Orthodontics refers to a branch of dentistry that deals with the effective diagnosis, prevention, and interception of dental and jaw misalignment and corrects them if necessary. In orthodontics, braces are used for providing healthy and functional teeth as well as enhanced cosmetic corrections. This is done by aligning tooth tips, straightening crooked teeth, and improving speech and chewing performance. As a result, these treatments greatly enhance a person's oral health and overall appearance. Some of the commonly used orthodontic appliances include braces, fixed-space maintainers, removable space maintainers, dental brackets, retainers, and bands.
The global market is primarily driven by the rising awareness regarding advanced diagnostic tools that aid in the early detection of dental malocclusion. This can be attributed to the increasing prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders and abnormalities. In addition to this, the augmenting number of dental sealant procedures commonly carried out among the young population is providing an impetus to the market. Moreover, continual technological advancements, such as the advent of dental 3D scanners and dental imaging procedures for treatment of misaligned teeth, are fueling the market growth. The market is further driven by the integration of computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM), the internet of things (IoT), and artificial intelligence (AI)-based technologies with orthodontic techniques. Apart from this, the escalating demand for dental aesthetics focusing on clear aligner products is driving the demand for orthodontic tools. Some of the other factors that are creating a positive outlook for the market include the paradigm shift towards preventative oral care, extensive research and development (R&D) activities, and the growing geriatric population that is susceptible to numerous dental disorders.
