Space Maintainers
When a baby tooth is lost too early, other teeth can shift into the empty space. This can cause crowding and alignment problems when adult teeth come in.
A space maintainer is a small, custom-made device that holds the space open for the permanent tooth to grow in properly.
Why Use a Space Maintainer?
- Prevents future orthodontic problems
- Guides adult teeth into the correct position
- Saves time and money on future dental treatment
Space maintainers can be fixed or removable, depending on your child’s needs.
