U.S. Dental Splint Market Size Worth $220.6 Million By 2030

U.S. Dental Splint Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. dental splint market size is expected to reach USD 220.6 million by 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., The market is anticipated to expand at a CAGR of 6.1% from 2022 to 2030. It is widely accepted that oral health significantly affects overall health. Oral hygiene maintenance is equally as crucial as caring for other body components. People have just recently begun to realize how important keeping proper dental and oral hygiene is. For instance, more people are becoming aware of the function of the temporomandibular joint (TMJ) as well as other illnesses and possible treatments. The market for dental splints has expanded as a result.

In the United States, dentists are in charge of instructing their patients on how to properly prevent tooth decay, periodontal diseases, and other issues with oral health. The National Children's Dental Health Month, awareness program is sponsored by the American Dental Association in the United States in February to make parents and kids more conscious of the value of maintaining good oral health. The campaign's main goal is to educate young people on the value of routine teeth brushing and dental checkups to stave off dental issues.

After tension headaches and back pain, TMD pain is the third most common chronic pain disease globally. Because TMD pain can mirror other disorders, many TMD sufferers go misdiagnosed. Women are more prone than men to suffer from TMJ issues, and those who use oral contraceptives or more estrogen are more likely to seek treatment.

According to a recent study, between 11 and 12 million American adults suffer from temporomandibular joint pain. Women are twice as likely as males to get temporomandibular problems, especially if they are between the ages of 35 and 44. With a TMJ repositioning splint, one common treatment involves realigning the jaw into the right position. By cushioning your teeth, a dental splint can help with jaw alignment, ease face muscle strain, and improve jaw alignment. Hence, the demand for dental splints in the US will probably be driven by this.

The pandemic has decreased demand for dental supplies and equipment, which has had an impact on new investments in dental healthcare and education. Due to the product's disrupted supply chain and national lockdown regulations, sales and income for oral care items such as dental splints and mouth guards were also below average in the first half of 2020.

However, the market expanded significantly in 2021 as a result of the stress disorder linked to COVID-19. Dentistry was not exempt from the COVID-19 outbreak's impact on nearly every aspect of our way of life. Given that stress is one of the main causes of bruxism, the rise in cases over the previous two years is not surprising. Since the start of the COVID-19 epidemic, the majority of dental practitioners have observed a considerable increase in stress-related oral health conditions. This had a positive impact on the market for dental splints in 2021.
