Some patients who present for restorative treatment could benefit from adjunctive orthodontic treatment. Among the benefits of such treatment are the use of more ideal and conservative restorative dentistry and the elimination of plaque-harboring areas for improved periodontal health. The illustrative case reports highlight the most common examples of adjunctive orthodontic treatment, which include molar uprighting, space redistribution and alignment of anterior teeth.
