Equally useful is something known as a lingual space maintainer. This version of the device is used when there are multiple teeth that are missing usually in the front of the mouth. Finally, something known as a crown and loop is a type of space maintainer that is affixed to a crown and helps to maintain enough space so that new teeth may erupt normally. The simple answer to the question of when this type of device is needed is answered by looking at the different types of maintainers that are available. Depending on your child’s individual situation, your dentist may recommend one of the above options.
