Report overview

Scope note

Segments covered: material, type, age group, distribution channel, end user. Regions: Europe.

Clear aligners control teeth movement with gradual and consistent force. These aligners are made of polyurethane plastic, polyethylene terephthalate (PET), polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), and other materials. Typically employed to address malocclusion, the treatment duration varies based on the severity of the case. Hospitals, dental and orthodontics clinics, and dental laboratories use clear aligners for cosmetic surgeries or treatment of malocclusion for teenagers/children and adults.

The growth of this market is driven by factors such as the increasing prevalence of malocclusion, product launches and approvals, advancements in dental technology, and a rising interest in aesthetic dentistry. However, the high cost of clear aligners restrain the market's growth.

Additionally, the surging demand for personalized aligners is expected to offer significant market growth opportunities. However, the lack of reimbursement policies poses a significant challenge to the market's growth.
