What are Dental Space Maintainers?
Dental space maintainers are tools used to keep enough space free for permanent teeth to develop after baby teeth are lost at an early stage.They provide space for the proper adult teeth to develop. Additionally, they stop the adjacent baby teeth from growing into the gap.
Enfield Royal Saudia offers dental space maintainers and other cosmetic surgeries in KSA.

Work?
Space maintainers keep the space left by a lost baby tooth open so that the permanent tooth may develop and erupt normally.
A child’s teeth might shift into an open area after losing their baby teeth, which can cause issues that may require Dental treatment in the future.
Types
Types
There are various types of dental space maintainers in Riyadh.
- REMOVABLE
Removable space maintainers are often constructed of acrylic and resemble orthodontic equipment. In some situations, a gap that needs to be left open for the missing tooth may be filled with an artificial tooth. - FIXED
Fixed space maintainers come in four distinct varieties: unilateral, crown and loop, distal shoe, and lingual. - UNILATERAL
To keep the room open for one tooth, unilateral and crown and loop space maintainers are positioned on one side of the mouth. - CROWN & LOOP
To make sure there is space for the growing tooth, the crown and loop is a real dental crown that covers the tooth and is attached to the loop. - DISTAL SHOE
The first permanent molar tooth that has not emerged is typically treated with the distal shoe space maintainer. Because the metal end is typically placed into the gum line to prevent the open area from closing, it is a more difficult space maintainer. - LINGUAL
A wire on the inside of the lower front teeth connects the lingual space maintainer, which may be bonded to molar teeth. This is usually employed when there are several missing teeth.
