SPACE MAINTAINERS IN KODAMBAKKAM Dental space maintainers (or spacers) are devices used for kids who have lost some baby teeth but their permanent teeth have a while before they will grow in. They hold space for the appropriate adult teeth to grow in. They also prevent the remaining adjacent baby teeth from moving into the open space.Space maintainers are custom-made of acrylic or metal. They look somewhat like a retainer used after orthodontia. Some have rubber bands or metal springs. They can be fixed or removable. Your dentist or orthodontist will recommend the most appropriate type for your child. #pedo#spacemaintainer#spaceclosure#acrylic#children#extraction#ksmiledentalcare#kodambakkam
