Space Maintainers & Expanders
Little mouths grow fast—and sometimes they need a little help along the way. Space maintainers and expanders are custom dental tools that gently guide your child’s developing smile, making sure there’s room for every tooth to come in just right. Whether your child has lost a baby tooth early or needs help creating space for permanent teeth, our team is here to support their growth with care, comfort, and kid-friendly solutions.
What to Expect
When your child needs a space maintainer or expander, we’ll guide you every step of the way. Here’s what the process typically looks like:
Initial Evaluation: We’ll examine your child’s teeth and take X-rays to see how their smile is developing.
Custom Fitting: Each appliance is designed just for your child’s mouth to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
Quick & Gentle Placement: Placement is simple and non-invasive—most kids adjust quickly!
Home Care Tips: We’ll share easy-to-follow instructions to keep the appliance clean and your child comfortable.
Follow-Up Visits: Regular check-ins help us track progress and make any needed adjustments as your child grows.
No Goop, Just Precision
We use the Itero Scanner to take a quick, comfortable 3D digital scan of your child’s teeth—no more sticky, uncomfortable impression material.
This advanced technology helps us create custom-fit appliances like space maintainers and expanders with better accuracy and less mess. It’s a smoother experience from start to finish—for both kids and parents.
