FAQs
What are space maintainers?
Space maintainers are orthodontic devices used to hold space for permanent teeth after a baby tooth is lost prematurely. They prevent the surrounding teeth from shifting into the empty space, ensuring that there is enough room for the incoming permanent tooth.
How do space maintainers work?
Space maintainers work by physically holding the space open where a baby tooth was lost, allowing the permanent tooth to grow in correctly. They can be either fixed (cemented in place) or removable.
How long will my child need to wear a space maintainer?
The duration for wearing a space maintainer varies depending on when the permanent tooth is expected to erupt. It can range from a few months to several years. Dr. Parsons will provide a specific timeline based on your child's dental development.
Are space maintainers uncomfortable?
There may be an adjustment period when your child first starts wearing a space maintainer, but most children adapt quickly. The device is designed to be comfortable, and any initial discomfort usually subsides within a few days.
How do I care for my child’s space maintainer?
Proper care is essential for the effectiveness of the space maintainer. Ensure your child avoids sticky and hard foods that could damage the device. Encourage regular brushing and flossing to keep the space maintainer and surrounding teeth clean. Dr. Parsons will provide specific care instructions based on the type of space maintainer used.
How much does a space maintainer cost?
The cost of a space maintainer varies depending on the complexity of the treatment. During your consultation, we will provide a detailed cost estimate and discuss payment options. We accept most major insurance plans and offer flexible payment plans to make treatment affordable.
