Space maintainers are orthodontic devices used to hold the space for permanent teeth when a child loses a baby tooth prematurely. These devices are crucial in preventing the neighboring teeth from shifting into the open space, which could lead to crowding or misaligned teeth as permanent teeth emerge.
