Van Zanden Orthodontie

What Van Zanden Orthodontie does

Van Zanden Orthodontie is a privately held orthodontic practice operating since 1994 across two clinic locations in Vlaardingen (headquarters, Reigerlaan 53) and Maassluis (Lange Boonestraat 10) in the Rotterdam-The Hague metropolitan area of the Netherlands, serving the Vlaardingen, Schiedam, and Maassluis catchment. The practice delivers orthodontic treatment to two primary segments: youth/teenagers requiring bite correction and jaw development intervention, and adults seeking aesthetic alignment solutions. Core services include Invisalign and Angel Aligner clear aligner systems, fixed metal brackets (slotjesbeugel), tooth-colored ceramic brackets, custom removable appliances produced in collaboration with an external laboratory, and post-treatment retention devices (fixed wire splints and transparent O.I.R. retainers). Diagnostic and treatment-planning workflows rely on a 3D digital scanner that eliminates physical bite impressions, with 3D outcome simulation offered to aligner patients. Treatment durations typically span 12-18 months for youth and up to 18 months for adults.

The practice operates under the Dutch regulated tariff system (NZA), which standardizes orthodontic pricing nationwide. Revenue flows through InfoMedics, a factoring partner that handles invoicing and collections; patients pay only the uninsured portion directly and may opt for installment payment plans. The clinical team comprises approximately 12 staff, anchored by a single specialist orthodontist (Rens van Zanden) supported by an oral care specialist, a floor manager/senior practitioner, orthodontic assistants, and reception/back-office personnel. Task delegation is used to scale throughput: trained assistants execute procedures independently under the orthodontist's ultimate clinical responsibility. Patient acquisition runs through a direct-to-consumer motion combining an informational website, online appointment booking, phone/email inquiries, Instagram presence, and Google Reviews (4.3/5.0 across 117 reviews); no dentist referral is required for entry. The practice is certified to ISO 9001, holds the NVVO quality mark, and is a KNMT member.
