title: Guided bone regeneration to repair an osseous defect.
abstract: The ultimate goal of orthodontic therapy is to establish functional and esthetic dental relationships in a balanced facial pattern. In patients with compromised periodontal support, the use of multidisciplinary treatment plans is essential in attaining these goals. This case report includes a thorough documentation of the orthodontic and periodontal treatments to demonstrate the effectiveness of guided bone regenerative procedures combined with a bone allograft to aid in correcting a dental malocclusion.
