Hello everyone!

“Kasuga Dental Clinic” in Monzennakacho.

 

If you hear dentures, you might have an image that elderly people use.

In fact, dentures are a treatment used by those who have lost their teeth.

However, dentures are also used by "those whose teeth will grow in the future".

This time, let's introduce a gap retention device like a denture.

 

• What is a gap?

Spacing means securing space for permanent teeth to grow.

When deciduous teeth turn into permanent teeth, they grow up with the law. Another feature is that the teeth to be removed are determined by age.

If this law breaks down, the deciduous teeth will be tilted by the timing of permanent tooth growth.

If this happens, there will be less space for permanent teeth, so it will be necessary to keep a gap.

 

• What is a gap retention device?

There are several types of gap retention devices, but if many teeth are missing, a device similar to dentures may be installed.

In addition, if there is only one tooth, a gap holding device with a metal loop attached to a metal cover is used.

 

The teeth arrangement of a child also affects the teeth of the adult.

Please contact us if you have any problems with your teeth.
