Abstract
Orthodontic treatment aims to correct malocclusions and ensure the overall
health and stability of the periodontium. The relationship between orthodontic therapy
and periodontal health is intricate and multifaceted, and a comprehensive approach is
often required to achieve optimal outcomes. Firstly, this article delves into the impact
of orthodontic mechanics on periodontal tissues, emphasizing the importance of minimizing
iatrogenic effects such as root resorption and gingival recession. Understanding
the biomechanical principles allows for the development of treatment plans that mitigate
these risks while achieving the desired tooth movement. Effective communication and
coordinated treatment protocols are essential for managing periodontal issues before, during,
and after orthodontic intervention. To optimize outcomes, periodontal considerations
such as gingival biotype, attachment levels, and bone support must be integrated into
treatment planning. Additionally, adjunctive periodontal therapies such as selective alveolar
decortication and regenerative procedures are explored as valuable tools to enhance
periodontal support and optimize treatment outcomes. This narrative review explores
strategies to attain periodontal goals in orthodontic patients, thereby facilitating successful
treatment. Furthermore, the review examines the role of interdisciplinary collaborations
between orthodontists and periodontists. In conclusion, achieving periodontal goals in
orthodontic patients requires a comprehensive approach that addresses biomechanical
principles, interdisciplinary collaboration, patient education, and adjunctive periodontal
therapies. By integrating periodontal considerations into orthodontic treatment planning
and execution, clinicians can ensure straight teeth and a healthy and stable periodontium,
ultimately leading to successful treatment outcomes and long-term oral health.
