Space Maintenance

Space maintainers are orthodontic appliances designed to keep space open in a child's mouth after a primary (baby) tooth is lost prematurely due to decay or injury. By holding the space where the lost tooth was, these devices prevent neighboring teeth from shifting into the gap, ensuring that there is enough room for the permanent tooth to come in correctly.

What are Space Maintainers?

Space maintainers are custom-made orthodontic devices that can be either fixed or removable. They are tailored to fit a child's specific needs and are used to maintain the proper spacing and alignment of teeth after a premature tooth loss.
