Space Maintainers
Custom-fitted appliances that hold space for permanent teeth and prevent alignment problems after early baby tooth loss.
When a child loses a baby tooth prematurely due to decay, injury, or other causes, the surrounding teeth can shift into the empty space. This shifting can block the permanent tooth from erupting properly, leading to crowding and alignment issues.
Space maintainers are custom-fitted dental appliances designed to hold the space open until the permanent tooth is ready to emerge. They are a simple, proactive solution that prevents more complex orthodontic problems later.
At Dental Corner, we create space maintainers tailored to each child's mouth for a comfortable, secure fit. The appliance is easy to care for and does not interfere with your child's daily activities.
Regular monitoring of your child's dental development ensures the space maintainer is working effectively and can be removed at the right time when the permanent tooth begins to come in.
