title: Orthodontic and periodontal considerations in treatment of adult patients.
abstract: The coordination of orthodontics with periodontics in treating adult patients with high esthetic expectations is essential. In this article, three broad categories of relationships between the two specialties are described. In addition, several simple clinical situations illustrate how the interactions can help to improve the outcome of dental treatments.
