Clear Aligners Market Size & Trends
The global clear aligners market size was valued at USD 5.13 billion in 2023 and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 30.7% from 2024 to 2030. Clear aligners are a series of tight-fitting custom-made mouthpieces or orthodontic systems that are useful in correcting misaligned or crooked teeth. Clear aligners are virtually discreet and removable alternatives to braces designed around patients’ convenience and flexibility. Factors such as the growing patient population suffering from malocclusions, rising technological advancements in dental treatment, and growing demand for customized clear aligners are driving the overall market growth. The pandemic had a positive impact on the market globally and key players recovered with high revenues in 2020 as compared to previous years. For instance, according to Dental Tribune, Align Technology sold a record 1.6 million cases of clear aligners in 2020 as compared to 1.5 million cases in 2019.
The company also stated that the adoption of Invisalign aligners by adults and teenagers increased by 36.7% and 38.7%, respectively in 2020 and the adoption of aligners among teens or younger patients was highest during the pandemic. The major factor for the growth of this marker was that people were more reluctant to go to an orthodontist’s office to get traditional teeth braces which increased the adoption of clear aligners. The advent of pandemics helped the industry prosper in terms of adoption, sales, and revenue, and this trend is expected to continue in the future.
In the advent of escalating dental disorders, advancements like 3D impression systems, additive fabrication, Nickel and Copper-Titanium Wires, digital scanning technology, CAD/CAM appliances, temporary anchorage devices, and incognito lingual braces, clear aligners are among the latest advancements that are making orthodontic treatments more efficient, predictable and effective. Dental treatments have become customized and technologies like a digital impression system like iTero by Align Technology is assisting in developing accurate and customized clear aligners systems to treat mild to moderate misalignment conditions.
These invisible aligners are developed through virtual digital models, computer-aided design (CAD-CAM), and thermoformed plastic materials like copolyester or polycarbonate plastic. Inconvenience caused by the metal and ceramic braces and the long-term gum sensitivity has caused an increased adoption of clear aligners by patients and dentists. The aligner is designed for the wearer’s comfort and is flexible. According to Dental Tribune, clear aligners technology has quickly become an increasingly popular alternative to fixed appliances for tooth straightening, since it is an aesthetically appealing and comfortable choice. Invisalign is the largest producer of clear aligners, and other brands include Clear Correct, Inman Aligner, and Smart Moves. However, factors like the high cost of clear aligners, less number of dentists in emerging areas, and limited insurance coverage for orthodontic treatments are likely to hinder the market growth.
The advent of COVID-19 was eminent on the dental market as the majority of elective procedures were postponed. As dentistry is considered an elective and high-contact service, most of the dental practices were closed. However, In the U.S., 27 states allowed dental offices to open for elective care by May 2020, and by June around 48 states opened for elective dental care. The American Dental Association predicted spending projections to be more optimistic in the future due to resuming of dental practices and recovering patient volume. The ADA also predicted that dental expenditures will grow and bounce back completely to pre-pandemic levels or 80% of pre-pandemic volume by October 2020 or January 2021.
Market Concentration & Characteristics
The clear aligners market is currently in a high-growth stage with a rapidly accelerating pace of expansion. This dynamic market is marked by a notable level of innovation, largely propelled by swift technological advancements. Key factors driving this innovation include the widespread adoption of digital technologies, continuous developments in 3D printing, and an increasing demand for orthodontic solutions that blend comfort and aesthetic appeal. The surge in market growth can also be attributed to a growing awareness of dental aesthetics and a shift toward minimally invasive orthodontic treatments.
The industry is also characterized by a high level of merger and acquisition (M&A) activity undertaken by the leading players. This is due to several factors, the rising focus on increasing the company’s products & services portfolio, the need to consolidate in a rapidly growing market, and the increasing strategic importance of aesthetic treatments. Several companies are undertaking this strategy to strengthen their portfolio. For instance, in October 2022, Align Technology introduced the iTERO Exocad connector for enabling doctors with advanced visualization in the field of digital orthodontics that includes the treatment of clean aligner.
The competitive landscape of the clear aligners industry is vibrant, with companies actively differentiating themselves through ongoing research and development efforts. This includes advancements in material properties, aligner design, and treatment planning algorithms. Collaborations, partnerships, and strategic alliances between orthodontic companies and technology providers are becoming more prevalent, indicating the industry's commitment to sustained innovation.
