Baby teeth are important for the development of teeth, jaw bones, muscles and help to guide permanent teeth into position. The adjacent teeth can shift into the open space created due to pre-mature loss of baby tooth and close/decrease the space. As a result, the permanent tooth does not find adequate space for eruption and may erupt more towards the cheek side or the tongue side leading to malalignment of teeth. A space maintainer is an appliance that is custom-made according to each patient in case a baby tooth has been lost pre-maturely.It can be either removable or cemented in the child's mouth. Its purpose is to maintain the space for the permanent tooth to erupt and come into its normal place. Not every child who loses a baby tooth early requires a space maintainer; however, a professional consultation with your dentist should be conducted to determine if using a space maintainer is needed.
