If a child loses a baby tooth early through decay or injury, the other teeth can shift and close the space. That can stop the permanent tooth coming through properly, or cause problems with chewing and speech.
A space maintainer holds the spot the missing tooth left — usually a band or a temporary crown attached to one of the neighbouring teeth. Later, as the permanent tooth grows into the space, it is removed.
