Clear aligner material refers to the specialized thermoplastic polymers used in the production of clear dental aligners, which are transparent orthodontic devices designed to straighten teeth as an alternative to traditional braces. These materials must balance strength, flexibility, transparency, and biocompatibility, ensuring they can withstand the forces of tooth movement while remaining comfortable and safe for long-term wear in the oral cavity.
Common clear aligner materials include polyurethane, PETG (polyethylene terephthalate glycol), and multilayer copolyesters, often engineered into advanced multilayer films that combine toughness with elasticity. Modern formulations are designed to resist staining, maintain clarity, and provide sustained force delivery over time. With the growth of digital dentistry and 3D printing, some aligner systems now use custom-blended resins or thermoformable sheets optimized for precision forming over 3D-printed dental models. As clear aligner therapy expands globally, material innovation continues to focus on improved comfort, faster treatment cycles, and eco-friendly manufacturing solutions.
In recent years, with shifts in consumer preferences, braces have gained popularity among consumers for their aesthetic, comfort, and convenience. Their share of the dental device market is also increasing. Braces offer excellent results and significant advantages. However, due to high initial development and marketing costs, braces are currently expensive. However, with market expansion and declining unit costs, prices are expected to decline to some extent in the future, which will benefit the overall market.
The global clear brace material market is highly monopolistic, primarily dominated by companies from the United States, Europe, and China, including Align Technology, Straumann Group, 3M, Angelalign, and Dentsply Sirona. These international giants have long controlled the international clear brace material supply chain. The domestic market previously relied on imports. Since Angelalign developed brace materials in 2016, this has, to a certain extent, broken the long-standing monopoly of foreign manufacturers in this product category. However, due to brand recognition, it is currently difficult for small companies to enter the market and gain a significant market share.
Clear braces are made of several materials, including PETG and TPU. Most popular brace brands use TPU or PETG. TPU is a high-quality material with special properties that make it particularly crack-resistant, comfortable, and effective for thin aligners. On the other hand, the cost of producing high-quality aligners using TPU is also higher, making PETG a popular alternative.
