The study of the etiology, pathogenesis, prevalence of dentoalveolar anomalies and deformations is of scientific and practical interest. The article examines the comparative characteristics of the dental status of students of budgetary educational institutions and inmates of orphanages and boarding schools in the city of Moscow. Due to the lack of a sufficient number of orthodontists in the states of budgetary educational institutions, orphanages and boarding schools, the only way to increase the availability of orthodontic care is to develop comprehensive prevention programs in this area.
