Dai Qiaoling, Founder of CIC Consulting

At this forum, Dai Qiaoling, founder of CIC Consulting, identified three key drivers for the future growth of clear aligners based on long-term industry trends: First, the demand curve continues to rise, as both the overall orthodontic penetration rate and the clear aligner penetration rate in China remain in their early stages, leaving substantial room for growth compared to Europe and the United States. Second, rapid technological iteration—from advancements in materials and design to innovations in digital tools—is continuously enhancing case predictability and control. Third, clinical practice is steadily maturing, with upgrades to institutional systems and the accumulation of physician experience driving overall industry progress. These three trajectories collectively form the foundation for the mid-to-long-term growth of the clear aligner market.
