Periodontally Assisted Osteogenic Orthodontics (PAOO) is an advanced treatment approach that combines periodontal surgery with orthodontic therapy to facilitate safer and more efficient tooth movement. This technique can improve bone support around teeth, reduce treatment time, and enhance long-term orthodontic stability.
At Mayflower Periodontics & Implant Center, PAOO is selectively recommended for patients who require orthodontic correction but may have thin bone, gum concerns, or complex tooth movement needs. Treatment is carefully customized and performed in close collaboration with your orthodontist to ensure healthy gums, strong bone support, and predictable orthodontic outcomes.
Benefits of PAOO
- Speeds up orthodontic treatment significantly
- Reduces the risk of bone loss or gum recession during movement
- Allows for complex tooth movements that may not be possible otherwise
PAOO is typically performed by a periodontist in coordination with your orthodontist, with recovery involving mild swelling and discomfort for a few days.
