Orthodontics is the dental forte relating to the correction of shape of teeth and jaws that are improperly positioned causing malocclusions. The most common orthodontic treatment is related to wiring of the teeth (dental braces).
The global orthodontics market is mainly driven by a steady rise in disposable income and increasing concern for facial aesthetics. The increasing number of dental clinics and access to easier treatment is also driving the market. However, repetitive visits to the dentists and cost of treatment are inhibiting factors for the concerned market.
The report on the global orthodontics market analyzes the market under four segments: brackets, anchorage appliances, archwires, and ligatures. Brackets fetch the largest revenue, contributing approximately 61% to the global orthodontics market. These are available in various material types, viz. ceramic brackets, plastic brackets, cobalt-chromium brackets, self-ligating brackets, stainless steel brackets, composite brackets, titanium brackets, gold brackets, and lingual brackets.
All the aforementioned segments experienced a positive growth until 2013 with an increased awareness of root canals and other dental procedures. Archwires have been contributing about 20% to the dental orthodontics devices market. An archwire extends through each bracket slot and goes into the band. It is available in both soft and hard metal materials depending upon the usage. The markets for dental brackets and archwires have been witnessing maximum growth because of the increase in patient pool and the awareness to look better.
Procedure volume growth is very promising in Asia (China, India) because of low procedural price, low penetration rates, improving healthcare infrastructure, growing disposable incomes, increase in life expectancy, growing popularity of cosmetic dentistry, broadening insurance coverage, and expanding private healthcare sector.
In North America (U.S., Canada) and Europe (Germany, France, Italy, Spain, U.K.), increasing awareness of facial aesthetics and insurance coverage for dental procedures have been driving the growth of this market. Also, the introduction of technologies such as CAD/CAM has enabled dentists to offer better dental aesthetics, especially in Europe.
