Orthodontic treatment costs in Moscow vary widely by treatment type, case complexity and practice. What's included in a quote matters as much as the headline figure when you compare providers. Below we break down NHS and private pricing and the finance options available locally.
Paying for Orthodontic Treatment in Moscow
Most private orthodontic practices in Moscow offer payment plans — typically 0% or low-interest monthly instalments spread over the course of treatment (usually 12–24 months). This makes private treatment much more financially accessible. A deposit of 10–25% of the total fee is usually required to start treatment, with the balance spread over equal monthly payments.
Always check whether the payment plan is in-house (directly with the practice) or through a finance provider such as Chrysalis Finance or Medenta. In-house plans typically have no credit check; third-party finance plans involve a formal credit application.
Cost Context for Moscow
Expect private full fixed brace treatment costs in Moscow to fall roughly between £1,500 and £5,500. Straightforward crowding or spacing cases often suit aligners; more involved bite corrections are more often treated with fixed braces.
What's available in Moscow depends on the practice, so it's worth checking directly what each one offers. Moscow is classified as accessible Rural, and NHS dental commissioning here falls under NHS Ayrshire and Arran. With 14 orthodontic practices within five miles, Moscow is better served than 79% of towns in Scotland. Moscow sits close to the Scotland average for deprivation. For hospital-based orthodontic care, Moscow is about 17 miles from Glasgow Dental Hospital in Glasgow. See local practice availability in Moscow → Costs can vary significantly between providers — getting two or three quotes and comparing what's included (retainers, refinements, both arches) before committing is strongly recommended.

| Private metal braces | £1,500–£3,500 | No waiting list. Full arch treatment. Retainers included in good practices. |
| Ceramic braces | £2,000–£4,500 | Tooth-coloured brackets. More discreet than metal. Not NHS-available. |
| Clear aligners (non-Invisalign) | £1,500–£4,500 | Wide range by brand and complexity. Confirm refinements and retainers are included. |
| Invisalign Lite | £2,500–£3,500 | Mild cases only. Limited refinements. |
| Invisalign Comprehensive | £3,500–£5,500 | Moderate to complex. Unlimited refinements within treatment cycle. |
