What are Space Maintainers?
We understand the importance of maintaining proper dental alignment during childhood, as it sets the foundation for a healthy smile in the future. One of the services we offer to address dental spacing issues is space maintainers. Let's explore what space maintainers are and how we can assist you and your child in preserving their dental alignment.
Space maintainers are dental appliances designed to preserve the gaps left by prematurely lost primary (baby) teeth. When a primary tooth is lost before its natural time, neighboring teeth can shift and occupy the vacant space, leading to crowding and misalignment of permanent teeth. Space maintainers are custom-made devices that hold the space open until the permanent tooth is ready to erupt. They help guide the incoming permanent teeth into their proper positions, preventing future orthodontic complications.
How we can help
At Little Roots Pediatric Dental in Westbury, NY, we specialize in pediatric dentistry and offer comprehensive care to address dental spacing issues. Here are the ways in which we can assist you and your child with space maintainers:

We ensure a comfortable and child-friendly environment, making the experience pleasant for your child during the placement and management of space maintainers.
Preserving Dental Alignment: Space maintainers play a vital role in preserving proper dental alignment. By holding the space open, they prevent adjacent teeth from shifting and overcrowding, allowing permanent teeth to erupt in their correct positions. This reduces the likelihood of future orthodontic problems and the need for extensive corrective treatment.
Preventing Dental Complications: Premature tooth loss can lead to a range of dental complications, including malocclusion, crowding, and bite issues. By using space maintainers, we can help prevent these complications and ensure that your child's dental development progresses smoothly.
Orthodontic Monitoring: Our team will closely monitor your child's dental growth and development while they have space maintainers. Regular check-ups and adjustments, if necessary, will be scheduled to ensure the optimal effectiveness of the space maintainers and the overall success of their orthodontic treatment.
