Market Overview

The global clear aligners market is the industry that clears-aligners are used to straighten teeth in an adult population, and those include the development of, manufacturing, and distribution of clear aligners as an alternative to metal braces. Additionally, orthodontics innovations give a big boost to the clear aligners market. The new technology like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning is increasingly being used in the treatment planning and designing processes which are making clear aligners more precise and efficient. With AI-powered software, dental scans can be analyzed, and a perfect treatment path can be predicted, so that manual adjustments and patient outcomes won't be a problem anymore, and they will be better. In addition, the production of new materials like multi-layer polymer aligners, which are more durable but still very comfortable, is tackling one of the earlier versions' main drawbacks.

A renowned clear aligner brand, Invisalign has achieved huge success in the market. The aligners of Invisalign are transparent, can be taken out, and are made exclusively for every patient. The success of Invisalign is an indication of the rising importance of people taking cosmetic problems into account while choosing orthodontic treatment. The trend for clear aligners is further supported by the growing global market share and revenue of Invisalign.

 

Restraining Factors

The worldwide market for clear aligners is encountering several limitations such as expensive treatments, inadequate reimbursement coverages, unawareness of the product in developing areas, unsuitability for difficult cases, and reliance on highly trained orthodontic personnel to achieve desired results.

 

Market Segmentation

The clear aligners market share is classified into age and material type.

• The adults segment accounted for the largest share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.           

Based on the age, the clear aligners market is divided into adults and teens. Among these, the adults segment accounted for the largest share in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. A research published in July 2024 in the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics reported, “Adult orthodontics, motivations for treatment, choice, and experience”. This was a survey-based study that investigated adults’ reasons for getting orthodontic treatment and their experiences with different types of appliances. It revealed that a significant number of adult patients are in favor of clear aligners rather than fixed braces, and they pointed out better aesthetics, easier hygiene, and lifestyle compatibility as main reasons. The findings highlight that more adults are asking for aligner therapy mainly because of appearance, convenience, and comfort.           

 

• The polyurethane segment accounted for the highest market revenue in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period.     

Based on the material type, the clear aligners market is divided into polyurethane, plastic polyethylene terephthalate glycol (PETG), and Others. Among these, the polyurethane segment accounted for the highest market revenue in 2024 and is anticipated to grow at a significant CAGR during the forecast period. Polyurethane materials are the most desirable option for clear aligner production due to their fully transparent nature, superior tear resistance, and remarkable elastic recovery that is sustained over time, compared to alternative plastics. Their ability to integrate with advanced thermoforming and direct 3D-printing work processes also contributes to easy large-scale production, uniform treatment performance, and acceptance in the clinics of the top aligner brands.
