A space maintainer is a small dental device used to hold space open in a child’s mouth when a baby tooth is lost too early.
Baby teeth act like place holders for permanent teeth. If a baby tooth falls out too soon (due to decay or injury), nearby teeth can shift into the empty space. This can lead to crowding or crooked permanent teeth later on.
Keeps the space open for the adult tooth to grow properly. Prevents future problems like misalignment or the need for braces. Is custom-made and fits comfortably in your child’s mouth.
Fixed: Cemented to a nearby tooth and not removed by the child. Removable: Similar to a retainer, used in specific cases.
Maintain good oral hygiene. Avoid sticky or hard foods. Visit the dentist regularly to check the fit. Do not try to adjust it at home.
A space maintainer protects your child’s smile by guiding the proper growth of permanent teeth after early tooth loss.
