Adult orthodontics Europe is the dominant end-user segment by value as adult patients paying privately accept premium pricing for clear aligner and lingual braces Europe treatments. Germany orthodontics market is the largest national market in Europe due to Germany's dental health culture, strong statutory dental insurance orthodontics coverage for under-18 patients, and large number of orthodontic specialist practices. UK orthodontics market is the second-largest, with NHS orthodontics waiting lists driving private clear aligner and Europe clear aligner market growth for adult patients.
