Moons is a Mexico City founded (2019) dental healthtech brand and one of Latin America's largest clear-aligner companies, having treated more than 40,000 patients and raised about US$9M (Y Combinator, DILA Capital, Magma Partners). It runs a hybrid model: patients get a free in-clinic 3D scan and orthodontist diagnosis at a Moons clinic, allied dental practice or partner center, then wear 3D-printed aligners at home with remote monitoring plus periodic in-person visits on higher tiers. Mexican prices start from MXN $27,990, subject to diagnosis and the clinic chosen, and include all the aligners needed, a spare aligner set, a spare retainer set and one refinement if needed (follow-up consultations may cost extra). Typical treatment runs 6 to 10 months. Sources

What it treats

What it can treat

In Moons's own words: Crowding; Spacing and gaps; Rotations; Malocclusion (mild to complex, with attachments). Sources

Custom clear aligner trays set up from an in-clinic 3D intraoral scan and an orthodontist's plan, then worn at home. Aligners are 3D-printed from a BPA-free polyurethane thermopolymer, fully transparent, and delivered upfront so teeth move incrementally across the plan, with remote monitoring and follow-up visits set by the treating orthodontist.

Dental bodies caution against straightening teeth without an in-person exam

The American Dental Association maintains a standing policy discouraging direct-to-consumer teeth straightening, reaffirmed in December 2023 on patient-safety grounds. The American Association of Orthodontists holds that treatment should be under the in-person supervision of a licensed orthodontist, warns that moving teeth without an exam and X-rays can miss gum disease or cavities and cause irreversible, expensive harm (bone and tooth loss, receding gums, changed bites), and urges patients to report problems to the FDA. See a dentist before starting, and stop and seek care if you notice pain, looseness, or bleeding.

Reported harms in the FDA device adverse-event database

Thousands of adverse-event reports have been filed with the FDA under the sequential clear-aligner product code (NXC), the large majority coded as injuries, spanning both in-office and at-home brands. A peer-reviewed analysis of the NXC reports filed from 2010 to 2020 (651 reports, 104 of them involving direct-to-consumer aligners) found the direct-to-consumer reports dominated by bite problems (41.3%), orofacial pain (29.8%) and periodontal harm (26.6%) such as loose teeth, gum recession and bone loss, with tooth sensitivity, jaw (TMJ) problems, fractured teeth and tooth loss also reported; the authors note that some of these harms are irreversible. These are unverified spontaneous reports, not incidence rates, and do not establish that any device caused the event, but they underline why an in-person check and professional oversight matter.
