An abnormal, extremely invasive condition characterized by severe localized pocketing and bone loss in the dental alveoli of children and adolescents, generally associated with poor oral hygiene and inadequate nutrition.Aggressive periodontitis is a group of infrequent types of periodontal diseases with rapid attachment loss and bone destruction, which are initiated at a young age. Aggressive periodontitis has received considerable attention due to its peculiar clinical presentation, occurring around puberty, with an apparent lack of local factors such as heavy amounts of plaque and calculus, in patients with reasonably good oral hygiene. Here, we present a case of a 21 years old female patient who complained of malaligned teeth and wanted the correction of these malaligned teeth.
