Space Maintainers

• When a baby tooth is lost too early, the nearby teeth can shift into the empty space, blocking the path for the adult tooth underneath.

• A space maintainer is a small, custom-made appliance that holds the space open until the permanent tooth is ready to come in.

• This simple device helps reduce the chances of crowding, misalignment, and the need for future orthodontic treatment.

• Space maintainers are comfortable, easy to clean, and children get used to them quickly.
