Individuals seeking orthodontic treatment predominantly consist of children and adolescents. In recent years, the rising interest in dental aesthetics coupled with the increasing prevalence of gum diseases and its associated secondary malaligned teeth and bite issues, have led to a growing demand among adults for orthodontic intervention. According to study in European Journal of Orthodontics, 66.1% of patients who have gum related diseases requires orthodontic treatment for pathological migration of teeth, occlusal trauma and impaired function1 .
Orthodontic treatment acts as a powerful adjunct to periodontics by correcting anatomical defects, improving oral hygiene access, and eliminating destructive occlusal forces. The core of this approach involves moving teeth to optimize tooth alignment and adjust occlusal relationship, thereby facilitating oral hygiene maintenance, improving occlusal function, and enhancing aesthetics.
For individuals who cannot maintain oral hygiene, or who tend to get lot of deposits on teeth due to overlapped or crooked teeth, orthodontic treatment with Braces or aligners can help in straightening the teeth which eliminates tight spaces where food particles and bacterial biofilm get trapped. It will also help in personal brushing and flossing easily to reduce the yellow deposits on teeth.
Advanced periodontitis often leads to front teeth flaring out or drifting. Orthodontic forces gently return these shifted teeth back to their stable positions, thus help in reversing pathological migration of teeth.
Straightening of teeth will help in reducing trauma from misaligned teeth, which often experience excessive, destructive biting forces.
Orthodontic treatment with Aligners like Invisalign in periodontally compromised patients are value added feature over traditional braces as they are easy to maintain hygiene and more gentle forces.
