Frequently Asked Questions
A space maintainer holds space open in your child’s mouth when a baby tooth is lost early, helping permanent teeth grow in correctly.
Not at all. It’s custom-made for your child’s mouth and most kids forget it’s even there after a few days.
Typically until the adult tooth starts to come in. We’ll monitor progress at regular checkups.
Most dental plans cover space maintainers under pediatric or orthodontic services. We’ll help check your benefits and handle direct billing.
Delaying can lead to teeth shifting, crowding, or the need for more complex orthodontics later. Early intervention is key.
