Space Maintainers for Children
Preserve the natural space for permanent teeth when baby teeth are lost prematurely.
WhenAreSpaceMaintainersNeeded?
Space maintainers are dental appliances used to hold open the space left by a prematurely lost baby tooth, ensuring that permanent teeth can erupt properly. At Schonsee Dental in Edmonton, we use space maintainers to prevent future orthodontic problems and protect your child's developing smile.
When a child loses a baby tooth too early due to decay, injury, or extraction, the surrounding teeth can shift into the empty space. This can block the permanent tooth from erupting properly and lead to crowding or misalignment.
- Premature loss of baby teeth due to decay
- Early tooth loss from injury or trauma
- Teeth extracted due to infection
- Congenitally missing baby teeth
