What is a Space Maintainer?

Baby teeth act as guides for permanent teeth. When a baby tooth is lost prematurely, adjacent teeth can drift into the empty space, blocking the permanent tooth from coming in.

A space maintainer is a small metal or acrylic appliance custom-made to hold that space open until the adult tooth is ready to erupt.

How Space Maintainers Work — Step by Step

01

Assessment

X-rays to check the development of the permanent tooth.

02

Impressions

Taking a mold of the child’s mouth to create the appliance.

03

Placement

Cementing the maintainer in place.

04

Removal

Removed once the permanent tooth begins to erupt.
