Periodontal Treatment for Orthodontics
A Better Smile From The Ground Up: Considering a Periodontist To Help With Your Orthodontic Journey
If you’re considering orthodontic treatment, your primary focus is likely on achieving a perfect smile with perfectly straight teeth. But have you thought about the foundation that those teeth are built on? For the best possible outcome—one that is both beautiful and healthy for years to come—a collaboration between your orthodontist and a periodontist can be a game-changer.
A periodontist is a dental specialist in the gums, bones, and tissues that support your teeth. Orthodontic work involves applying gentle pressure to your teeth to move them into a more optimal position. If that movement isn’t carefully managed within a healthy foundation, you could risk complications.
