全球保持器市场的成长与全球矫正治疗量的成长密切相关。随着使用隐形矫正器和传统矫正治疗的患者人数持续增加，维持治疗效果所需的维持器需求也随之增加。维持器对于矫正治疗后维持牙齿排列至关重要，其持续使用已成为牙科市场的标准临床通讯协定。

固定式和活动式保持器都必不可少，但透明保持器因其美观和舒适性而越来越受欢迎。对于注重耐用性和可调节性的患者来说，霍利保持器仍然非常重要。总体而言，维持器市场受益于人们对矫正后维护意识的提高、矫正诊所数量的增加以及牙体技术所数位化工作流程和3D列印技术的普及。

市场概览

维持器是矫正后护理的核心部分，用于在佩戴牙套或隐形矫正器后保持牙齿的正确位置。市面上的保持器种类繁多，包括有孔保持器、透明保持器和固定保持器，每一种都根据患者的需求和偏好定制。

全球矫正治疗的持续扩张是推动维持器市场稳定成长的主要因素。随着已开发国家和新兴国家矫正治疗病例数的增加，需要维持器的患者人数也随之增加。因此，维持器不再被视为可有可无的术后护理产品，而是矫正治疗週期中不可或缺的一部分。

在北美和西欧等成熟市场，由于磨损、破损和材料劣化等原因，患者通常每隔几年就需要更换新的维持器，因此维持器的销售是一项稳定的收入来源。同时，在亚太和拉丁美洲等开发中地区，可支配收入的增加和矫正服务可及性的提高正在推动人们首次使用维持器。

科技进步正在再形成产业格局。数位化矫正和3D列印技术的兴起改变了维持器的设计和製造方式。拥有内部实验室或与数位化实验室合作的诊所现在可以快速地扫描、设计和製造维持器，无论是在诊所内还是外部，都能显着缩短製作週期。个人化客製化和数位化製造维持器的能力提高了患者的便利性，并降低了诊所的长期成本。

此外，市场也出现了向透明热塑性保持器转变的趋势。这类产品轻盈、透明、美观，满足了人们对极简主义矫正解决方案日益增长的偏好。它们价格实惠且易于更换，因此尤其受到先前使用过隐形矫正器患者的欢迎。

相反，霍利保持器（Holley 保持器）结合了丙烯酸树脂底座和金属丝，因其出色的耐用性和可调节性而深受许多患者的欢迎。虽然不易察觉，但霍利保持器可以随着时间的推移进行维修和更换，从而减少了长期使用者的更换频率。舒适性、成本和性能之间的这种平衡使得这两种产品类型能够在市场上并存。

全球保持器市场也受惠于牙科支持组织（DSO）的扩张。随着DSO在国际上的发展，它们实现了矫正治疗流程的标准化，提高了采购效率，并增加了患者获得全面术后服务的机会。这些组织层面的改进促使维持器成为不同患者群体矫正治疗的标准步骤之一。

市场驱动因素

隐形矫正器和传统正畸的兴起

使用隐形矫正器和传统牙套进行矫正治疗的患者人数不断增加，直接导致了维持器需求的成长。每次矫正治疗后都需要配戴维持器以防止復发，这使得维持器使用者群体庞大且稳定。

根据矫正医师的建议，维持器通常需要佩戴四个月到一年或更长时间。在许多情况下，建议延长夜间配戴时间，以长期维持矫正效果。随着全球矫正治疗量的增加，对维持器的需求也随之成长。

这种动态将维持器市场与整个矫正器品类的成功紧密连结起来。隐形矫正器的普及、新兴市场矫正治疗费用的降低，以及儿童和成人治疗率的不断提高，都在推动维持器市场的稳定成长。

儿童隐形矫正器

儿童专用隐形矫正器的推出扩大了年轻成人的矫正器市场。 Align Technology公司于2018年推出的Invisalign First™专为6至10岁处于早期混合齿列期的儿童设计。该产品旨在解决正在发育的咬合不正，并提倡在恆牙全部萌出前进行早期疗育。

同样在2025年，Envista透过其Ormco部门推出了配备BiteSync™技术的Spark™隐形矫正器，专为儿童和成人设计。这些治疗方法的进步使得儿童矫正治疗得到了广泛认可。因此，完成隐形矫正治疗并随后需要配戴维持器的儿童人数显着增加。

预计儿童人口的不断增长将继续成为市场长期扩张的关键因素，因为家长们越来越意识到正畸治疗应该在更早的年纪开始，而治疗后保持器的需求也确保了产品需求的持续增长。

圣侍从价格上涨

虽然霍利保持器在美观上不如透明维持器，但由于其强度高、可调节性好且使用寿命长，仍然很受欢迎。然而，在许多牙体技术所，霍利保持器的单价高于透明维持器。

高平均售价部分源自于其生产所需的人工成本：每副霍利保持器都需要定製印模、弯曲金属丝，并进行手动调整以达到最佳贴合度。随着人事费用和材料成本的上涨，牙体技术所正将这些成本转嫁给消费者，从而推动整个市场的收入成长。

