Treatments

Fixed and mobile space maintainers are used in accordance with physician recommendations. The Fixed Space Maintainer is bonded to the tooth with a special filling material and must remain fixed on the tooth for the time prescribed by your dentist.

If your space maintainer moves or falls, the dentist should be contacted. Sticky or extremely hard foods such as Turkish delight, roasted chickpeas and undercooked meat should not be chewed on the side where the fixed placeholder is located.

Otherwise, your placeholder will fall out and you may swallow it without realizing it. (If you encounter such a situation, do not worry and call your doctor.) Teeth and space maintainers should be brushed carefully. The placeholder must be checked every 6 months at the latest. The removable placeholder needs to be checked one week after it is installed. If the space maintainer hits or hurts, contact your dentist. Never chew or eat food with your movable placeholder unless recommended by your physician. Otherwise your placeholder may break and need to be redone. Do not forget that if you cannot use the space maintainer, tooth crowding may occur. If you observe a tooth coming out from under the space maintainer, your dentist should be contacted. Use your space maintainer regularly, as recommended by your doctor, depending on its type. Do not play with the wires on the placeholder. Do not remove your placeholder from your mouth frequently. Don't drop it or lose it. The reconstruction of the lost placeholder is subject to different fees until the end of a certain period.
