As per Future Market Insights’ latest industry analysis, the valuation for the global 3d printed clear dental aligners industry was around USD 139.1 Million in 2023 and is projected to exhibit a CAGR of 8.4% over the forecast period, with an estimated valuation of USD 332.7 Million in 2033.
Dental professionals can use 3D printing technology to create highly customized clear dental aligners that are tailored to the patient’s specific orthodontic needs. As a result, treatment outcomes can be more effective and efficient. Unlike traditional braces, which use visible wires and brackets, clear dental aligners are made of a transparent material that makes them almost invisible. As a result, they are popular among patients who prefer a more discreet orthodontic treatment option.
Cosmetic dentistry is becoming more widely recognized worldwide as more people seek treatments to improve the appearance of their teeth. Customers are increasingly selecting orthodontic procedures that are less noticeable than traditional braces. Clear aligners are easier to remove and more distinct when eating, brushing, and flossing. Clear dental aligners provide precise and convenient option for teeth straightening, which is propelling market growth.
Digital workflows are becoming more common in dentistry, with several dental practices investing in digital scanning and imaging technology. These technologies are used to create extremely accurate 3D models of a patient’s teeth and jaw, which are then used to design and manufacture custom clear aligners.
The market for 3D printed clear dental aligners is expanding into new geographic markets, including Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and the Middle East. Rising demand for orthodontic treatments in these regions, as well as increased adoption of 3D printing technology by dental professionals, are driving this expansion.
In recent years, several companies have emerged that provide clear aligners directly to consumers, eliminating the need for an in-person consultation with a dental professional. These businesses typically use 3D printing technology to create the aligners, and they provide a more convenient and cost-effective alternative to traditional orthodontic treatments.
Key Takeaways from Market Study:
- Polyurethane Resin (PU) material is the leading segment as material, and holds around 1% market value share in the global market in 2022, owing to rising demand for orthodontic treatments and increasing adoption of 3D printing technology and growing demand for cosmetic dentistry.
- Digital Light Processing (DLP) segment led the global market with value share of around 8% by 2022, owing to its several advantages including improvement in treatment outcomes and patient satisfaction.
- By end user, dental hospitals held a share of around 8% in 2022; because dental hospitals provide improved patient experience, cost-effectiveness, and faster lead time influenced by the adoption of 3D printing technology.
- North America held a value share of around 1% in 2022, owing to the technological advancement, cost-effective, and growing consumer awareness in this region.
“Increasing adoption of 3D printing technology, rising prevalence of orthodontics treatments, growing demand for clear aligners owed to comfort and customization options, and reduced treatment time are propelling the 3D printed clear dental aligners market globally,” says an analyst of Future Market Insights.
