Space maintainer-- An orthodontic appliance that is worn to prevent adjacent teeth from moving into the space left by an unerupted or prematurely lost tooth.
If a tooth has not yet erupted or is prematurely lost, the orthodontist may insert an appliance called a space maintainer to keep the other teeth from moving out of their natural position.

they push your teeth apart in the back of your mouth before you get braces on. when you get braces put on, a metal circle thing(i cant think of what its called) wraps around your back teeth, it acts like an anchor. spacers help make room for that. hope this helps The metal thing that goes around your back teeth is called a band
when i needed space in my teeth before braces, they put spacers between my teeth, little blue circles, feels weird the first day, the second day it hurts in the morning, and you feel very fine the third day
An Orthodontist will put rubber bands between the teeth to increase the space there. This may be necessary to get the metal bracket anchors in place. It takes time, but the constant pressure will make them move.
An orthodontist can put braces on your teeth
No.
Yes, some dentist might suggest that extracting primary teeth when they are almost out can help the eruption of adult teeth, but there is no proof that this prossess really helps. Put in mind that extracting primary teeth too early can move teeth, making less space for adult teeth.
using car maintainer,,,, There is a big difference in a regular Battery Charger and a Battery Maintainer. A Maintainer will keep a battery charged and can be connected full time without overcharging. The usual Battery Charger is for intermittent use at times when your battery is so weak that it must be recharged in a short time, then disconnected from the charger to keep it from overcharging. A good Maintainer can not overcharge.
It's called a diastema.GAPspaced teethThe technical term for space between permanent teeth is 'diastema.' The technical term for space between primary teeth is 'primate space.'
