The clear aligner boom dentists can’t afford to ignore

Smart Aligner Services shares why the clear aligner market is growing so quickly, and how dentists can take advantage of this growth.

Digital transformation in dentistry is no longer a future trend – it’s a present reality. And at the forefront of this change are clear aligners, which have evolved from an aesthetic alternative into a powerful, in-demand, and highly profitable treatment option.

But how fast is the clear aligner market really growing? And more importantly, how can general dentists and orthodontists take advantage of this momentum?

Growth that speaks for itself

According to a recent report by Nova One Advisor, the European clear aligner market was valued at $1.95 billion in 2023 and is projected to reach $19.98 billion by 2033. That’s a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.2% between 2024 and 2033.

Several key factors are driving this exponential growth:

  • Increasing patient awareness and demand for aesthetic treatments
  • Advances in digital orthodontics and treatment planning
  • Broader range of treatable cases
  • Preference for non-invasive, removable alternatives to braces.

Why are so many dentists still hesitant?

Despite the booming market, many dental professionals have yet to incorporate clear aligners into their practices. The most common reasons include:

  • Lack of specific training
  • Uncertainty about which cases to treat
  • Concerns about treatment predictability.

Fortunately, there are now targeted resources designed to help dentists overcome these obstacles – safely and confidently.
