What Are Space Maintainers?
Space maintainers, often called spacers, are crucial orthodontic devices designed to prevent teeth from moving out of place during a child's development. These devices are particularly useful for children who have experienced early tooth loss and require assistance maintaining the space for an emerging permanent tooth. At Advantage Dentists and Orthodontics in Atascocita, TX, space maintainers play a crucial role in ensuring that your child's dental alignment remains intact as their jaw continues to grow. Typically crafted from materials such as metal or plastic, spacers, while removable, are securely attached using a dental adhesive. Dr. Sula E. Umansky and her dedicated team take pride in offering space maintainers to support the proper growth of your child's teeth and help prevent future dental and jaw complications. If your child has any missing baby teeth, we invite you to reach out to our office to discover more about spacers and their significant benefits to your child's dental health.
How Do Space Maintainers Work?
Upon visiting our Atascocita, TX office for space maintainers, our initial step involves conducting digital x-rays and 3D imaging of your child's oral cavity and jawline. These precise images enable us to tailor a space maintainer specifically designed to suit your child's dental requirements. After crafting the custom space maintainer, it will be carefully fitted into your child's mouth with thorough checks to verify its comfort and ensure it does not interfere with your child's speech or eating capabilities.
