A subspecialty of dentistry known as orthodontics deals with the identification, avoidance, treatment, and correction of crooked teeth, misaligned jaws, and irregular bite patterns. Dentofacial orthopedics, or the control of facial growth, may also be covered.
As malocclusion becomes more common and people become more aware of orthodontics, the global market for braces is growing quickly. Additionally, the market is projected to grow as a result of rising dental aesthetic procedures and need for orthodontic supplies. The orthodontics market is expected to have slow growth due to issues like high treatment prices and negative orthodontic side effects.
Between 2023 and 2030, the global market for Orthodontics is anticipated to expand at a 6.94% CAGR.
