For patients who prioritise discretion, clear aligners are an effective alternative to traditional braces. Plenty of patients across Moscow choose them precisely because day-to-day life barely changes. The trays are made in advance from a 3D plan, and you progress through them a fortnight at a time. For straightforward to moderately complex cases, results can match fixed braces.
Are You a Suitable Candidate for Clear Aligners in Moscow?
They work well for mild-to-moderate crowding, spacing and bite correction. Cases needing large vertical movements or with significant skeletal discrepancy usually do better with fixed appliances.

The reliable way to confirm suitability is a consultation with an orthodontist in Moscow. Many practices offer a free initial assessment or photo-based screening to give you a preliminary view before you book.
