The demand for clear aligner treatment is growing at a rapid pace due to increased demand for aesthetic dentistry and knowledge about malocclusions. Habits like thumb sucking, and mouth breathing can contribute to this dental malalignment. According to a new report published by UnivDatos Markets Insights, the clear aligner market was valued at more than US$3.8 billion in 2020 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of around 25% from 2022 to 2028.
Experts in the field suggest that aligners are chosen because of increased awareness of recent advancements in dental hygiene, the advent of social media information, and a shift in beauty standards. These have increased the adoption of clear aligners, leading to market growth.
Adding to it, many Orthodontists and clear aligner companies have started Research and development to further increase the prospects of Clear aligners. Dr.Meenu BDS, MDS Orthodontist of Dental Point says she treats the majority of her teenage patients with clear aligners or Invisalign if that’s the best option for them. For others, traditional braces are chosen. Due to convenience like comfort and less pain, teens and their parents choose aligners.
Adolescents are more aligner users, but there is a tremendous increase in adult segments and that’s where rapid growth is expected over the years. Many working-class men and women see smile improvement as a necessity in their careers and businesses.
Major players include Invisalign, Dent Care aligners, Flash aligners, and 7 other brands that are done in Dental Point. With the vision of our in-house specialist Dr.Meenu, there is a constant effort to enhance the treatment outcome.

Three million teens worldwide have chosen to have Invisalign treatment over braces, with experts citing the reliable and discreet nature of clear aligners as reasons for teenagers opting for Invisalign over fixed alternatives. A clinical trial with forty patients demonstrated that Invisalign treatment with mandibular advancement is effective in treating Class II malocclusion in growing teens.
One of our Invisalign patient’s mother Reena Mathew (name changed) says she chose this for its simple and predictable nature. She claims that her son’s Invisalign journey was hassle-free, with only a few appointments, as he is taking board examinations this year. Traditional braces may have hampered his education owing to hectic schedules in 10th standard and the requirement for repeated appointments.
Having said that aligners are not the go-to option in all the patients. An orthodontist can study the case and suggest the best option for you. Consult your specialist today.
