Custom appliances that hold space when a baby tooth is lost early, guiding adult teeth into place.

Space Maintainers

Part of Children's Care

4 treatments offered

Overview

When a baby tooth comes out earlier than nature intended — usually from decay or trauma — neighbouring teeth can drift into the gap, causing alignment problems for the adult tooth coming in. A space maintainer holds the gap open until the adult tooth is ready.

What's included

Imaging to confirm the adult tooth's position
Custom-fitted spacer (fixed or removable)
Periodic check-ins as the adult tooth erupts
Removal once the spacer's job is done
