Types of Space Maintainer Placement
Space maintainers can be fixed (cemented in place, such as band-and-loop or crown-and-loop designs) or removable (similar to a small retainer the child can take out), chosen based on the child's age, cooperation, and which tooth was lost. Bilateral space maintainers span across the jaw when teeth are missing on both sides.
