Orthodontic Supplies Market Drivers

Rising Cases of Malocclusion  

• The increasing incidence of malocclusion worldwide is the major reason for the growth of the orthodontic supplies market. Due to improper eating habits and changing trends in oral hygiene, misalignment of teeth and incorrect bites are becoming more common, resulting in malocclusion. Increasing awareness of the aesthetic and functional benefits of orthodontic care leads to an increase in the number of individuals opting for the treatment, which in turn, drives the demand for orthodontic materials, such as braces, aligners, and wires.  

Growing Popularity for Dental Aesthetics  

• The benefits of having aligned teeth and dental health have found more recognition with modern society. The increased emphasis of modern society on aesthetics has made orthodontic procedures one of the most demanded areas of dental health for teenagers as well as adults. Therefore, the growing concern of aesthetic endurance and the increased awareness of dental health are two important aspects, driving the growth of market of orthodontics supplies.  

Orthodontic Supplies Market Restraints 

High Cost and Lack of Insurance Coverage  

• Although the general outlook of product adoption is positive, the market of orthodontic supplies has a huge hurdle as the cost of braces and orthodontic treatments are on the higher side. Patients beneath the poverty line are extremely vulnerable to oral problems due to their financial conditions. Dental companies do not offer basic dental care because it is not profitable. Orthodontic treatments become more and more rare due to inappropriate insurance and reimbursement policies.  

Strick Laws and Unfavorable Regulations  

• Orthodontic supplies have been in great demand in many countries, but the operations with them have been regulated quite strictly. Manufacturers of orthodontic supplies have to comply with very severe laws and introduce the highest standards of safety, efficacy, and quality. The approval process for the novel orthodontic products by such regulatory agencies, as the FDA, is very painstaking work and takes much time and effort, that is why new and innovative items are not so often introduced to the market. It also raises the cost of their development, which may be a problem for smaller companies.
