Space maintainers are dental devices used when a baby tooth is lost prematurely due to decay or injury. These appliances help preserve the empty space so that permanent teeth can erupt in the correct position. Without a space maintainer, neighboring teeth may shift into the gap and cause alignment problems in the future.
