Dr. Eberle Discusses the Pros & Cons of Interceptive Orthodontics

(prHWY.com) July 25, 2012 - Denver, CO -- Denver, Colorado (June 22, 2012) - The issue of whether interceptive orthodontic treatment could be the best option to correct most orthodontic problems has been a topic of discussion for some time already. In her website, Denver orthodontist Dr. Nicole E. Eberle discusses the pros and cons of interceptive orthodontics to help parents decide if it is the wisest choice for their child.

Early interceptive orthodontics includes any type of orthodontic treatment that a child receives before all of his or her permanent teeth are present. The goal of this type of orthodontics in Denver is to make space for all permanent teeth and to alter tooth growth patterns in order to facilitate the proper development of both upper and lower jaws.

Interceptive orthodontic treatment can also be helpful in preventing the severe protrusion of front teeth, thus avoiding the need for major treatments in the future.

Some parents are apprehensive about letting their child go through interceptive orthodontic treatment because the child could still end up needing comprehensive treatment down the road. Dr. Eberle's stand on this issue is that, while early treatment may not be the answer to all orthodontic problems, it could still be the best solution for many.

In the case of a crossbite, for instance, an orthodontist in Denver may recommend treatment while all the baby teeth are still in. This allows a greater degree of flexibility when adjusting the teeth.

It is vital that parents consult with an orthodontist who is aware of all the pros and cons of this kind of treatment.