Age Insights
The adults segment held the largest share of 60.2% in 2023 and is expected to grow at a significant CAGR over the forecast period. Dental conditions like malocclusion are widely prevalent amongst the population and apart from affecting the quality of life, it can also lead to problems such as impaired dentofacial aesthetics, disturbances of oral function, such as mastication, swallowing, and speech, and greater susceptibility to trauma and periodontal disease. Nowadays, acceptable aesthetic appearance including dental appearance plays a vital role in society. An increasing concern for dental appearance is seen more among the adolescent population. Aligner therapy is one of the fastest-growing areas in orthodontics, driven significantly by patients who regard it as a more comfortable, convenient, and discreet alternative to fixed appliances.
The teens segment is expected to reciprocate high growth over the forecast period. The FDA approved, Invisalign clear aligners developed by Align Technology, have been used in the treatment of 5 million people as of 2018 and worldwide Invisalign shipments to teenagers were about 87.1 thousand cases as of 2018. As per NCBI, the prevalence of Class I and Class II malocclusions are highest among the population, and the adoption of clear aligners that is effective in treating these conditions has gradually increased. This is because many teenagers prefer avoiding discomfort caused by the metal braces and also look aesthetically appealing. For these reasons, teenagers are highly opting for clear aligners to get treated for their dental conditions. To date, over 1 million teenagers have started orthodontic treatment with Invisalign clear aligners.
Material Type Insights
The polyurethane segment held the largest share of 76.5% in 2023 owing to the presence of invisalign clear aligners that are made of polyurethane material type. When employed as a component of an aligner, polyurethane offers a number of advantages. It can be used for both hard and soft parts because of its wide range of characteristics. This substance can be used to make products that are so powerful that teeth can be pushed into alignment. While still being soft enough to be worn for extended durations.
For aligners to work, it’s essential that patients keep them in and don’t remove them. These aligners also won’t get damaged from common processes such as grinding and biting. Furthermore, polyurethane (PU) PU foils are considered to offer more benefits than PETG when used for aligners production.
End-use Insights
The standalone practitioners segment held the highest share of 52.8% in 2023 and is also reciprocating significant CAGR over the forecast period. As standalone practitioners are readily adopting clear aligners systems and are equipped with advanced digital technologies.
According to Today's RDH, a digital media company for Registered Dental Professionals, there are many benefits of choosing a private/standalone dental services and some of the benefits include a wider range of dental treatments, shorter wait times, specialist and quality service as well as high adoption of latest equipment and quality materials for both diagnostics and treatment.
The dentistry news reported that almost half (46%) of NHS dentists are planning to move to private dentistry. In 2019, Dentistry Confidence Monitor surveyed more than 400 dentists working in NHS and in private settings and reported that 84% of private dentists were happy as they can provide the level of care they want, compared to 17% of NHS dentists. Moreover, 79% of private dentists said they could carry out their work without feeling overly stressed, compared to 8% of NHS dentists. Factors like flexibility, lesser administrative work, patient-centric customized service, and control over the practice is expected to boost the demand for standalone dental practices.
Distribution Channel Insights
The offline segment held the highest share of 74.6% in 2023, since, Align Technology is the most dominant player in the global market, and the company carries out its sales operations solely through offline channels. Invisalign can offer discounts as high as 35%, encouraging dentists and orthodontists to actively sell as many teeth-straightening aligners as possible, which increases their per-patient profits.
However, due to the rise in the number of Direct-to-Consumer (DTC), clear aligner companies globally have resulted in high adoption of the online sales channel. SmileDirectClub, a D2C brand that operates through online channels, reported, based on one of its internal research in 2021, that its product and customer experience are competitive with Invisalign, and its products are 60% less expensive. Business-to-customer sale is the current trend in the market; however, the new trend that is gaining momentum is DTC sales. This is when the company directly sells its products to patients without a dental professional being involved. Clear aligners have become a more popular choice among consumers and expand access to treatment.
Regional Insights
North America dominated the market capturing 57.01% share in 2023 and is expected to showcase a significant CAGR in the forecast period. This is attributed to increasing R&D investments and the local presence of global players & their efforts to obtain new patents. A survey conducted by the American Dental Association stated that 85% of individuals in the U.S. truly value dental health and consider oral health an essential aspect of overall care. There are four million people in the U.S. wearing braces out of which 25% are adults and the advent of clear tray-style aligners has attracted the attention of many patients wanting to improve their smile but would prefer to avoid the metal-mouth look of braces. Factors like increasing awareness regarding the recent development in dental hygiene, various convenient options available for treating teeth misalignment, and a surge in beauty standards have propelled people to opt for aligners, in turn, increasing the U.S. clear aligners market growth.
