Omaha Periodontic-Orthodontic Treatment

Healthy gums make a better smile possible

Supportive care for confident, long-term orthodontic results

Orthodontic treatment can create beautiful, straight smiles. But for patients with gum disease, bone loss, or thin gum tissue, moving teeth without the right periodontal support can cause more harm than good.

At Periodontics and Implant Solutions, we collaborate closely with your orthodontist to deliver periodontic-orthodontic treatment that protects your gum and bone health during orthodontic care. Whether you need treatment before, during, or after braces or aligners, our team ensures your smile stays strong, healthy, and stable for the long haul.

 

Integrated benefits for long-term success

  • Stronger gums, better orthodontic outcomes
  • Greater stability for shifting or realigned teeth
  • Supports bone growth in key areas
  • Ideal for adult patients with gum disease
  • Enhances long-term smile aesthetics and function
  • Promotes overall oral health

Healthier Foundation

Treating active gum disease and stabilizing bone levels before orthodontic treatment reduces the risk of gum recession and bone loss during alignment.

Coordinated Care

We work hand-in-hand with your orthodontist to develop a plan that supports both gum health and orthodontic goals.

Pre-Orthodontic Care

This may include deep cleaning (scaling and root planing), gum grafting, or bone regeneration to prepare your mouth for safe tooth movement.

Post-Orthodontic Evaluation

After treatment, we assess the stability of your gums and may recommend contouring or tissue support to enhance your final results.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I need periodontal treatment before braces?

If you have gum disease or bone loss, moving your teeth with braces or aligners could worsen the condition. Treating these issues first helps protect your gums and ensures safer, more predictable orthodontic results.

Can I still get braces if I’ve had gum disease?

Yes. Many patients with a history of gum disease can safely undergo orthodontic treatment with proper periodontal support. Our team will work with your orthodontist to create a plan that prioritizes your gum health throughout treatment.

What is gum grafting, and why might I need it?

Gum grafting adds tissue to areas with gum recession, helping protect exposed roots and prevent further loss. It’s often recommended before or after orthodontic treatment to maintain a strong, healthy smile.

Will I need to pause my orthodontic treatment for periodontal care?

In some cases, we may recommend a short pause in your orthodontic treatment to address gum concerns. This ensures that your long-term results are not compromised by active inflammation or instability.

Do you work directly with my orthodontist?

Absolutely. We collaborate closely with your orthodontist to ensure seamless, coordinated care. Our goal is to support your full smile journey, from gum health to beautifully aligned teeth.
