The global invisible orthodontics market size is anticipated to reach USD 33.9 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 28.5% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. The prevalence of oral diseases and disorders is on the rise, necessitating advancements in orthodontic treatment. To achieve a precise fit, digital computer imaging and 3D technology are increasingly being employed in orthodontic practices.
These advancements, including copper-titanium and nickel wires, digital scanning technology additive fabrication, temporary anchorage devices, 3D impression scanners, CAD/CAM appliances, incognito lingual braces, and clear aligners, are paving the way for more efficient, customized, predictable, and effective orthodontic treatments. According to the Orthodontics Association, nearly 3.5 million children and teenagers begin orthodontic treatment each year, highlighting the growing demand for effective orthodontic solutions.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a detrimental impact on the market. In line with guidelines from the American College of Surgeons, all non-essential and elective dental, surgical, or medical procedures were postponed until further notice, with the exception of medical emergencies. This included aesthetic dental procedures, radiographs, routine cleanings, oral examinations, and preventive therapies that did not involve pain management.
Malocclusion, also known as misaligned teeth, is a widespread condition affecting a significant portion of the population, particularly among children and adolescents. According to a January 2023 NCBI report, the global prevalence of malocclusion is estimated to be around 56%, with no significant gender differences. Interestingly, the prevalence of malocclusion varies across continents, with Africa having the highest prevalence at 81%, followed by Europe (71%), America (53%), and Asia (48%). These aspects are expected to boost the market.
