Spacers or Space Maintainers are removable or fixed passive appliances designed to prevent tooth movement and generally are placed following tooth extraction(s) or in cases of congenitally missing teeth. This allows the free movement of new teeth coming into place and keeps the bite even preventing a more serious Malocclusion.
