Maintainers

When a child loses a baby tooth early, it’s important to preserve the space for the permanent tooth to erupt properly.
At LittleKrishna, we provide custom space maintainers to prevent misalignment and future dental complications.

 What is a Space Maintainer?

 A small dental device (removable or fixed) that keeps the gap open after a prematurely lost baby tooth
 Ensures the permanent tooth has enough space to come in straight
 Prevents crowding, shifting, or crooked teeth

✅ When is it Needed?

✅ Early loss of a milk tooth
✅ Tooth removed due to decay, trauma, or infection
✅ Child still has time before the permanent tooth erupts
✅ To avoid future orthodontic treatment (braces)

 Benefits of Space Maintainers:

✅ Maintains proper bite alignment
✅ Prevents need for complex treatments later
✅ Easy, painless, and affordable
✅ Supports proper jaw growth and speech
✅ Custom-made for each child’s dental needs
