What is a Space Maintainer?
Space maintainer is a dental appliance used to preserve the space left by a prematurely lost baby tooth. It helps ensure that permanent teeth erupt in their correct positions, preventing crowding and alignment issues in the future.
Why choose our dental process
The dentist evaluates the child's dental condition and takes impressions or digital scans of the mouth. A custom-made space maintainer is then fabricated and fitted to keep the surrounding teeth from shifting into the empty space until the permanent tooth emerges.
Dental Assessment
The dentist examines the child's teeth and takes X-rays to determine the need for a space maintainer.
Custom Appliance Fabrication
Measurements or impressions are taken to create a space maintainer that fits comfortably and securely.
Placement & Monitoring
The appliance is placed in the mouth, and regular check-ups are scheduled to monitor tooth development and eruption.
