Clear Aligners Market Summary
The global clear aligners market size was estimated at USD 8.29 billion in 2025 and is projected to reach USD 56.81 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of 26.95% from 2026 to 2033. The growing shift toward adult orthodontic treatment is emerging as a key demand driver for clear aligners.
The 2025 study Orthodontic Treatment with Fixed Appliances Versus Aligners highlights that the increasing number of adult patients is actively reshaping clinical orthodontic practice. As adults prioritize aesthetics, comfort, and treatment discretion, demand is shifting away from traditional fixed appliances toward less visible alternatives. The comparative evaluation of braces and aligners in the study reinforces that this demographic preference is structurally strengthening the long-term adoption of clear aligners in routine orthodontic care.
