Results and Discussion: According to respondents, the quality of service in both public and private dental organizations depends on the material and technical equipment of the medical organization, the attitude of medical personnel, the duration of treatment and the qualifications of orthodontists. Satisfaction of orthodontic care in public dental organizations corresponded to a high level in 73.4% of cases, an average level of 15.6% of cases, a low level in 11.0% of cases; in private dental organizations, a high level was noted in 98.8% of cases, an average level in 1.2% of cases, a low level in 0% of cases (in private dental organizations, not a single respondent noted the quality of services provided as low).
