Rising demand for teeth straightening among adolescents

The use of orthodontic brackets is growing significantly among the adolescent population across major countries such as U.S., U.K., Germany, India, and Japan. With rising awareness about the importance of oral health and aesthetics, more and more parents are willing to invest in teeth straightening procedures for their children at a young age. Teenagers have become much more conscious about their physical appearance lately. Crooked or irregularly aligned teeth can affect their confidence and self-esteem during the important years of schooling and socialization. This has emerged as a major factor prompting parents to opt for braces for kids in their early and mid-teenage phases.

Braces are widely regarded as a necessity rather than mere luxury by several families. With improving economic conditions as well, people are ready to spend on orthodontic treatment to enhance children's physical features. Advanced straightening technologies using new materials like ceramics and lingual brackets have addressed previous concerns around the aesthetics of metal wires. This has further encouraged adolescent patients to undertake corrective procedures without compromising on natural looks. Peer pressure and social media influences seem to be playing a pivotal role in creating this increased need for an aesthetically appealing smile.

Dental tourism has led to the rise in the global demand for orthodontic brackets and aligners. Significant cost savings that are associated with medical tourism in several developing Asian countries, Mexico, and Eastern Europe have made dental procedures more affordable for international patients. Advanced diagnostics and treatment modalities comparable to developed markets combined with relatively lower costs are attracting patients in large numbers from the U.S., Western Europe, and other highly-priced regions. Countries like India, Thailand, Hungary, and Poland are emerging as popular destinations for people in U.S., U.K. and other countries who are seeking quality dental services at substantially lower costs. This price arbitrage is driving medical tourists to opt for long term corrective treatments overseas as well. The flourishing dental tourism business has created new revenue pools for global orthodontic supplies industry including brackets manufacturers. It is enabling greater affordability and accessibility of standard orthodontic solutions worldwide.
