Space maintainers are an essential orthodontic device designed to prevent long-term dental complications in children. These small, custom-fitted appliances are used to hold the space left by a prematurely lost baby tooth, ensuring that permanent teeth grow in their correct positions.
By guiding proper dental alignment, space maintainers help avoid crowding and bite issues that could require more extensive treatment later. At Stable Orthodontics in Alpharetta, GA, Dr. Korry Tauber provides board-certified care for patients needing space maintainers, combining advanced technology with a comfortable, patient-focused approach.

Space maintainers ensure that permanent teeth have enough room to grow in correctly. By maintaining proper spacing, they prevent potential crowding, which can make brushing and flossing easier and reduce the risk of cavities and gum issues.
Early intervention with space maintainers can help reduce or even eliminate the need for more intensive orthodontic treatments in the future. This proactive approach saves time, effort, and expenses later on.
By holding the space of a lost baby tooth, space maintainers help maintain the natural structure of your child’s mouth, supporting optimal jaw development and a stronger, healthier bite for years to come.
During your first visit to Stable Orthodontics, Dr. Korry Tauber will perform a comprehensive examination, including 3D imaging to assess your child’s dental development. We’ll discuss your child’s specific needs, answer all your questions, and determine if a space maintainer is the right solution. This is a comfortable, no-pressure appointment designed to put you and your child at ease.
Once space maintainers are confirmed as the best course of action, we’ll take precise digital impressions of your child’s teeth to create a perfectly fitted appliance. These custom devices are designed to be both effective and comfortable. Once ready, Dr. Tauber will carefully place the space maintainer, making sure it sits securely and your child feels confident wearing it.
After the space maintainer is placed, our team will schedule routine checkups to monitor its condition and ensure it’s functioning as intended. If needed, we also offer convenient virtual appointments for progress updates, saving you time without compromising care. Once the permanent tooth grows in correctly, the maintainer will be removed, leaving your child with a perfect foundation for a lifetime of healthy smiles.
