Market Dynamics
Driver
High prevalence of dental malocclusion
In the orthodontics market, the differential diagnosis of malocclusion explores the risk factors that may include but are not limited to genetic factors, habits such as thumb or pacifier sucking, bony deformities such as jaw/facial shape or size, tooth agenesis, dental arch crowding, trauma as well as skeletal framework problems. Malocclusion has a significant impact on adolescents, leading to avoidance strategies like hiding teeth, avoiding smiling, or seeking treatment. This can lead to negative feelings and low self-esteem.
- A study found that females had a higher prevalence of malocclusion (55% compared to males). Most females were more prevalent than males in all classes except for Class III. The study also found that Class III malocclusion was 6%, consistent with previous studies.
Restraint
High cost of treatment
Orthodontic treatments are costly, and not everyone can afford them. It is difficult for low-income people to get braces or even aligners. The rising cost of raw materials, machinery, equipment, and professionals in the field leads to very few people accessing these services, leaving most of the population in such regions. Some of the contributing cost factors include the high cost of consumables, brackets, and other types of orthodontic appliances, as well as the time taken to complete the orthodontic treatment and the personal dental malposition of the patient.
Opportunity
Technological advancements
The evolution of orthodontics has brought about progress in the methods of diagnosis and treatment in the orthodontics market. Moreover, the introduction of AI in medicine has enhanced patient care, cut treatment costs, and facilitated treatment planning. The introduction of intraoral scanners, digital models, and CBCT systems has greatly improved patient care and treatment delivery. The technology of AI has also drastically changed the way how oral disorders can be detected. A lot of literature continues to be published in periodicals now and then, which aids in scientific and clinical advancement and further encourages the seeking of knowledge in all aspects of orthodontics.
