4 Teeth Pulled, Spacers, the Braces!!?



Answers:    Generally it will be covered by your dental insurance(I assume this is why you are asking). A dental spacer, or space maintainer, is used to retain room for a permanent tooth that will not erupt before the tooth or teeth aft it will shift forward. It is important! If it is not used it can explanation serious problems later on, including but not limited to remval of everlasting teeth, longer time in orthodontia, and increased risk of cavities. If for any common sense your insurance will not cover this treatment you should still have a "spacer" placed. The smll cost now will be worth it surrounded by the long run.
