Market Insights

Growing Prevalence of Dental Problems

Dental and oral conditions affect people once in their lifetime. A single toothache can cause discomfort, pain, and disfigurement. As per the Global Burden of Diseases Study in 2016, oral diseases have affected ~3.58 billion people across the world. Dental diseases include dental caries. Periodontal disease, which results in tooth loss, was the 11th most prevalent dental disease around the globe. The prevalence of dental and oral conditions, such as crooked teeth, overbites, underbites, crossbites, spaces between teeth, teeth overcrowding, is rising across the region. In addition, the surging number of temporomandibular disorders (TMD) treatment has been reported. The periodontal diseases, injuries, and accidents are among the significant causes that may lead to dental problems. According to the Canadian Association of Orthodontists data, more than 4 million people in Canada and the US are taking treatment from an orthodontic specialist. Also, as per the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data, around 31.6% population had untreated dental caries during 2013–2016 in the US.
In a study published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) 2019, Africa recorded the higher prevalence of Class I (90%) malocclusion than Class II malocclusions (7.5%). The maximum incidence of Class II, Class III, and open bite malocclusions were recorded in Europe (31.95%), Asia (5.76%), and Africa (8.3%), respectively. Moreover, the deep bite was considerably higher in Europe (37.4%) than other regions. Furthermore, according to the World Health Organization (WHO) the Africa has the highest prevalence of Class I malocclusions (92.47%) in mixed dentition. However, the prevalence of Class II malocclusions (5.1%) was lowest, while Caucasians resulted in the lowest prevalence of open bite (3.7%). The Mongoloid population showed the highest prevalence of Class III (10.95%).
Government support is helping people to get treated with their dental problems. The dental issues are generally observed in the children. Therefore, the government is focusing more on dental health in school. For instance, the CDC provides management and guidance for state and community programs. The program assists to plan, set up, and evaluate school sealant programs and to complement services that are provided by private dentists. The rising prevalence of various dental diseases has increased the use of clear aligners, which propels the growth of the clear aligners market.
