Orthodontics and Endodontics:

Orthodontic tooth movement can be carried out successfully with endodontically treated teeth. It is always recommend to use of moderate and intermittent forces enables sufficient tooth movement, limits the damage in the pulp, and allows the damaged pulp healing.Endodontically treated teeth can be moved orthodontically as readily as teeth with vital pulps. If teeth require root canal treatment during orthodontic movement, it is recommended that the root canals be cleaned, shaped and an interim dressing of calcium hydroxide be placed. The tooth should be sealed occlusally to prevent bacterial leakage. Canal obturation is accomplished upon the completion of orthodontic tooth movement.
