When a child loses a baby tooth early due to decay or injury, it can disrupt the natural growth of their permanent teeth. Space maintainers are a simple yet effective solution provided by Harmony Dental Studio to address this issue.
The Role of Space Maintainers
Space maintainers are custom-made dental appliances that serve an important purpose in a child’s oral development. They’re designed to hold the space left by a lost baby tooth until the permanent tooth is ready to erupt. This prevents neighboring teeth from shifting into the empty space, which could lead to crowding or misalignment.
