Space Maintainers:
Preserving the Path for Healthy Dental Development
Space maintainers are essential appliances for pediatric and adolescent patients who have lost primary teeth prematurely. These devices help preserve the necessary space for permanent teeth to erupt properly, preventing future orthodontic complications. At DTek Dental Lab, we create custom space maintainers tailored to each patient’s unique anatomy and treatment needs.
Key Features:
- Custom Fabrication: Designed for precise fit and comfort based on the patient’s dental impressions.
- Durable Materials: Constructed from high-quality stainless steel or acrylic for longevity and reliability.
- Versatile Designs: Available in fixed or removable options to suit various clinical scenarios.
- Gentle on Oral Tissues: Carefully designed to ensure comfort while maintaining the integrity of surrounding teeth and gums.
- Effective Prevention: Maintains arch integrity and guides proper alignment of erupting teeth.
Benefits of Space Maintainers:
- Prevents adjacent teeth from drifting into the gap created by premature tooth loss.
- Reduces the likelihood of overcrowding or misalignment of permanent teeth.
- Supports proper eruption patterns, minimizing the need for extensive orthodontic treatment later.
- Promotes long-term oral health by preserving dental arch structure.
- Customizable to meet the specific needs of each patient.
Types of Space Maintainers:
- Fixed Space Maintainers: Bonded or cemented in place, ideal for long-term use. Examples include band-and-loop and distal shoe maintainers.
- Removable Space Maintainers: Designed for temporary use and can be removed for cleaning or special occasions.
