A space maintainer is a preventive orthodontic device commonly used in Balikesir, Türkiye, for children who lose baby teeth earlier than expected. When a primary tooth is lost prematurely due to decay or extraction, the adjacent teeth may shift into the empty space, causing crowding or misalignment. At DentMax Balikesir, custom-made space maintainers are applied by pediatric and orthodontic specialists to ensure proper eruption of permanent teeth. On this page, you will find information about the importance of space maintainers, the treatment process, pricing, and aftercare instructions.
