Space maintainers are custom-made dental devices designed to keep the space open when a baby tooth is lost prematurely. They prevent adjacent teeth from drifting into the empty space, allowing the permanent tooth to erupt properly. Your child might need a space maintainer if they've lost a baby tooth due to decay, injury, or other dental issues before the permanent tooth is ready to emerge. At London Dental Specialists, we recommend space maintainers to prevent future alignment problems and potentially reduce the need for extensive orthodontic treatment later.
At London Dental Specialists, we offer two main types of space maintainers:
Our specialists will recommend the most appropriate type based on your child's specific dental needs and age.
The duration for wearing a space maintainer varies depending on each child's individual development. Typically, a space maintainer remains in place until the permanent tooth begins to erupt into the space, which could be several months to years. During regular check-ups at London Dental Specialists, our dentists will monitor your child's dental development and determine when the space maintainer can be safely removed.
Space maintainers are not typically painful. There may be a brief adjustment period of a few days during which your child becomes accustomed to having the appliance in their mouth. Some children might experience mild discomfort or irritation initially, but this usually subsides quickly. Our team at London Dental Specialists ensures each space maintainer is custom-fitted to your child's mouth for maximum comfort and effectiveness.
Proper care of a space maintainer is essential for its effectiveness and your child's oral health:
Our dental team will provide detailed care instructions specific to your child's type of space maintainer.
Space maintainers may not be necessary in certain situations, including:
At London Dental Specialists, we carefully evaluate each case to determine whether a space maintainer would benefit your child's dental development.
Without a space maintainer after premature tooth loss, adjacent teeth may drift into the empty space. This can lead to several complications, including:
Early intervention with space maintainers at London Dental Specialists can help prevent these issues and support proper dental development.
The cost of space maintainers at London Dental Specialists varies depending on the type required and your child's specific dental needs. We provide detailed treatment plans with transparent pricing during your consultation. Many dental insurance plans cover space maintainers as they are considered preventive treatment. Our administrative team can help verify your insurance coverage and discuss payment options to make this important treatment accessible for your child.
If your child's space maintainer becomes loose, breaks, or causes discomfort, contact London Dental Specialists immediately to schedule an appointment. Do not attempt to adjust or repair the appliance yourself, as this could damage it further or potentially harm your child's mouth. Keep any broken pieces and bring them to your appointment. In the meantime, ensure your child avoids touching the loose appliance with their tongue or fingers to prevent accidental swallowing or further displacement.
