Periodontally compromised adult patients present with multiple problems of malocclusion, esthetics, function and psychological stress. Orthodontic treatment of such patients is not contra indicated but needs special considerations, certain precautions, and determination of specific, realistic and achievable treatment objectives. Need of the hour is to have an integrated approach where the periodontal treatment precedes Orthodontic treatment to restore periodontal health. Orthodontic treatment should be performed under strict plaque control and with measures to place the teeth in a structurally balanced and functionally efficient position. Aim of this case series is to demonstrate orthodontic treatment of adult patients with periodontally compromised status. In this case series more emphasis is given on correction of Gingival recession on single tooth by means of torquing alone without any free gingival grafts.
