of these costs reimbursed by your private insurance.
In Tunisia, the National Social Security Fund (CNSS) reimburses your expenses up to 337 dinars per year. Private insurance companies are more generous with reimbursements; contact your insurer for more information.
Dental chair sessions are not very painful. However, your teeth may remain sensitive for a few days after each appointment. You can relieve this discomfort with painkillers prescribed by your orthodontist and with a diet adapted to your teeth’s mobility, which is the source of this sensitivity.
Each case is unique and each patient receives a personalized evaluation of the duration of their treatment. Dr. Ellouze nevertheless commits not to exceed 18 months of treatment for most cases. This, of course, depends on the patient’s diligence in attending appointments.
The best treatment is the one proposed by your orthodontist. Dr. Ellouze takes the time to define a treatment strategy tailored to each case. Even if he advises you based on his diagnosis, he lets you choose the type of appliance: metal or ceramic, visible or invisible.
Each consultation is organized to examine the orthodontic situation and plan follow-up care according to clinical needs.
