Market Dynamics
Increasing demand for aesthetics in dental practices and increasing technological advancements are some of the drivers estimated to dominate the market.
Increasing demand for aesthetics in dental practices is estimated to dominate the clear alginers market
Alginate is a common dental substance, and an alginate impression is a straightforward, cost-effective, and necessary aspect of dental practise. The imprinting material chosen for a specific situation is determined by the treatment being administered, operator preference, and other factors. Clear Aligners are clear trays made of a specific material used to correct teeth in the same way that braces are used to straighten teeth. Without the inconveniences of metal wires and brackets, they use moderate and consistent force to shift the teeth into the desired position. The global rise of cosmetic dentistry is fueled by several causes. These services are in high demand, partly because people worldwide have more extra income to spend on their looks. This is significant since the American Academy of Cosmetic Dentistry estimates that 99 percent of Americans believe their smile is their most valuable social attribute.
In 2020, Align Technology sold a record 1.6 million cases of clear aligners, despite the fact that most governments and corporations throughout the world were bleeding money due to a lack of revenue. Last year, the clear aligner maker accomplished a lot for dentists and orthodontists, and now it's reaping the benefits. Furthermore, the computerised processes that support clear aligner therapy assist dentists and orthodontists in maintaining high patient numbers.
The technological advancement in the dental field is estimated to dominate the clear aligners market
The technological advancements have made visits to the dentist easier and more pleasant for patients. Modern developments have revolutionised how individuals feel about coming to the dentist, just as technology has changed our homes, jobs, and relationships. Dentures used to be made over a while, and patients who needed them had to go to the dentist numerous times to get impressions. It was a time-consuming process that required a lot of trial and error to find the correct fit. New technology such as computer-aided design (CAD) and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) enables dental technicians to produce new dentures from material discs in a fraction of the time. In just a few stages, a complete prosthesis can be created.
The Invisalign clear aligner system is the most advanced in the world. The Invisalign system has helped roughly 10.9 million people, including over 2.8 million teenagers, smile thanks to two decades of innovation. The Invisalign technology uses a series of custom-made aligners to straighten teeth for each patient. It's a mix of proprietary virtual modelling software, mass customisation and rapid production techniques, as well as custom-made aligners constructed from unique aligner material. The activation of the Invisalign® G8 SmartForce aligner gives more control and improves clinical predictability. SmartForce aligner activation shapes select areas on the aligner's surface to generate strategic contact areas on the tooth surface, even smarter with Invisalign G8.
Drawbacks associated with clear aligners is assumed to hamper the clear aligners market
While transparent aligners have many advantages over traditional braces, they also have some drawbacks that people should be aware of before getting them. For extreme situations, clear aligners are not suggested. Clear aligners will not correct crowded teeth caused by a tiny jaw, an overbite or underbite caused by a misaligned jaw, or an overbite or underbite caused by a misaligned jaw. Instead, an orthodontist will need to create a more extensive treatment plan.
It is necessary to install buttons on the rear teeth in order for the clear aligners to stay in place in some cases. When the aligners are removed for eating and drinking or for social gatherings or job interviews where aligners aren't required, these buttons can be irritating. Over the past few years, several studies have been conducted to assess the adverse effects of aligners on oral health. When aligners are worn for a long time, they can have a negative impact on gum health, leading to periodontitis and gingivitis. According to one study on aligners, they may promote tooth root weakness, which could lead to slow resorption of the dental roots over time. According to the Consumer Guide for Dentistry, the cost will most likely be between $3,000 and $5,000. The cost varies depending on how long one needs therapy, how complicated tooth alignment problems are, and where you live. If patient has a dental insurance plan, they can contact the administrator. Some dental insurance plans cover all or part of the cost of Invisalign treatment. One may be able to utilise a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) to cover some of the costs of Invisalign treatment if have one. Hence, all consequences are likely to hamper the clear alginers market growth.
COVID-19 Impact Analysis
COVID-19 has affected the healthcare industry negatively. To stop its spread, government-imposed lockdown. Dental practises have characteristics that expose dental patients and practitioners to high quantities of pathogenic microorganisms and high risks of cross infection, such as intimate face-to-face communication, droplet- and aerosol-generating procedures, and contaminated surfaces . Furthermore, traditional procedures are insufficient to protect dental practitioners and patients against COVID-19 infection, posing significant obstacles to dental services during this time. As a result, in late January 2020, China's most epidemic-affected provinces imposed severe limitations on dental health services. Most orthodontic appointments and most orthodontic problems were judged non-emergent during the outbreak, so most orthodontic departments and clinics were closed. In this long period of dental service suspension, orthodontic problems such as loosening brackets and archwires could not be treated promptly due to the inability to attend regular appointments, which had a significant influence on the lives and treatments of orthodontic patients. People are fearful they may experience occupational effects and negative health from the COVID-19 pandemic. This has seen to affect the global clear aligners market as many have stopped manufacturing units.
