Abstract
The primary goal of orthodontic treatment is to support a functionally stable occlusion surrounded by sound periodontium. Orthodontic-periodontic interactions are mutually beneficial. Certain periodontal techniques can be supportive to the Orthodontic treatment and vice versa. A harmonious coordination of the periodontist and the orthodontist offers great possibilities for the treatment of various orthodontic-periodontal problems.
