The purpose of space maintainers is to hold the space of a baby/milk tooth that has been prematurely lost so that that space is kept in preparation for the future adult tooth that will replace it in the future. Additionally, modified forms of space maintainers or retainers may be custom designed for your child to help modify the growth of your child’s jaws in common cases of crowding, overbite, or underbite. These are very conservative economical options available at The Dental & Oral Center used to prepare a child’s overall dentition so that he or she can enjoy a simple uncomplicated treatment when referred to the specialist orthodontist when older. We are happy to answer all your space maintainer related questions in depth at your child’s appointment.
