This paper presents the clinical orthodontist with a review of the relationship between periodontal health and orthodontic treatment. Stress is placed on the orthodontists responsibility to monitor periodontal health during therapy. Detection of a periodontal problem should prompt referral back to the general practitioner or periodontist.

Discussion is presented on the treatment of the periodontium through each phase of orthodontic therapy. Current oral hygiene procedures are outlined and refined according to special orthodontic needs.
