Dental Space Maintainers
A custom-fit appliance that holds space for a permanent tooth when a baby tooth is lost too early.
Overview
If a baby tooth is lost prematurely due to decay or injury, the surrounding teeth can drift into the empty space. A space maintainer is a small metal appliance that holds this space open, ensuring the permanent tooth has room to erupt correctly and preventing future orthodontic problems.
Who Is This For?
Children who have lost a baby tooth, particularly a molar, before the permanent tooth is ready to erupt.
Benefits
- Guides the permanent tooth into its proper position
- Can reduce or even eliminate the need for future braces
- Simple, custom-fit, and effective
