There is need of moving teeth for individuals for various reasons, which were endodontically treated or undergoing endodontic treatment procedures. Orthodontic movement of endodontically treated teeth was dealt with confusions for decades by the clinicians. This type of tooth movement over an endodontically treated teeth cause inexorable biological reactions in the periodontal ligament and pulp tissue. On applying a severe orthodontic force for a long period of time can cause necrosis of pulp and irreversible pulpitis by increasing pulp inflammation reactions. Use of moderate and intermittent forces enables sufficient tooth movement, limits the damage in the pulp and allows the healing of damaged pulp. The aim of this review is to ascertain the issues to be considered for orthodontic treatment and its effect on endodontically treated tooth with alterations which may occur in the pulp, hard tissues and periapical region of the teeth before, during and after orthodontic treatment and how these changes affect the treatment outcome.
