[Orthodontic case report of anterior cross-bite with periodontitis].
In adult orthodontic patients, there is an increasing concern about good looks, esthetic orthodontic appliances, and improved surgical orthodontic treatment. The present report presents a case of a 33-year-old female with cross-bite in 1/12 and marginal periodontitis. Orthodontic tooth movement was performed following a flap operation to eliminate a gingival pocket. The treatment was successful resulting in good occlusion and healthy periodontal tissue.
