What is Space Maintainers<\/strong> ?<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n

As your child's smile evolves, the loss of primary teeth creates gaps in their dental arch. Space maintainers are custom-made dental appliances designed to fill these gaps and prevent adjacent teeth from shifting into the empty space. They are particularly essential when a primary tooth is lost prematurely due to factors such as decay or injury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
