Adult Orthodontics: Complex Orthodontic – Prosthetic and Orthodontic – Periodontal Treatment

The involvement of more than one type of specialist in the treatment of adult patients is often necessary to ensure optimal aesthetics and the longest possible preservation of physiological function. The orthodontist’s role primarily relates to preparing the patient for future implant placement and/or prosthetic rehabilitation by creating adequate space and eliminating etiological factors for periodontal deterioration by aligning the teeth, correcting the dental arch, and normalizing occlusal relationships where needed.
