The global clear aligner market, valued at $5 billion in 2024, is expected to soar to $13.4 billion by 2031, according to iData Research’s 2025 Global Clear Aligner and Other Orthodontics Market Report. This explosive growth is driven by 3D printing advancements, rising demand for pediatric orthodontics, and increased adoption of white-label aligner programs by DSOs and dental labs.
The report highlights a significant shift toward in-house aligner production, enabled by FDA-cleared 3D printing resins from companies like LuxCreo and Keystone Industries. These innovations help practices reduce costs, speed up delivery, and expand access—especially in underserved or cost-sensitive regions. Pediatric programs such as Invisalign First™ and Spark™ with BiteSync™ are also enabling earlier treatment during jaw development, potentially reducing the need for more complex interventions later.
Clear aligners, though smaller in unit volume compared to braces or retainers, generate the highest market revenue due to their premium pricing. Meanwhile, retainers remain the most widely used appliance globally, vital for maintaining treatment results. Emerging markets, including Latin America and Southeast Asia, are adopting hybrid in-clinic and DTC models to broaden access and enhance credibility.
The report also notes rapid growth in B2B and OEM clear aligner sales, allowing DSOs, large clinics, and labs to launch branded aligner lines without the overhead of manufacturing infrastructure. AI-driven treatment planning, improved aligner materials, and faster workflows continue to push case complexity boundaries.
Designed for dental suppliers, clear aligner manufacturers, and DSO executives, this report provides essential data for strategic planning, regional investment, and competitor benchmarking.
