Clear aligner treatment among patients with compromised periodontal tissue

The aesthetic advances associated with clear aligner therapy (CAT) encourage the adult population, often affected by periodontal disease (PD), to seek orthodontic treatment. The literature states that it is possible to conduct orthodontic treatment in patients with compromised periodontal tissue through fixed appliances (FA) if the inflammation is controlled. It is now necessary to elucidate the role of CAT in this context. This narrative review aims to discuss the impact of orthodontic treatment with CAT in patients with healthy and compromised periodontal tissue.
