Why Space Maintainer Placement Is Needed
Placed when a child loses a baby (primary) tooth prematurely due to decay, trauma, or extraction, before the permanent tooth underneath is ready to erupt. Without a maintainer, neighboring teeth can drift into the empty space, causing crowding or misalignment of the permanent tooth when it eventually comes in.
