    Introduction: The periodontal phenotype encompasses both soft and hard tissues, and its planning is crucial for orthodontic treatment. Thin phenotypes are associated with an increased risk of risk of periodontal complications, such as gingival recessions, bone loss, and dehiscences, especially during orthodontic tooth movement. This article reviews the efficacy of periodontal phenotype modification therapy (PhMT) prior to orthodontic treatment through surgical techniques that include soft and bone tissue grafts, as well as combined procedures. These interventions increase the thickness and stability of periodontal tissues, optimizing clinical and aesthetic outcomes while minimizing long-term complications. Objective: The purpose of this review is to determine the efficacy of periodontal phenotype modification before orthodontic treatment. Methods: A bibliographic search was conducted, including articles from the last five years in databases such as PubMed, Wiley, Google Scholar, and ScienceDirect. Information analysis and Integration: Evidence demonstrates that periodontal phenotype modification using surgical techniques to increase the width of the keratinized gingiva, gingival thickness, and bone volume ensures stability in periodontal tissues. Conclusion: Periodontal phenotype modification improves the stability of periodontal tissues before orthodontic treatment, and a multidisciplinary approach is essential to guarantee therapeutic success and prevent complications, particularly in patients with thin phenotypes.
