What is a space maintainer?
The lower lingual space maintainer is a wire that runs behind your bottom teeth and connects to a band on the molars.

How does a space maintainer work?
The purpose of a space maintainer is to save or “maintain” space in the lower jaw for permanent teeth as they erupt. The “baby” second molars are larger than the adult bicuspid teeth that replace them. By holding this space with the space maintainer, we prevent the permanent molars from drifting forward and using up this valuable space. The idea is to use this preserved space to resolve crowding later on.

What can I expect with a space maintainer?
The lower lingual space maintainer is fixed in your mouth and can only be removed by your doctor. It stays in place until all of your permanent teeth in the lower jaw erupt.