APAC region is expected to witness the highest CAGR over the forecast period due to increasing demand for clear aligners in developing economies, namely India and China. The surge is also due to the aesthetic appeal of the aligner systems. Moreover, dental tourism in India is flourishing, and according to Indian Dental Association (IDA) estimates, dental tourism constitutes more cost-effectiveness for foreign patients, shorter patient waiting time, a large pool of experienced practitioners, availability of quality accommodations, and visa-on-arrival at 14% of the total medical tourism industry. Factors such as cost-effectiveness for foreign patients, shorter patient waiting times, a large pool of experienced practitioners, availability of quality accommodations, and visa-on-arrival facilities make India a go-to destination for dental treatments. According to Journal of Dental Health, Oral Disorders & Therapy, the prevalence of Class I malocclusion is high in India, followed by Class II malocclusion. A large patient pool, the presence of skilled professionals, and high aesthetic awareness are expected to boost the clear aligners market.
Europe is the second largest contributor to clear aligners market. Key countries in the European region are Germany, the UK, Spain, France, Italy, and others. The growing importance of aesthetics and improved self-confidence post-treatment are factors boosting the market growth. Companies such as Dentsply Sirona have a long-established presence in the European market, especially in Germany, Sweden, France, and the UK. The region reports the highest net sales for the company in dental products, contributing around 40% to total sales. Countries in the European region are well-developed and provide modern technologies for aesthetic surgeries & patient care.

Clear Aligners Market Dynamics
Driver: Rapidly Growing Patient Population with Malocclusion
According to WHO, malocclusion is the third most prevalent dental disease globally, after dental caries and periodontal disease. Currently, the distribution and severity of oral diseases, such as malocclusions, vary in different parts of the world and within the same country or region. Malocclusion of the teeth causes misalignment that may later lead to severe oral health problems. This condition is hereditary, which means that it can be passed down from one generation to another and often causes tooth overcrowding and abnormal bite patterns. Malocclusions are divided into Class I, Class II, and Class III. Class I malocclusions are the most common, wherein the upper teeth slightly overlap the lower teeth, however, the bite is normal. Class II malocclusions, also known as retrognathism, is a condition wherein the upper jaw severely overlaps the lower jaw, causing an overbite. In addition to its effect on appearance, overbite can also lead to hard and soft tissue trauma in the long run.
Driver: Rapid Technological Advancements in Dental Health
The prevalence of oral diseases & disorders is increasing. Thus, the need for advancements in orthodontics is also increasing. Digital computer imaging and 3D technology to create an accurate fit are being increasingly used in orthodontic practices. 3D impression scanners, Nickel and Copper-Titanium Wires, digital scanning technology additive fabrication, CAD/CAM appliances, incognito lingual braces, temporary anchorage devices, and clear aligners are among the latest advancements leading to the delivery of more efficient, customized, predictable, and effective orthodontic treatments. According to Pennsylvania Dental Association, approximately 4 million people in the U.S. are wearing braces, out of which 25% of people are adults. According to the American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, dental treatments nowadays are inclining toward digital workflow equipped with systems such as intraoral scanners, digital tooth set-ups, 3-D printers, and CAD/CAM systems. These advancements assist in reducing treatment/chair time, offer patient-centric customized treatment, and enhance patient experience with improved outcomes.
Restraint: High Cost of Clear Aligners
A major disadvantage of clear aligner systems is their high cost. According to Healthline, the average cost of aligners such as Invisalign is anywhere from USD 3,000 to USD 8,000, exceeding the cost of metallic and ceramic braces. Clear aligners are not covered under insurance and the expense is therefore out of the patient’s pocket. Treatment time may be longer than with braces, and the cost-typically-can exceed the average USD 5,000 price of braces. Moreover, clear aligners are effective in treating mild or moderate bite issues, not more complex orthodontic issues. Clear aligners are not effective for achieving significant tooth movement, and they often take much longer to work compared to regular braces. However, some patents owned by Align Technology for clear aligners expired in 2018, which can prove to be an opportunity for competitor companies to manufacture more clear aligners and bring down the prices of these systems.
