Space Maintainers

Space maintainers are used to prevent the misalignment of teeth caused by missing teeth in children. Normal tooth loss by children does not require space maintenance. However, sometimes unusual or early tooth loss or certain congenital conditions require appliances that hold space and allow new teeth time to move into place.
