Many populations suffer from dental problems such as crocked teeth malocclusions, gum disease, and periodontal diseases. The population includes children and adults with a high prevalence rate of various dental problems. The increasing prevalence rate of dental problems such as crooked teeth, spaces between teeth, overbites, teeth overcrowding, and others created the demand for orthodontic supplies to treat such conditions. Moreover, the increasing awareness among people about oral health and dental problems has created the demand for orthodontic supplies, which helps healthcare professionals maintain good oral health among patients. Furthermore, the increasing prevalence rate of dental problems among large populations, especially among children, has taken initiatives to increase awareness and provide dental services under various government schemes for treatment. Thus, the rising prevalence of dental problems, rising awareness, and government initiatives are creating demand for orthodontic supplies, driving the growth of the orthodontic supplies market.
