Abstract

The purpose of this review article is to give dental professionals a better knowledge of how adult orthodontics and periodontics interact. The effects of orthodontic bands on the periodontium, how periodontal tissue responds to orthodontic forces, the impact of tooth movement on the periodontium, the effectiveness of circumferential supracrestal fiberotomy in preventing orthodontic relapse, the specific microbiology connected to orthodontic bands, mucogingival considerations, and the timing of orthodontic and periodontal therapy are some of the specific topics covered. Also covered will be the connection between orthodontics and implant restorations (such as using dental implants as anchors for braces). The fundamental goal of periodontal therapy is to improve and preserve the strength and health of the teeth's attachment system. Adults may experience pathological tooth migration involving a single tooth or a group of teeth as a result of tooth loss or periodontal support. As a result of the posterior occlusion collapsing and the vertical dimension shrinking, this may lead to the formation of a median diastema or general spacing of the teeth with or without incisal proclination, rotation, or tilting of bicuspids and molars. To resolve these issues, adjunctive orthodontic therapy is required. Additionally, as listed in Table 1, orthodontic therapy can help with the management of a number of restorative and aesthetic issues involving shattered teeth, tipped abutment teeth, excessive spacing, insufficient pontic space, misshapen teeth, hypererupted incisors, and diastema/frena. This article's goal is to review periodontics and adult orthodontics-related topics
