The relationship between orthodontics and periodontics is complex and multifaceted, with both disciplines influencing each other in various ways. While orthodontic treatment can improve function and aesthetics, it also presents potential risks to periodontal health, particularly in patients with thin biotypes or predisposing factors for gingival recession. Conversely, periodontal conditions can impact orthodontic treatment planning, biomechanics, and long-term stability. This presentation will explore the indications and limitations of orthodontic treatment in managing gingival recessions, the strategic planning of mechanotherapy, and the expected duration and prognosis of corrective interventions. Key factors influencing treatment outcomes in various clinical scenarios will be discussed.
