We offer a variety of space maintainers to suit your child’s needs. 

  • Band and Loop Maintainer

    • Held in place by a crown or band on the tooth next to the empty space 
    • Wire is attached to the crown or loop and rests on the side of the tooth

    • Used on lower teeth when the back teeth on both sides of the jaw are lost
    • Wire placed on the tongue side of the arch 
    • Attached to the tooth in front of the open space

Your child’s comfort is our priority. Our team will ensure that the space maintainer fits comfortably for your child to ensure it works properly and does not cause any discomfort. 

It is important for your child to avoid sticky foods to ensure the space maintainer is not damaged. Also, please encourage your child to not push or pull on the device with their tongue or fingers. Proper brushing and flossing is also essential to ensure no build up develops on the device.
