The first step in the process involves a comprehensive dental examination by Dr. Matt. He will assess your child's oral health, examine the space left by the lost tooth, and determine if a space maintainer is necessary. He'll also discuss the procedure in detail, answering any questions you might have and ensuring you understand the benefits and importance of the treatment.
Once it's decided that a space maintainer is needed, the next step involves designing the device to fit your child's mouth perfectly. Dr. Matt will take an impression of your child's teeth, which is then sent to a dental lab where the space maintainer is created. This ensures a comfortable and effective fit.
The final step is fitting the space maintainer. Dr. Matt will carefully attach the device to your child's teeth, making sure it's secure and comfortable. He'll then provide detailed instructions on how to care for the space maintainer and schedule follow-up visits to monitor its effectiveness.
