Significant development has taken in recent time in adult orthodontics. Orthodontic treatment is carried out through periodontium. So, healthy periodontium is considered to be a pre-requiste for orthodontic tooth movement. While past studies have shown that orthodontic treatment can positively affect the periodontal health, recent reviews indicate an absence of reliable evidence for the positive effects of orthodontic therapy on patients’ periodontal status. Periodontic-orthodontic interrelationships are still controversial issues. However, a standard language between the periodontist and the orthodontist must always be established to eliminate the existing communications barrier, and to improve the outcomes of the whole treatment. Key Words: Orthodontics, Peiodontitis, Oral Health, Periodontics.
