Abstract: With the continuous development of the economy and the improvement of people's living standards, the aesthetic requirements for maxillofacial are also gradually increasing. More and more patients with malocclusion are seeking orthodontic therapy. Orthodontic therapy can improve the aesthetic appearance of the patient's maxillofacial region and enhance patient self-confidence. At the same time, by aligning the dentition, self-plaque control is easier. However, the impact of orthodontic therapy on periodontal soft and hard tissue cannot be ignored. This article briefly reviews the relationship between orthodontic therapy and periodontitis and its impact on periodontal soft and hard tissues.
