Report overview
Segments covered: product, patient type, end user, patient. Regions: Europe.
Orthodontics is the branch of dentistry that corrects teeth and jaws that are positioned improperly. Removable braces, brackets, archwires, anchorage appliances, ligatures, and other orthodontic products are used in orthodontic procedures. Orthodontic products are used to correct malocclusions by straightening the teeth or moving them into better positions to improve an individual’s appearance and restore the normal function of teeth of chewing and speaking.
The Europe orthodontics market is growing due to the high prevalence of malocclusion, the increasing adoption of digital technologies for orthodontic treatments, and high awareness regarding dental disorders. Furthermore, the growing demand for aesthetic and cosmetic dentistry offers significant opportunities for the market’s growth.
However, the unavailability of reimbursement policies for orthodontic treatments hinders the growth of this market. In addition, the high cost of orthodontic treatments is a major challenge to the market’s growth.

Market dynamics
1 factors across 1 forceThe High Prevalence of Malocclusion is Driving the Demand for Orthodontics
The high incidence of malocclusion is a major driving factor for the Europe orthodontics market. Malocclusion can be caused by various factors, such as genetics and thumb-sucking in children, and it can have a negative impact on an individual’s oral health.
Malocclusion is one of the most prevalent clinical dental conditions, affecting approximately 60% to 75% of the global population (Source: Align Technologies., Inc. [U.S.]). Similarly, according to the European Journal of Pediatric Dentistry in 2020, the prevalence of malocclusion in Europe was 72%, with 52.05% being normal overbite, 34% open bite, 7% crossbites, and 3.82% posterior crossbite requiring orthodontic treatment. Thus, the high prevalence of malocclusion in Europe drives the adoption of orthodontic products, driving the market growth in the region.

Other segments
- The removable braces segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market due to the high prevalence of malocclusion.
- Removable braces are clear plastic trays that can be snapped in and out of the mouth to correct orthodontic conditions.
- The treatment of removable braces can be shorter than traditional braces, owing to which the demand is higher.
- Malocclusion is a condition where the teeth and jaw bones are misaligned.
- This condition affects an individual's chewing patterns, speech, and appearance.
- Thus, braces are used in correcting misaligned teeth.
- The high prevalence of malocclusion coupled with the growing preference for aesthetic dental products such as invisible braces as opposed to traditional metal braces is the major factor attributed to the large share of the segment.
By Patient Type
- The Adult Segment is Expected to Account for the Largest Share of the Market
- Oral diseases are increasing the demand for orthodontic therapy among adults.
- The treatment of malocclusions in adults is important for preventing orthodontic complications.
- Furthermore, over the past few years, the overall diagnosis rate for malocclusions and treatment rates has increased significantly.
- Thus, the high prevalence of malocclusion in adults has increased the adoption of orthodontic treatments.
By End User
- The dental clinics & hospitals segment is expected to account for the largest share of the market.
- The large market share of this segment is attributed to the high number of independent dental clinics & dental chains and the high preference for dental clinics & hospitals by patients for orthodontic procedures coupled with the wide availability of dentists in the region.
- For instance, in 2021, Bulgaria had 7,560 dentists, accounting for 109.9 dentists per 100,000 people (Source: Eurostat).
- Furthermore, the consolidation of dental clinics provides them with better resources, which enables these clinics to provide better patient care and focus on customer acquisition, which also leads to the segment’s large share.
