Losing a baby tooth prematurely seems to be no big deal, but eventually, even that tiny gap becomes a problem. The fact is that it starts changing the development of permanent teeth. In Smile Collective, we always try to keep your child’s smile in good condition, and this means dealing with potential problems early. Space maintainers are simple appliances created to hold that gap in place and ensure healthy development of permanent teeth. Thus, there will be no problems with crowding or misalignment.
Of course, all children have different developmental needs, and some of them might require space maintainer, while others don’t. That’s why each recommendation is always customized depending on the individual development and preferences.
