Space Maintainer for Kids

Before Treatment

• The dentist examines the child’s mouth and takes impressions if necessary.
• A customized space maintainer is created to fit comfortably.

During Treatment

• The device is securely placed in the mouth using dental cement (for fixed types) or designed for easy removal (for removable types).
• The dentist ensures the fit is comfortable and does not interfere with speech or chewing.

After Treatment

• Regular dental check-ups monitor the space maintainer’s effectiveness.
• Once the permanent tooth starts to grow, the device is removed.

Aftercare & Recovery

• Maintain proper oral hygiene by brushing and flossing daily.
• Avoid sticky or hard foods that may dislodge the device.
• Attend regular dental check-ups to ensure the space maintainer remains in place.
• Encourage proper chewing habits to prevent damage.
