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 orthodontics market is growing due to the high prevalence of malocclusion, the increasing adoption of digital technologies for orthodontic treatments, and the growing demand for cosmetic dentistry. Furthermore, rising awareness regarding dental health in developing countries offers significant opportunities for the market’s growth.
However, the high cost of orthodontic treatments hinders the growth of this market. In addition, the lack of awareness regarding orthodontic treatments and the shortage of skilled professionals are the major challenges to the market’s growth.

Market dynamics
2 factors across 1 forceGrowing Demand for Cosmetic Dentistry
The number of cosmetic procedures is increasing due to rising awareness regarding oral health and rapid technological advancements. The demand for cosmetic procedures has been high among populations aged 24–40 and 57–75. People aged 24–40 are largely interested in improving dental aesthetics with the help of orthodontic procedures.
Patients’ choices and requirements, ranging from mere hygiene to definite image enhancement, are changing industry dynamics. People today are more willing to invest in themselves than ever before. Baby boomers with high disposable incomes, the younger generation of working individuals who want the perfect appearance for better careers, and significant advances in the industry have contributed to the rise of cosmetic dentistry. The American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry states that around 99% of Americans think their smile is their most important social asset.
Moreover, the growing dental tourism has increased the demand for cosmetic dentistry due to rising disposable incomes leading to an increased willingness to spend on aesthetic improvement. For instance, the Hallyu effect played a crucial role in boosting the cosmetic tourism industry, including dental tourism. Hallyu, also known as the Korean Wave, is a phenomenon of Korean pop culture wherein Korean movies, K-dramas, pop music, and fashion are being accepted and shared globally. This effect has driven dental tourism in Korea. Korean pop culture has surgically beautified celebrities who promote and endorse cosmetic procedures attracting tourists for potential dental procedures. Therefore, the growing demand for cosmetic dentistry is increasing the adoption of orthodontic procedures, driving the market's growth.
The High Prevalence of Malocclusion is Driving the Demand for Orthodontics
The high incidence of malocclusion is a major driving factor for the 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.]). In developing countries, the prevalence is higher due to limited access to oral health care and poor oral hygiene practices than in developed countries.
The growing adoption of digital technologies for orthodontic procedures, the growing demand for cosmetic dentistry, and the increasing focus on improving aesthetic appearance drive the orthodontics market’s growth.
