The COVID-19 outbreak is anticipated to have a negative impact on the growth of the orthodontics market. Most of the dental clinics are not operating due to COVID-19 and the ongoing lockdowns in many countries.

The fixed orthodontic appliances include braces, fixed-space maintainers, removable space maintainers and special fixed appliances. Dental brackets are defined as the devices used in orthodontics to align and straighten the teeth. They act as handles to hold the arch wires and move the teeth.

Growth in prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders & diseases and availability of orthopedic braces through e-commerce drive the orthodontics market growth for orthodontics brackets. Brackets are available in two types, fixed brackets and removable brackets. 

The growth of the global orthodontics market is majorly driven by increase in number of geriatric population, rise in awareness about oral health, and surge in demand for orthodontic products.

Moreover, increase in prevalence of malocclusion is expected to fuel their adoption in the analysis period. Conversely, huge untapped market potential in the emerging countries, such as China and India, and upsurge in the demand for orthodontic procedures are expected to provide lucrative opportunities to the market players.

The increase in oral disorders worldwide boosts the growth of orthodontics market. In addition, increase in sedentary lifestyle and consumption of tobacco, drive the growth of the market. The tobacco consuming habit of people in underdeveloped countries, is more prone to dental disease. For instance, according to World Health Organization (WHO), it is estimated that oral diseases affect nearly 3.5 billion population in 2020.

Moreover, advancement in orthodontics product and new product launches in the global orthodontics market are anticipated to contribute toward the growth of the market.

It is used to visualize, customize, and communicate treatment plans designed to achieve predictable outcomes for clear aligner treatment planning.
