The Germany clear aligners market growth is primarily attributed to the growing prevalence of dental problems and increasing demand for dental cosmetic procedures across the country. However, the high cost of clear aligners restrains the market growth.

Aligners implement calibrated force to move teeth from one position to another, provoking the body to adapt to bone remodelling.

The polyurethane plastic segment held the largest market share in 2021. Polyurethane is a versatile elastomer plastic used in various proportions in clear aligners manufacturing. Polyurethane plastic has various properties such as hardness, flexibility, resistance to water and oil, strong bonding with compounding materials, and tear resistance. Polyurethane material after prolonged exposure to the oral environment/intraoral usage causes product deformities. The polyurethane aligners are thermally stable to a certain limit. It helps tolerate hot food consumption during its use.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Germany Clear Aligners Market

Germany reported a decline in almost all businesses, particularly small businesses, due to COVID-19 pandemic. During COVID-19 pandemic, many dental procedures were delayed or cancelled due to imposed lockdown across Germany, which declined the demand for clear aligners. Dentistry being a high-contact and elective service, most dental clinics were closed during the pandemic. Dental treatment with clear aligners requires less number of doctor visits than the traditional braces and wires, which propels the demand for clear aligners. After the measures taken by the government to sustain the virus, in 2021, dental practices in Germany started to operate regularly owing to the growing number of patient inflows, which is increasing demand for clear aligners. Thus, COVID-19 pandemic had a moderate effect on the Germany clear aligner market.