虽然霍利保持器的需求成长速度可能不如透明维持器，但其较高的价格有助于维持其在市场上的价值。该产品经久耐用，因此正畸医生会继续推荐其用于需要长期稳定性和更强结构支撑的病例。

市场驱动因素

人们越来越偏好透明的保持器

隐形维持器如今已成为大多数矫正治疗后患者的首选，其隐形、舒适和隐蔽性备受青睐，尤其受到那些已经完成隐形矫正器治疗的患者欢迎。相较之下，哈雷保持器则较为显眼、笨重，并且含有金属部件，可能会刺激软组织并影响发音。

人们越来越偏好选择透明维持器，这限制了霍利保持器的市场份额，尤其是在成人和青少年患者中。此外，透明维持器的製造成本通常较低，这也导致了整个市场平均售价的下降。随着数位化工作流程的扩展，临床医生和实验室越来越能够快速、经济高效地生产透明维持器，进一步巩固了其市场优势。

实验室集成

牙体技术所产业的整合正在重塑竞争格局。在欧洲、北美和亚洲，小型独立实验室正在合併或被大型集团收购。这一趋势使小型实验室能够获得更多资金，从而投资于自动化、数位化扫描和3D列印技术。

虽然整合提高了效率和工作流程，但也加剧了能够提供更快週转时间和更低价格的实验室之间的竞争。因此，在某些市场，随着整合后的实验室实现规模经济并将节省的成本转嫁给牙科诊所，价格压力将会出现。这种持续的转变将使客户受益，但可能会抑制整个牙科诊所平均售价的成长。

3D列印技术的出现

3D列印技术在牙体技术所和诊所的快速普及正在改变生产经济模式。直接根据数位扫描资料3D列印维持器，可显着缩短生产时间并减少材料浪费。

简称

The global teeth retainer market was valued at nearly $3.4 billion in 2024 and is expected to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 3.7 percent, reaching nearly $4.4 billion by 2031.

This report provides a comprehensive analysis of the global market for teeth retainers, quantifying unit sales, average selling prices (ASPs), market values, and growth trends. It includes market forecasts to 2031 and historical data to 2021, along with an assessment of market drivers, limiters, pricing trends, and technology shifts.

The growth of the global retainer market is closely linked to the expansion of orthodontic treatment volumes worldwide. As the number of patients using clear aligners and traditional braces continues to rise, so too does the need for retainers to preserve treatment outcomes. Retainers are critical in maintaining tooth alignment following orthodontic correction, and their ongoing use remains standard clinical protocol across dental markets.

Both fixed and removable retainers remain essential, with clear retainers gaining popularity due to their aesthetic appeal and comfort. Hawley retainers maintain relevance for patients prioritizing durability and adjustability. Overall, the teeth retainer market benefits from growing awareness of post-orthodontic maintenance, the increasing number of orthodontic providers, and the wider accessibility of digital workflows and 3D printing technology within dental laboratories.

Market Overview

Teeth retainers represent a core component of post-orthodontic care, ensuring that teeth remain in their corrected positions following treatment with braces or aligners. The market encompasses Hawley retainers, clear retainers, and fixed retainers, each addressing distinct patient needs and preferences.

The retainer market's stability and growth are primarily supported by the sustained expansion of orthodontic treatments globally. With orthodontic case volumes climbing across both developed and emerging regions, the number of patients requiring retainers continues to increase. As a result, retainers are now viewed as an integral part of the orthodontic lifecycle, rather than an optional aftercare product.

In mature markets such as North America and Western Europe, retainer replacement sales provide a steady revenue stream. Patients often require new retainers every few years due to wear, breakage, or material degradation. Meanwhile, in developing regions across Asia-Pacific and Latin America, rising disposable income and improving access to orthodontic services are fueling first-time adoption.

Technological advances are reshaping the landscape. The rise of digital orthodontics and 3D printing has transformed how retainers are designed and produced. Clinics with in-house laboratories or partnerships with digital labs can now scan, design, and manufacture retainers on-site or through rapid external fabrication, significantly shortening turnaround times. The ability to customize and reproduce retainers digitally improves patient convenience and reduces long-term costs for practices.

Additionally, the market is experiencing a growing shift toward clear thermoplastic retainers. These products are lightweight, transparent, and aesthetically unobtrusive, aligning with the growing preference for minimally visible orthodontic solutions. Their affordability and ease of replacement have made them particularly popular among patients who previously used clear aligners.

Conversely, Hawley retainers, which combine an acrylic base with metal wires, retain a loyal patient base due to their superior durability and adjustability. Although less discreet, Hawley retainers can be repaired and modified over time, reducing replacement frequency for long-term users. This balance between comfort, cost, and performance ensures that both product types continue to coexist within the market.

