Abstract
Reduced periodontal tissue often gives rise to migration of upper and/or lower incisors accompanied by interincisal diastemas. These unsightly interdental spaces are often the reason for adults seeking orthodontic treatment. Patients will benefit most from treatment combining periodontics and orthodontics. This study will use several clinical examples to illustrate the different stages of a course of treatment combining these two specialities. It will also highlight the need for permanent post-treatment retention once the spaces have been closed.
