Invisible Orthodontics Market Research, 2031
The global Invisible Orthodontics Market Size was valued at $4.6 billion in 2021, and is projected to reach $34.7 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 22.6% from 2022 to 2031. Orthodontics is a branch of dentistry that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, and correction of misaligned teeth and jaws. It involves the use of appliances, such as braces, to straighten teeth and correct the bite, or the way the teeth come together. Orthodontic treatment can address a wide range of dental issues, including crooked or crowded teeth, overbites and underbites, crossbites, and gaps between teeth. The most common orthodontic treatment involves the use of braces, which are typically made of metal or clear brackets that are attached to the teeth and connected by wires. Invisible orthodontics are of three types, clear braces, clear aligners and lingual braces.
Market dynamics
Increased use of invisible orthodontics for cosmetic dentistry and rise in dental problems such as diastema, crowded teeth, open bites, crossbite, overbite, and underbite are anticipated to drive market expansion. In addition, increase in awareness of invisible orthodontics around the globe has surged its demand, therefore fueling the expansion of the market.
Increased aesthetic standards around the world is the reason for the ever-increasing demand for cosmetic dentistry, which has resulted in the widespread acceptance of invisible orthodontics. These treatments may include tooth whitening, porcelain veneers, dental bonding, crowns, implants, braces, and other orthodontic operations. A person's teeth and smile should look and perform better, which is the aim of aesthetic dental therapy. In addition, there have been significant technological breakthroughs in the invisible orthodontics business. This has resulted in the creation of new and improved invisible orthodontics devices, like clear aligners, lingual braces, and self-ligating braces, which are more aesthetically pleasing and pleasant than conventional metal braces. These improvements have also increased treatment efficiency, resulting in quicker treatment times and better accuracy. Furthermore, rise in awareness of invisible orthodontics has been a major drive for the growth of the market. In addition, the prevalence of dental disorders such as anterior and posterior cross bite has further increased the demand for invisible orthodontics.
For instance, according to national library of medicines, the prevalence of anterior crossbite was 7.8% and posterior crossbite was 9.0% in 2022. Crossbites is a condition in which the upper and lower teeth do not contact or bite properly, which is a malocclusion (bite problem). Crossbites can be caused by tooth position, jaw position, or a combination of both.
However, high cost of invisible orthodontics and side effects associated with it are key factors anticipated to hamper the market growth.
The outbreak of COVID-19 has disrupted workflows in the healthcare sector around the world. The disease has forced several industries to shut down temporarily, including several sub-domains of the healthcare sector. The pandemic reduced accessibility to dental clinics. Thus, dentists noted a marked decrease in patient visits during the lockdown. This was due to cancellation of medical treatments due to lockdown and the economic stress faced by majority of the population.
