    Author: Levitt HL.
    Journal: J Can Dent Assoc; 1991 Oct; 57(10):787-9. PubMed ID: 1742662.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this article is to outline a method of orthodontic treatment for adult patients, particularly those with periodontal disease. The rationale for recommending orthodontics to these patients is discussed, with an emphasis on periodontal and occlusal management during treatment. Methods of using orthodontics to improve the periodontal status of adult patients are also demonstrated. Finally, there is a brief discussion on retention, and age considerations, as well as the obligations of both dentists and patients.
