The pathological teeth migrations require correct multidisciplinary treatment which consists of periodontal surgery associated with early or late orthodontic treatment. The aim of this study was to know which of the two orthodontic treatments would have a better periodontal response. Two parameters, radiological (the height of the alveolar bone) and clinical (the depth of the periodontal pocket), were used to meet the objective of this work. Eighteen patients received early orthodontic treatment (straight wire appliance) after periodontal flap debridement surgery and eighteen others late orthodontic treatment (straight wire appliance). The results showed the absence of significant difference between the two early and late orthodontic treatments after periodontal flap debridement surgery. Orthodontic treatment can be started early seven to ten days after periodontal surgery.
