What is a space maintainer?
A space maintainer is a small, custom appliance that holds open the gap left when a child loses a baby tooth too early — so the adult tooth underneath has room to come through in the right place. Without it, the neighbouring teeth can drift into the space and cause crowding that may need braces later. At SmilePath Dental in Mansarovar, Jaipur, we fit comfortable, child-friendly space maintainers and check them as your child grows. Your child's first checkup is free.
What to expect
We assess the early gap and take a small X-ray to see the developing adult tooth underneath. We then take an impression or scan and fit a small, comfortable maintainer — often a simple band-and-loop that sits quietly in the gap.
We show you and your child how to keep it clean, and schedule periodic reviews. As the adult tooth gets ready to come through, we remove the maintainer at just the right time. The whole thing is gentle and quickly becomes something your child forgets is there.
Who it's for
A space maintainer is for a child in Jaipur who's lost a baby tooth earlier than normal — through decay, injury, or an extraction — before the adult tooth is ready to erupt. Fitting one keeps the space open so the adult tooth comes in straight and your child may avoid braces later.