The global teeth retainer market is also supported by the expansion of dental support organizations (DSOs). As DSOs grow internationally, they enable standardized orthodontic workflows, enhance purchasing efficiency, and increase patient access to comprehensive post-treatment services. These organizational improvements contribute to the consistent adoption of retainers as a standard phase of orthodontic care across diverse patient populations.

Market Drivers

Increase in Clear Aligners and Traditional Braces

The increasing number of patients undergoing orthodontic treatment using clear aligners or traditional braces directly contributes to rising demand for teeth retainers. Every completed orthodontic case requires a retention phase to prevent relapse, creating a large and recurring base of retainer users.

Retainers are typically worn for four months to over a year, depending on the orthodontist's recommendation. In many cases, long-term nighttime wear is encouraged to maintain results indefinitely. As global orthodontic procedure volumes grow, the corresponding need for retainers continues to expand proportionally.

This dynamic links the retainer market to the broader success of orthodontic device categories. The increased accessibility of aligners, the affordability of braces in emerging markets, and higher treatment rates among both children and adults all reinforce steady growth for retainers.

Clear Aligner for Kids

The introduction of pediatric-focused clear aligner systems has expanded the addressable market for retainers among younger patients. Align Technology's Invisalign First(TM), launched in 2018, was specifically developed for children aged 6 to 10 years in early mixed dentition. This product helps address developing malocclusions and promotes early intervention before permanent teeth fully emerge.

Similarly, in 2025, Envista, through its Ormco division, launched Spark(TM) Aligners with BiteSync(TM), designed for both growing patients and adults. These advancements have driven greater acceptance of orthodontic treatment among pediatric populations. As a result, the number of children completing aligner therapy - and subsequently requiring retainers - has risen substantially.

This growing pediatric demographic is expected to remain an important contributor to long-term market expansion. Parents are increasingly aware that orthodontic care now begins earlier in life, and the need for retainers post-treatment ensures a continuing product demand pipeline.

Increasing Price for Hawley Retainers

Hawley retainers, though less aesthetic than clear retainers, remain popular due to their strength, adjustability, and long service life. However, in many dental laboratories, the price per set of Hawley retainers has increased relative to clear retainers.

Higher ASPs are partly due to the greater labor intensity required for their fabrication. Each Hawley retainer involves custom molding, bending of metal wires, and manual adjustments to achieve optimal fit. As labor costs and material expenses rise, dental labs are passing these costs to consumers, boosting the market's overall revenue growth.

While demand for Hawley retainers may not increase at the same pace as clear retainers, their higher pricing helps maintain overall market value. The product's reputation for durability ensures that orthodontists continue to recommend them in cases requiring long-term stability or greater structural support.

Market Limiters

Rising Preference for Clear Retainers

Clear retainers are now the dominant choice for most post-orthodontic treatments. Patients appreciate their invisibility, comfort, and low profile, particularly those who have completed treatment with clear aligners. In contrast, Hawley retainers are more noticeable, bulkier, and include metal components that can irritate soft tissues or affect speech.

This growing preference for clear retainers limits the unit share of Hawley retainers, especially among adult and adolescent patients. Moreover, clear retainers are generally less expensive to produce, which can place downward pressure on overall market ASPs. As digital workflows expand, clinicians and laboratories are increasingly equipped to produce clear retainers rapidly and at lower cost, further solidifying their dominance.

Laboratory Consolidation

Consolidation within the dental laboratory sector is reshaping the competitive environment. Across Europe, North America, and Asia, smaller independent laboratories are merging or being acquired by larger groups. This trend gives smaller labs access to greater capital resources, allowing them to invest in automation, digital scanning, and 3D printing technologies.

While consolidation enhances efficiency and workflow, it also increases competition among labs capable of offering faster turnaround times and lower pricing. As a result, some markets experience pricing pressure as consolidated laboratories achieve economies of scale and pass savings on to dental practices. This ongoing shift benefits customers but may restrain ASP growth across the broader retainer market.

Emergence of 3D Printing Technology

The rapid adoption of 3D printing in dental laboratories and clinics is transforming production economics. With the ability to fabricate retainers directly from digital scans, 3D printing dramatically reduces production time and material waste.

Several material manufacturers, including Sprintray, Keystone Industries, Graphy, and LuxCreo, now supply specialized clear retainer resins optimized for dental applications. These materials meet regulatory requirements for biocompatibility and durability, enabling laboratories to produce clear retainers with high precision and consistency.

The growing accessibility of this technology allows dental providers to manufacture retainers in-house or outsource them to digital labs at lower costs. While this enhances availability and affordability, it simultaneously puts downward pressure on ASPs as competition increases among providers. Over time, the widespread use of 3D printing will likely shift market focus from volume growth toward value-added services, such as personalized retention monitoring and patient education.
