Space Maintainers: Protecting Your Child’s Smile, Step by Step

Discover how space maintainers safeguard your child’s dental development:

• Initial Assessment :
  A dentist evaluates the gap’s size, location, and the child’s growth stage to determine the need for a maintainer.
• Custom Design :
  Fixed (bonded or banded) or removable appliances are crafted to fit comfortably, using materials like acrylic or metal.
• Painless Placement :
  The device is secured to adjacent teeth, acting as a placeholder to block shifting.
• Regular Monitoring :
  Adjustments ensure the maintainer stays effective as the child grows and permanent teeth develop.
• Timely Removal :
  Once the adult tooth erupts, the maintainer is removed to allow natural alignment.

Benefits :

• Prevents crowding, crooked teeth, and bite issues.
• Supports proper chewing, speech, and jaw development.
• A cost-effective alternative to future orthodontic care.

This service combines pediatric expertise with proactive care to nurture confident, healthy smiles.
