How many people wear retainers in America?

Hi! I am currently writing a commercial for a product that cleans removable dental devices and while I have statistics for the number of people in America who wear dentures, I do not have statistics for the number of people who wear bite plates, retainers, and clear dental aligners. Would you be able to tell me how many teenagers, and/or how many people in general, wear retainers and similar devices? Thank You!
