The clear aligners market is expected to witness a high growth rate owing to the rising prevalence of malocclusion along with increasing awareness regarding orthodontic treatments. Growing preference for minimally invasive and aesthetically pleasing clear aligners as compared to traditional metal braces is further driving their adoption. Additionally, increasing availability of direct-to-consumer clear aligners due to the presence of teledentistry is expected to support the market growth in the coming years. However, risks associated with misalignment while using clear aligners and their inability to treat severe malocclusion may hinder the market expansion to some extent during the forecast period.
Increasing Prevalence of Dental Incidences
The increasing prevalence of dental problems such as crooked teeth, malocclusion, and others is expected to drive the growth of the global clear aligners market over the forecast period. For instance, according to an article published by the European Journal of Pediatric Dentistry, an open access scientific journal, in June 2020, it is estimated that the total prevalence of malocclusion across the globe was 56% in 2019, with the highest prevalence in Africa (81%) and Europe (72%), followed by the Americas (53%) and Asia (48%). Malocclusion is one of the most common dental problems, wherein the upper and lower teeth do not align upon closing the mouth. Malocclusion is usually treated with clear aligners, braces, etc.
Increasing research and development activities for the introduction of technologically advanced clear aligners is expected to drive the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in February 2022, Bausch Health Companies Inc., a Canada-based pharmaceutical company, announced the launch of its technologically advanced OraFit custom clear aligner system, which is indicated for treating malocclusion. This newly launched clear aligner system uses high-performance materials in a three-layer design that offers dental professionals and their patients the latest in clear aligner technology. OraFit custom clear aligner system addresses the increased demand for improved aesthetics, more comfortable aligners as well as overall long-term oral health.
