Segmentation

By Mobility Degree

The market is divided into rigid, semi-rigid, and flexible. In 2022, the rigid segment accounted for the highest revenue share due to the advantages including low material costs, easy accessibility in dental offices, and simplicity of adjustment. The majority of people use the Nighttime Dental Guard by Oral-B, one of the top nightguards on the market. The principles of jaw bone fractures are used in tooth splinting, allowing for rigid immobilization for a few months. Long-term harsh splinting will most certainly increase the risk of pulp necrosis and external root resorption. To stabilize the repositioned tooth in cases when support is provided by neighbouring teeth, semi-rigid dental splints are used. Consequently, during the forecast period, a large CAGR is expected for the semi-rigid segment.

In the global market, the offline segment accounted for the largest revenue share in 2022 owing to the fact that market participants need to update their organization in order to meet client expectations and improve their leadership in a highly competitive environment such as the dental care industry. They also need to put marketing strategies into practise.
