Overview


According to FutureWise analysis the market for clear aligners in 2023 is US$ 5.34 billion, and is expected to reach US$ 44.39 billion by 2031 at a CAGR of 30.30%.

Similar to braces, clear aligners are transparent trays constituting of a specific material to align teeth. They gently and steadily apply force to shift the teeth into the desired position without the trouble of metal wires and brackets. They are manufactured specifically for each patient using a computer scan and are intended to shift teeth in the appropriate direction slowly. This is accomplished by digitally taking an impression, analysing the data using specialized software, and then having the milling machine automatically create a set of custom trays for patients based on future forecasts for better outcomes and straighter teeth. A person typically needs 25 to 40 sets for complete alignment.

A relatively modern orthodontic procedure for adjusting and straightening teeth uses clear aligners. Aligners are a good alternative to metal braces because they are nearly unnoticeable and can be taken out while eating and brushing teeth. A prime example of digital dentistry in action is the production of clear aligners using digital technologies. To start the process, an orthodontist uses a 3D intraoral scanner to take an impression of the patient's teeth. The bulk of clear aligners is anticipated to be manufactured using 3D-printed molds. Due to their rapid processing speed and accuracy, Material Jetting and Stereolithography (SLA) are the technologies that make this possible. In addition to these resin-based procedures, HP's Multi Jet Fusion powder-based technology is gaining acceptance.

Recent developments by key players in Clear Aligners Market:

  • In August 2022- SimplyClear is a comprehensive solution for orthodontic development that combines high-quality transparent aligners with the tested support model that powers effective orthodontic programmes and long-term revenue growth. SimplyClear was introduced by Orthobrain, an Ohio-based orthodontic growth system.

The rising prevalence of dental malocclusion globally is the significant factor propelling the growth of the clear aligner market. When the teeth in the upper and lower dental arches are not correctly spaced apart or aligned, this is a medical problem known as malocclusion. Individuals of all ages and from a wide range of geographical areas are susceptible to the common disorder known as malocclusion. It is one of the most primary dental conditions, along with dental fluorosis, gingivitis, and caries. The demand for clear aligners has grown due to the propensity for self-care and the desire for an ideal smile. Increased demand for clear aligners is anticipated to fuel market expansion. Moreover, The capacity of clear aligners to address challenging instances has improved as a result of the development of 3D printing technology. The patient experience has been improved with the introduction of advanced materials like thermoplastic elastomers, improving the comfort and flexibility of clear aligners. The advancements in technology and awareness among individuals are driving the market demand. However, the advent of companies that provide direct consumer services has raised competition in the market, which is expected to slow market growth over time. Patients are not required to visit doctors because these providers take dental impressions, which are then examined in-store by distant orthodontists. The patient's necessary products are mailed to them. The larger demand for these products stems from their relatively low cost, which will present a long-term challenge to the market's growth.

This market research report also emphasis on factors affecting the growth rate in various regions listed above. A deep-down analysis of region will also be provided in the final version of this market which is based on conclusion of primary interviews and secondary data point gathered during the process.

By region, the market is segmented into North America, Latin America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Middle East & Africa. North America registered highest share in the market in 2022. This is attributable to rising R&D expenditures, the local presence of major international companies, and those companies' efforts to get new patents. According to an American Dental Association poll, 85% of Americans genuinely appreciate their dental health and view it as a crucial component of total care. The introduction of clear tray-style aligners has caught the interest of many patients who wish to whiten their smile but would rather not have the metal-mouth appearance of braces. Consumers have become more conscious of recent advancements in dental hygiene, the many practical choices for addressing tooth misalignment, and the rise of beauty standards, among other factors. This has led to market expansion in the region.

Additionally, based on age group; adults hold highest market share in 2022. Malocclusion is one of the most common dental conditions. In addition to the impairing quality of life, it can also cause issues with dentofacial aesthetics, disturbances of oral function, including chewing, swallowing, and speech, and increased susceptibility to trauma and periodontal disease. Acceptable aesthetic appearance, especially dental, is essential in today's culture. The adolescent population is more prevalent in its growing concern for dental aesthetics. One of the orthodontic treatments that are expanding the fastest is aligner therapy, which is primarily driven by patients who view it as a more pleasant, practical, and discreet alternative to fixed devices.
