The China invisible orthodontics market size is forecast to increase by USD 314.9 million at a CAGR of 14.91% between 2023 and 2028. The market is experiencing significant growth due to the prevalence of malocclusion and related risk factors. Malocclusion, a common dental issue, affects a large population in China, driving the demand for orthodontic treatments. Additionally, the application of nanotechnology in orthodontics is a notable trend, enhancing the effectiveness and efficiency of treatments. However, the high cost of invisible orthodontics and limited reimbursement pose challenges to market growth. Despite these obstacles, the market is expected to expand due to increasing awareness and affordability initiatives.
Invisible orthodontics is a segment of the dental industry that focuses on correcting malocclusions and other dental issues using discreet appliances. The patient population for invisible orthodontics in China includes children and adolescents, as well as adults seeking aesthetic dental procedures. Malocclusion, periodontal disease, dental caries, gum disease, oral diseases, disorders, oral cancer, congenital abnormalities, and cosmetic dental concerns are common reasons for seeking dental procedures. Invisible braces are gaining popularity due to their aesthetic appeal and ability to address dental issues such as gaps, crowded teeth, and misalignments without the use of traditional brackets and wires. Routine cleaning, oral examinations, preventive therapies, and radiographs are essential components of dental care that contribute to the growth of the market. Digital computer imaging is also playing a significant role in the diagnosis and treatment planning process, enhancing the overall patient experience.
The market research report provides comprehensive data (region-wise segment analysis), with forecasts and estimates in "USD Billion" for the period 2024-2028, as well as historical data from 2018 - 2022 for the following segments.
The clear aligners segment is estimated to witness significant growth during the forecast period. Invisible orthodontics, represented primarily by clear aligners, have gained significant traction in China's dental market due to their aesthetic appeal and patient-friendly features. Malocclusion, dental diseases such as periodontal disease and dental caries, affect a substantial patient population, particularly among children and adolescents. Invisible orthodontic solutions provide an alternative to traditional braces, which can be less appealing due to their metallic appearance. Clear aligners are custom-made, transparent, and removable, enabling patients to maintain good oral hygiene through routine cleaning, oral examinations, and preventive therapies. These aligners offer minimal discomfort during treatment and are more convenient as they do not irritate the gums and cheeks.
Advancements in orthodontic technology include digital computer imaging, 3D technology, additive fabrication, and temporary anchorage devices. Digital scanning technology and CAD/CAM appliances facilitate the creation of custom-fit aligners. Orthodontic associations and hospitals promote the use of these modern techniques, while general dentists and orthodontists collaborate to expand the orthodontics market. Telemedicine and teledentistry further enhance accessibility to orthodontic care, particularly in rural areas. Lingual braces, aesthetic brackets, and ceramic braces are other popular orthodontic solutions that cater to diverse patient preferences.

The prevalence of malocclusion and related risk factors is the key driver of the market. Invisible orthodontics, a discreet alternative to traditional braces, cater to a significant patient population afflicted with malocclusion, a dental condition characterized by misalignment or irregularity of the teeth. Malocclusion can stem from various causes, including dental diseases such as periodontal disease and dental caries, as well as bad oral habits and injuries. Malocclusion is a prevalent dental disorder, affecting approximately 60%-70% of the global population, making it the third most common dental condition after tooth decay and periodontal disease. Annually, approximately 10 million individuals in major developed economies undergo orthodontic treatment, with invisible orthodontics gaining popularity due to their aesthetic appeal.
Further, orthodontic procedures encompass a range of dental interventions, from medical emergencies to aesthetic dental procedures. These procedures include routine cleaning, oral examinations, and preventive therapies for various oral diseases and disorders. Invisible orthodontics utilizes advanced technologies like digital computer imaging, 3D technology, and digital scanning technology in the fabrication of appliances such as copper titanium, nickel wires, temporary anchorage devices, 3D impression scanners, CAD/CAM appliances, Incognito lingual braces, clear aligners, and aesthetic brackets like ceramic braces. The orthodontics market continues to evolve, with innovations in technology driving growth. Teledentistry and telemedicine have emerged as viable options for remote consultation and monitoring, allowing orthodontists and general dentists to expand their reach and provide more accessible care.
The Orthodontics Association plays a crucial role in promoting best practices and advancing the field through ongoing research and education. Invisible orthodontics, with its myriad of benefits, continues to be a vital component of the orthodontics market, catering to the diverse needs of patients.
The application of nanotechnology in orthodontics is the upcoming trend in the market. Invisible orthodontics, a branch of dentistry utilizing nanotechnology, is gaining popularity among the patient population in China due to its aesthetic appeal and effectiveness in addressing malocclusions and dental disorders such as periodontal disease, dental caries, and oral diseases. Nanotechnology applications in orthodontics include the use of digital computer imaging, 3D technology, and additive fabrication for producing copper titanium, nickel wires, and digital scanning technology. CAD/CAM appliances like Incognito lingual braces and clear aligners are increasingly preferred for their discreetness and convenience. The Orthodontics Association advocates for routine oral examinations, preventive therapies, and dental procedures, including radiographs and temporary anchorage devices.
Moreover, nanotechnology is also being integrated into teledentistry and telemedicine for remote diagnosis and treatment. Dentists, including general dentists and orthodontists, are employing 3D impression scanners and advanced materials like ceramic braces and aesthetic brackets to enhance patient satisfaction and improve overall dental health.
The high cost of invisible orthodontics coupled with limited reimbursement is a key challenge affecting the market growth. Invisible orthodontics, characterized by the use of aligners or lingual braces instead of traditional metal braces, cater to a growing patient population in China seeking aesthetic dental procedures. Malocclusion, dental disease, periodontal disease, and dental caries are common oral health issues driving the demand for orthodontic treatments. The orthodontics market in China includes various dental procedures, from routine cleaning and oral examinations to preventive therapies and medical emergencies. Advanced technologies like digital computer imaging, 3D technology, additive fabrication, and CAD/CAM appliances have revolutionized the orthodontics industry. However, the high cost of these advanced treatments, including invisible orthodontics, acts as a barrier to adoption in developing economies like China.
Further, customized invisible orthodontic devices, such as Incognito lingual braces and clear aligners, can cost up to USD 10,000, while the average price ranges between USD 2,750 and USD 8,000. The Orthodontics Association, hospitals, general dentists, and orthodontists offer these treatments, with teledentistry and telemedicine also gaining popularity. Key technologies like digital scanning technology, temporary anchorage devices, and 3D impression scanners are transforming the orthodontics landscape. Despite the high cost, the benefits of invisible orthodontics, such as improved aesthetics and comfort, make it a preferred choice for many patients.
