Dental malocclusion is more common among children and adolescents, and its prevalence varies from 39% to 93% in this population. Crossbite, open bite, overbite, and spacing are among the most prevailing orthodontic problems. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), malocclusion is one of the most important oral health problems after caries and periodontal disease. Moreover, as per Align Technology, one of the major players in the dental industry, there are ~12 million cases of dental misalignment and malocclusion in the world, which are being treated, and Asia Pacific accounts for one-third of the cases. As per a study published in the Nature journal, the pooled malocclusion prevalence was 45.50% among preschoolers in Mainland China from 1988 to 2017. The prevalence of malocclusion in India has been observed to be ranging from 20% to 43%. Therefore, an increasing burden of malocclusion patients is boosting the adoption of orthodontic treatment procedures, thereby driving the orthodontic services market in the region.
With new features and technologies, vendors can attract new customers and expand their footprints in emerging markets. This factor is likely to drive the Asia Pacific orthodontic services market at a substantial CAGR during the forecast period.
