The Evolving Role of General Dentists
The clear aligners market is seeing an increasing involvement of general dentists. Traditionally, orthodontic treatment was performed exclusively by orthodontists. However, with the advent of user-friendly digital planning tools and the simplicity of clear aligner therapy for mild to moderate cases, many general dentists are now incorporating clear aligners into their practice. This trend is expanding the number of providers and making treatment more accessible to patients who may not have access to a specialist. The training and support provided by major aligner companies, along with the convenience of in-office 3D printing, are enabling general dentists to confidently offer these services. This growing segment of providers is a major contributor to the overall expansion of the Clear Aligners Market.
