The global invisible orthodontics market 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.. Invisible orthodontics refers to a type of dental treatment that uses clear or nearly invisible aligners instead of traditional metal braces to straighten teeth. The products are usually of three types-clear aligners, clear braces and lingual braces. Clear aligners typically involve a series of aligners that are worn for two weeks each and then replaced with a new set until the desired result is achieved. Unlike metal braces, which are fixed in place and can only be adjusted by a dentist or orthodontist, invisible orthodontics allows for more control over the treatment process. Clear braces are a type of dental braces that are similar to traditional metal braces, but with clear or tooth-colored clear brackets instead of metal ones making them less noticeable than metal braces. Lingual braces, involves placing the brackets and wires of the braces on the inside (tongue-side) of the teeth, rather than on the front. This makes them almost invisible when smiling or talking, making them a popular alternative to traditional metal braces or clear braces for people who are concerned about the appearance of their braces.
