Can an adult who has periodontitis undergo orthodontic treatment?
Of course, but beforehand the periodontal problem must be treated by an expert in this field, a PERIODONTIST. Once the disease is inactive, orthodontic treatment can begin, with the precaution of performing regular periodontal maintenance.
Is periodontal exploration important prior to orthodontic treatment?
It would be unthinkable, today in the 21st Century, to begin orthodontic treatment on an adult without a prior periodontal exploration, and if it is performed by a periodontist, much better. In orthodontics we use force to mobilise teeth, and if the support for the teeth is altered or reduced, teeth can be lost.
Is it possible to correct the position of the teeth without it being visible?
Yes, at our clinic we will review with you the different aesthetic treatments, the newest and high-technology treatments.
